The 
International Energy Agency
(IEA) examines 
the full spectrum of energy issues including oil, gas 
and coal supply and demand, renewable energy 
technologies, electricity markets, energy efficiency, 
access to energy, demand side management 
and much more. Through its work, the IEA 
advocates policies that will enhance the reliability, 
affordability and sustainability of energy in its 
30 member countries, 7 association countries
and beyond.
The four main areas of IEA focus are:
z
Energy Security
: Promoting diversity, efficiency, 
flexibility and reliability for all fuels and energy 
sources;
z
Economic Development
: Supporting free 
markets to foster economic growth and 
eliminate energy poverty;
z
Environmental Awareness
: Analysing 
policy options to offset the impact of energy 
production and use on the environment, 
especially for tackling climate change and air 
pollution; and
z
Engagement Worldwide
: Working closely with 
association and partner countries, especially 
major emerging economies, to find solutions to 
shared energy and environmental concerns.
The 
Cement Sustainability Initiative
(CSI) is 
a global effort by 24 major cement producers 
with operations in more than 100 countries who 
believe there is a strong business case for the 
pursuit of sustainable development. Collectively, 
these companies account for about one-third of 
the world’s cement production, and range in size 
from large multinational companies to small local 
producers. 
All CSI members have integrated sustainable 
development into their business strategies 
and operations, as they seek strong financial 
performance with an equally strong commitment 
to social and environmental responsibility. The 
CSI is an initiative of the World Business Council 
for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). The CSI is 
one of the largest global sustainability project ever 
undertaken by a single industry sector. To find out
