»Stakeholder Dialogues

During the research phase we initiated a series of seven stakeholder dialogues. Four of these, held in Brazil, Thailand, Portugal and Egypt, were for local and national government representatives, residents' groups, employees, consumer organizations, suppliers, and NGOs. Two other dialogues were held in Washington, D.C. and Brussels and were aimed at global environmental interest groups, policy-making bodies, and multilateral finance and development organizations. The final session, in China, was held with representatives of the Chinese cement industry and government officials to discuss what we had learned and how it might be applied in China.

As part of our engagement process, we also held an on-line dialogue in November 2004 to review draft guidelines with more than 100 registered participants from more than 20 countries. The task force on Responsible use of fuels and materials has used feedback from all these processes in formulating their guidelines.
