Cement Sustainability Initiative: Guidelines on Quarry Rehabilitation

© WBCSD, December 2011. ISBN: 978-3-940388-82-7

The guidelines contain a clear set of recommendations for the development and implementation of a quarry rehabilitation plan. The objectives of the CSI in developing these recommendations are: (i) Support the process of quarry rehabilitation across member companies, and by doing so, improve the standard of rehabilitation projects for existing and new sites. (ii) Ensure that CSI members have a common understanding of the CSI KPIs on quarry rehabilitation and that reporting against these KPIs is consistent across members. While the guidelines are aimed primarily at CSI member companies, it is also hoped that other industry participants will find the guidelines to be relevant and consider adopting them, thereby contributing to a wider improvement in standards.
