Cement Sustainability Initiative Progress Report 2007
|
|
In
2005, The Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI) published an interim progress report charting the initiative’s
work and accomplishments since its inception. The report stated what the CSI
had pledged to do, what it had accordingly accomplished, how it measured performance,
and future plans. The material below brings that report up to date, and adds a
few future challenges to the work of the CSI.
Climate
change and environmental issues now increasingly dominate both political and
business agendas, driven by climate research that has made clear mankind’s
impact on the climate and the large economic costs of inaction. Industries that
understand their impacts and adapt early will move ahead and prosper in a
future sustainable economy. CSI companies have recognized this, and are
committed to continuing to align the cement industry with the best sustainable
practices, fully aware that early action will be pivotal both for the planet
and for their industry.
