Cement Sustainability, ESG & Safety Solutions
Independent audit, advisory, research and training that helps cement plants and mines cut risk, decarbonise and earn stakeholder trust — across the entire value chain.
Trusted across the cement industry
From global majors to India's fastest-growing producers — a partnership record spanning integrated plants, grinding units, ready-mix and mines.
Overview
Cement sustainability is now a board-level agenda
Cement and concrete underpin every road, home and factory — and account for roughly 7–8% of global CO₂ emissions. That places the sector at the centre of the net-zero transition, under intensifying pressure on safety, emissions, water, community relations and ESG disclosure.
Consultivo helps cement companies customise the right risk-management solutions — turning national laws, international codes and stakeholder expectations into a practical sustainability framework and a custom-built risk approach. We are an independent consulting organisation providing ESG, risk management and business excellence services globally.

The decarbonisation spine
Every credible cement net-zero plan pulls the same levers
Aligned to the GCCA 2050 Net-Zero Roadmap and SEBI BRSR, we help cement leaders move from ambition to auditable action across the recognised decarbonisation levers.
Clinker-factor reduction
Blended cements, calcined clay and supplementary cementitious materials to lower the most carbon-intensive component — with quality and compliance held intact.
Alternative fuels & co-processing
Raising the thermal substitution rate (TSR) through waste-derived and biomass fuels — safely, within emissions and hazardous-waste norms.
Thermal & electrical efficiency
Waste-heat recovery, kiln optimisation and energy audits feeding an ISO 50001 EnMS for sustained gains.
CCUS readiness
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage now accounts for the largest share of the industry's planned reductions — we help you assess feasibility and readiness.
Decarbonised electricity
Renewable power sourcing and Scope 2 strategy, integrated into a credible net-zero pathway.
GHG accounting & disclosure
Scope 1-2-3 GHG inventory, BRSR and independent assurance that stands up to scrutiny.
We work across the value chain
From the quarry face to the last mile
A long association with cement producers and their supply-chain members — covering primary sources, processing and distribution.

Cement sustainability — your questions
How can Consultivo help manage sustainability-related risks for the cement industry?
We offer comprehensive risk management across Safety, Social, Environment & Energy, People Advisory and Management Systems for cement plants and mines. Typical solutions include HIRA, HAZOP, QRA and hazardous-area classification; comprehensive, electrical and fire safety audits; sustainability & BRSR reporting; water and energy audits; CSR impact assessment; ISO management systems; and logistics & warehouse safety.
What is the Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI)?
The CSI was a voluntary, CEO-led global programme initiated by leading cement companies in 1999 under the WBCSD umbrella. Its work now continues through the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA), which partners with the WBCSD to drive sustainable development across the cement and concrete value chain.
What are the main cement decarbonisation levers?
Clinker-factor reduction (blended and calcined-clay cements), alternative fuels and co-processing to raise the thermal substitution rate, thermal and electrical energy efficiency including waste-heat recovery, CCUS readiness, decarbonised electricity, and transparent GHG accounting and disclosure through BRSR and sustainability reporting. See our decarbonisation spine above.
What does a cement plant safety audit cover?
A protocol-based, scored audit covers process and system safety across the pyro-process, mills and material handling, electrical and fire safety, work-at-height and confined space, contractor and logistics safety, and OHS legal compliance — benchmarked to ISO 45001 and statutory requirements, with a prioritised, closable action plan.
Does BRSR apply to cement companies?
Yes. Listed cement companies fall under SEBI's Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting mandate, including BRSR Core assurance and value-chain disclosure. We support producers with materiality, GHG inventory, ESG data systems, BRSR preparation and independent assurance.
