1 Environmental certification of quarries and concrete plants Experience and benefits of a simplified method Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 1

2 The world s fifth largest cement producer A worldwide presence in 22 countries 63 Cement plants 613 Concrete plants 134 Quarries 15 Grinding centers 5 Terminals Over employees 2007 : Over 6 billion Euro annual sales Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 2

3 Country network : decentralized FRANCE BELGIUM GSM Ciments Calcia Unibéton CCB Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 3

4 ISO certification in GSM Among a hundred sites in France and Belgium, 39 are certified ISO and 5 are about to be certified. Among those sites : 9 sites certified with ISO/EMASEasy method 5 sites about to be certified with this method Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 4

5 ISO certification in Unibéton et CCB Béton About 200 concrete plants spread over 7 areas. 9 concrete plants certified ISO (the first one in 2006) and 2 about to be certified. All with ISO/EMASEasy method Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 5

6 Interest of the ISO/EMASEasy method After 3 years of application Ecomapping : an environmental problem approach Understandable by a larger number of employees Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 6

7 Interest of the ISO/EMASEasy method Weather map : Practical tool that allows to associate, at the start of the process, all stakeholders in the project. The results are taken into account in prioritizing impacts (Flipo). Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 7

8 Interest of the ISO/EMASEasy method Few procedures and visual mapping process, simple documentation system Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 8

9 Interest of the ISO/EMASEasy method Simple and functional tools This internal audit and registration of non-conformity tool is adapted to sites specifications. Checks are identified : Who Which frequency What Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 9

10 Interest of the ISO/EMASEasy method Simple and functional tools The environment manual includes all chapters of the standard and assumes its application on the site. Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 10

11 Interest of the ISO/EMASEasy method Simple and functional tools The «identity card» reminds each one his role and responsibility in the system. Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 11

12 Interest of the ISO/EMASEasy method After 3 years of application Responsibilities are spread over several people The system is suitable for the operation of each site The participatory approach involves all stakeholders throughout the process of setting up the EMS. With those tools and methodology, greater ownership by the teams of the site is noted. Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 12

13 Difficulties of the ISO/EMASEasy method After 3 years of application The reduced formalization can cause transmission problems during a change of staff, particularly when the system is worn by a person. The simplification of the documentation is not taken into account when setting the certification audit (overestimation of the audit time apple increase of the cost). Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 13

14 Difficulties of the ISO/EMASEasy method After 3 years of application The completeness of identifying environmental issues are not always easily demonstrable, which can pose difficulties during audits (time spent on the justification of the method towards the requirements of the standard). Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 14

15 ISO ISO Easy certification in France-Belgium Systematically positives conclusions of the auditors: Willingness to learn and improve the system Motivation of people interviewed The holding of the sites The operational turn dedicated to EMS Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 15

16 Conclusion ISO/EMASEasy method is well suited to structures such SME and small industrial sites. However, ISO certification remains heavy for those with small structures and provides very few direct (no recovery of the product) and indirect economic benefits (too low recognition by the administration and stakeholders). Italcementi Group France-Belgique Direction Environnement & Accès à la Ressource 16
