Business Case for Sustainability

Through a business case developed by Forum for the Future, it has been possible to analayse the overall value of the industry in terms of environmental, social and economic costs and benefits.  This has enabled the industry to identify the key sustainability areas on which to focus its attention - the continuing development of the carbon reduction strategy up to 2050 for contributing to the government policy to tackle climate change; the recognition of the positive perception from the industry stakeholders on the benefits of cement in sustainable construction; the well-being and health and safety of employees and neighbouring communities; and a reduction of environmental costs and improvement of the social and economic benefits, not only from cement manufacturing but through its entire life-cycle over the whole life of buildings.
