We at CN hold our environmental performance as a key indicator in the company's development and continuing success.
The company recognizes the need for continual improvement in all aspects of its business, but in particular in its environmental performance.
As with any other international companies in this sector, sustainability is a must for our survival.
With this in mind, Cimenterie Nationale SAL commits itself to the following objectives:
 | Comply with relevant National Environmental Standards and Legislation as a minimum |
|
| | Promote the use of Best Available Technology- BAT Not Entailing Excessive Cost- NEEC resulting in cleaner production and emissions reduction. |
| | Conservation of natural resources through production optimization, minimization of wastes and recycling where applicable and rehabilitation of exploited areas. |
| | Continuously improve the effectiveness of our Environmental Management System built according to ISO 14001 standards. |
| | Commit to raise the environmental awareness of employees by their participation in the Environmental Management System. |
In this regard, we work with the local community and are sensitive
to their environmental needs in order to be recognized as good neighbours;
furthermore, we closely work with regulatory authorities to promote
and implement relevant national and international initiatives.
Top management is highly committed in this respect since more than
10 years during which about 20 million US$ were invested for improving
and ameliorating the environmental work conditions in the plant and
in the surroundings. Getting the EMS ISO 14001 in the year
2005, gave an added value to what we have been doing environmentally.
Continual environmental
awareness of all CN staff at different levels was mainly the
first challenge we took when building our EMS due to the importance
of their involvement in complying with the environmental policy
and related procedures/processes within the Environmental
Management System. The provided staff training are mainly
conducted internally by our qualified personnel, or externally
conducted by professional trainers in specialized local or
foreign companies.
An environmental assessment was done on all operation in order
to identify the environmental aspects and their impact on
the environment, then the identified aspects were evaluated
on a two dimensional scale based on seriousness and probability.
