Joint to promote our capacities www.ficem-apcac.org United to strengthen our capacities www.ficem-apcac.org Alliance CSI – FICEM (Communication Partners) GNR Data Base (Getting The Numbers Right) CSI The Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI), a sector-project of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WCBSD), is a global effort by 24 major cement producers with operations in more than 100 countries. Currently all the CSI members are part of the GNR Program (Getting the Numbers Right), a voluntary, independently-managed database of CO2 emissions and energy performance Getting the Numbers Right Latin America In 2011, FICEM joined this initiative with CSI as a communication partner, with the purpose of promoting the participation of non CSI members in Latin America, in order to have a more comprehensive regional inventory of the cement industry CO2 emissions and energy efficiency in the region. Performance Report GNR Latin America The Latin America cement industry available information on CO2 emissions, represents 63% of the regional production. This information suggests that between 1990-2010 a reduction of 17.2% in the net CO2 emission per tonne. These reductions occurred largely during the second decade.

13. Joint to promote our capacities www.ficem-apcac.org United to strengthen our capacities www.ficem-apcac.org Final Statement As a developing sub-continent, Latin America has an important infraestructure program to be carried out and cement will provide the main materia basis for construction. The regional cement sector has made much progress to achieve ever cleaner production and it will keep moving forward. Work is being done so that the necessary expansion of the cement industry is continously achieved through the installation of modern units, with high energy efficiency and low emissons levels, matching the same standars of excellence that have been responsible for the industry´s current international recognition in the environmental sphere.
