 The Group has selected the international standard ISO 14001 as the Environmental management System reference to be implemented at site level. The ISO 14001 approach is based on three steps:
- compliance with all applicable standards
- prevention of potential environmental impacts
- continuous improvement of performance.
At the end of 2007, 78% of plants (47 out of 60) were certified. The Group’s next target is to certify at least 90% of clinker production facilities by 2010.
The Group’s target is to have 100% of its cement plants audited at least once in 4 years, starting from 2008. The first deadline will be the end of 2011.

Italcementi is strongly committed to implementing Continuous Emission Monitoring systems (CEMs), that are automatic devices that measure real time emissions 24 hours a day.
At the end of 2007, 68 operating kilns (66% of total) were equipped with CEMs covering, at the same time, dust (opacity monitors for North America), SO2 and NOx. Other 21 kilns were only equipped with dust or opacity monitors.
The Group is committed to meeting its more ambitious target of 90% by 2010.
