Sustainable development

The British Cement Association has appointed Stefania Rosso as Manager, Sustainable Development. Stefania will be leading the work to follow-up the UK cement-industry "Sustainable Development Task Force" report, Working Towards Sustainability, launched by Jonathon Porritt in the House of Commons in November 2005. Our European counterparts are way ahead of us on the issue of sustainable development. Despite corporate programs from companies like Caterpillar and Vulcan Materials, and an initiative by the Industrial Minerals Association, we have let this important issue slide. We should move fast to jump on the bandwagon. Your comment?
