The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) is:• a CEO-led organization of forward-thinking companies

that galvanizes the global business community to create a sustainable future for business, society and the environment.

• Through its members, the Council applies its respected thought leadership and effective advocacy to generate constructivesolutions and take shared action.

Responsibilities vs. challenges

• Can its climate impacts be well managed ?• How can employee safety be improved?• “Green (sustainable) building” codes are growing in importance. Is

concrete a sustainable construction material?• Is water use being well managed?• What are the impacts of quarries on biodiversity?

Cement industry faces several sustainability challenges:

By answering these questions responsibly, cement (and concrete products) will be the key to economic and sustainable development in our rapidly changing and expanding societies.

CSI Protocol: The Cement CO2 and Energy Protocol

• Based on international WRI Greenhouse Gas Protocol• Developed for cement producing companies• Allows for reliable and standardised determination of energy use

and CO2-emissions inventories

2001: Agreement of CSI member companieson common CO2 Protocol

2006: Cement CO2 Protocol, Version 2 2011: Cement CO2 and Energy Protocol,

Version 3, English & Chinese→ in collaboration with

2013: Update to Version 3.12014-2016: International standardisation process

10

The CSI CO2 and Energy Protocol V3The User Guide is available in 4 languagesEnglish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean)

11

GHG Protocol V.3: What is new?

The new V3 Protocol allows:• Using different levels of complexity - and uncertainty - in order to facilitate

to join for new companies• Taking into account biomass CO2 from mixed (alternative) fuels - similar

methodologies used in EU ETS • Inclusion of a detailed method for considering CO2 emissions from on-site

power generation – consequence of increased CSI membership form Asia• Using harmonized rules to avoid double counting of internal clinker,

cement and MIC transfers and consolidation of plant level to company level accordingly - consequence of experiences with previous version

Furthermore it gives:• more flexibility in reporting different types of fuels• more support to use appropriate default values e.g. for power demand

• Queries are becoming more detailed

• GNR data used with other data bases such as “eurostats”.

• Some errors in data discovered.

• Queries often relate to protocol:– FAQ file being commissioned.

Queries from external stakeholders

Main reasons for non-answered questions:•Information not available•Information not “releasable” due to anti-trust & confidentiality• Questioner refused to accept costs

20

Stakeholders sending queries (examples)

• IFC• UNFCCC• Climate Registry• Boston Consulting Group• US EPA• California Air Resources Board• Coalition for Sustainable Cement Manufacturing &

Environment, California

• … (consulting companies, universities etc.)

21

Agenda

• The new CSI CO2 and Energy Protocol

• GNR status

• Next steps

22

Standardization of the CSI Protocol

• Together with 4 other industry sectors, the cement industry is working on CEN standards for GHG emission reporting and benchmarking

• Sectors: cement, lime, iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, aluminum

• The CSI Protocol is the basis for the new standard for the cement industry

• ISO has been involved from the beginning as most sectors are aiming at global standards

23

Looking ahead…• Concrete (made with cement) is the most used man-made material in the

world• In an increasingly urbanised population, concrete and cement will continue to

play a vital part in shaping our built environment• Essential to measure properly the positive and negative externalities (impacts

and benefits) to acquire the intelligence in aiding informed decision

CSI’s response• To finalize a Scope 3 Emissions Protocol • To initiate and conduct a broad analysis of the externalities of the cement and

concrete sector, based on the basis of robust data, models and evaluation toolsdeveloped over the years

• An attempt to systematically measure and account for the full impacts andbenefits of externalities – environmental as well as social
