In the 2002 Agenda for Action – the CSI’s blueprint outlining a pathway toward a more sustainable cement sector – CSI members affirmed their unified commitment to embarking on a systematic, proactive effort to improve their environmental and social impacts. Five critical sustainability work areas were identified, and a sixth – concrete recycling – was added in 2005. Progress to date is described below, as well as in the CSI’s 2005 interim report and 2007 full progress report .

• CO₂ and Climate Protection
• Responsible Use of Fuels and Raw Materials
• Employee Health and Safety
• Emissions Monitoring and Reduction 
• Local Impacts on Land and Communities
• Concrete Recycling
