Message from the General Manager
of Cementos Lima S.A.
Our fourth Sustainability Report constitutes important progress with the management model based
on sustainable development. Cementos Lima S.A., committed for many years to social and environmental
aspects, has been integrating and aligning the company’s corporate social responsibility with its value
chain and strategic vision.
This Sustainability Report has been drafted using the principles of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI),
which seeks to make information on the economic, social and environmental performance of companies
as available as information on their financial performance.
The subject of sustainable development is today inevitable and unavoidable and will leave a mark on our
society during the 21st Century. Sustainable development values various aspects such as quality of working
life, protection and respect for environmental resources, benefits to the community, responsible sales and
marketing and business ethics.
The ecological challenges are immense and an objective everywhere in the world is to curb emissions of
greenhouse gases, combat water shortages, deforestation, climate change, etc.; whilst development goals
are social: nutrition, education, health and infrastructure that seek to reduce poverty and are environmentally compatible and economically viable.
For this reason Cementos Lima S.A., as a responsible company concerned about sustainable development,
contributes to the protection and care of the environment, promoting development opportunities for the
community by improving its human and technical resources and strengthening its social organisations.
We are aware that corporate social responsibility is a great challenge for our management, but we are also
convinced that success lies in working responsibly with others, such as the public sector, private sector, civil
society, international aid and, of course, the community.
With this approach we are sure that we contribute to sustainable development “...as development that
responds to the needs of the present without compromising the ability to respond to the needs of future
generations.” (Brundtland Report).
Let me take this opportunity to thank the shareholders, directors and personnel of Cementos Lima S. A.
for their commitment to sustainable development, as well as our clients, suppliers and the community for
helping us to achieve our goal.

Sustainability Report 2007
Cementos Lima and the cement industry in Peru
general information
on Cementos Lima S.A.
Cementos Lima S.A. is the leading Peruvian company
dedicated to exploiting and processing the raw materials
involved in the production and sales of various types of
clinker and cement in the domestic and export markets.
The company accounts for 38% of total sales in the domestic market.
Cementos Lima’s Atocongo plant in the district of Villa
Maria del Triunfo in the city of Lima, currently has the capacity to produce 4.5 million MT of cement a year, including
3.6 million MT of clinker.
The development of our operations is based on two
main strategic principals.
The first is to satisfy our clients with high-quality products and services at competitive prices.
The second strategic objective is to expand its operations in both the domestic and export markets, maintaining its national leadership and achieving a competitive
position in the world, and this is being achieved through
new investments and exports to new markets.
In order to achieve these aims our company is implementing important investment projects linked principally
to increasing production and improving transport, among
others.
In addition to the operational investments, Cementos
Lima is concentrating on a number of programmes to
benefit our community, collaborators, clients and distri-
butors and the environment. Thus in 2003 we founded
Asociacion Atocongo to implement the company’s social
responsibility policy.
Furthermore, aware that our operations have an impact on the environment, we are thoroughly committed
to its preservation. We use the latest equipment and
employ professionals of the highest order, which enables
us to minimise these impacts in relation to international
standards.
We therefore make sure that the practices we employ
are the best within the field of corporate responsibility
and the company’s commitment to be a good corporate
neighbour.

HistorY OF Cementos Lima
Cementos Lima was incorporated in 1967 with cash contributions from Sindicato de Inversiones y Administra-­
­­cion S. A. (SIA, the company’s main shareholder) amounting to 50% of its capital, and assets and liabilities transferred from Compañia Peruana de Cementos Portland S.A.
(CPCP), Peru’s first cement company, created in 1916.
SIA took control of the company and began a process
of restructuring in order to overcome the operating and
financial problems faced by CPCP.
In 1974, during the military government, all of the
company’s shares were confiscated and transferred to
Inversiones Cofide S.A., a state-owned company. In 1981,
51% of the shares were returned to SIA and other shareholders and in 1994, as part of a re-privatisation programme, the remaining 49% of shares in Cementos Lima
still in state hands were sold and acquired by SIA and by
other shareholders.
By 2007, SIA held 68.03% of the ordinary shares in the
company, and it became not only the majority shareholder but also responsible for the company’s management. At present, pension funds (AFP) hold a significant
number of shares, jointly amounting to 24.5% of the
ordinary shares and 51.9% of investment shares.
We also have five active subsidiaries:

Compañia Electrica El Platanal S.A. (60% owned)

Cementos Lima TODAY
The construction sector has been growing strongly since
the beginning of this decade. January to December 2007
saw continued growth in domestic sales, producing earnings of S/. 864’ 140,000 (S/. 749’ 801,000 for 2006).

Sales income from export markets position us for the
seventh consecutive year as the leading exporters in
Peru’s non-metallic mining sector. The total exported by
the company was US$ 35’021,216, which represents 21.4%
of total exports by the sector.
It should be mentioned that during 2007 we exported
to six countries, all on the American continent.
Better operational and non-operational results
meant that profits by December 2007 amounted to
S/. 202’100,000, a change of 47.5% equivalent to basic earnings per ordinary share of S/. 4.85.
OUR products
Cementos Lima produces five Types of cement: Type I,
Type IP, Type II, Type IBA and Type V. Type I cement is
marketed under the “Cemento Sol” brand; which is the largest selling type in the market, representing 92% of the
company’s cement production.
Type IP cement is sold under the “Supercemento Atlas”
brand and represents 6% of the company’s cement production.
Although we certainly sell the cement produced to our
different clients, it should be emphasised that Type I Sol
brand cement is also used in social infrastructure projects

carried out by Cementos Lima jointly with civil society,
local governments and the community in general, details
of this work are given below.
Certification
At the beginning of 2003 we commissioned our Integrated
Management System (IMS) developed from our Quality
Management System, aimed at creating the conditions for
obtaining international certification, mainly concerning
quality requirements, protection of the environment, safety and occupational health, international sales and corporate social responsibility.
In 2007 we renewed our BASC certification for the
plant and Conchan port facility, for a one-year period.
Furthermore, SGS carried out an external audit of the IMS,
including the company’s quality management in relation
to our ISO 9001 certification. Equally, Peru’s national port
authority granted us further ISPS certification for the
Conchan port facility.

A responsible company
AsociaciOn Atocongo:
the corporate social responsibility
organisation of Cementos Lima
As a company concerned about sustainable development,
Cementos Lima S.A. provides products which benefit millions
of people who rely on their quality. It collaborates in developing the zone and the communities adjacent to its factory, as
well as with its clients and suppliers.
In order to consolidate this task of corporate social
responsibility, in August 2003 Cementos Lima created the
“Asociacion Atocongo”, a non-profit association, to implement corporate social responsibility policies in conjunction
with different interest groups, strengthening their abilities,
linking them with development processes through pro-
grammes and projects and by establishing alliances with
public and private bodies, civil society and international
aid.
The aim of all this is to work responsibly in its immediate surroundings in order to generate cooperation and
confidence between private industry and the community.
We strongly believe that no company can be successful in
a society with high levels of inequality.
Our principal projects
We are concentrating on the development of various
investment projects which will increase production and
operational efficiency.
One of these projects is an increase in the production capacity of the Atocongo plant by 1,2 million tons.
Engineering work started at the beginning of 2007 and
should be completed by the end of 2009.
Details of the company’s other investment projects are
given below:
Atocongo-ConchAn Environmental
Conveyor Belt
This is a strategic project which consists of the construction
of a subterranean tubular conveyer to carry raw materials
and finished products between Cementos Lima’s plant
and Conchan Pier. The conveyor is approximately 8,2 Km
long and when commissioned it will minimise the environ-
Cementos Lima
17
mental impact of the trucks which currently transport these
materials.
The tunnel and conveyor belt have been completed
satisfactorily and the system is expected to be in operation
in early 2008.
Use of natural gas
Since 2006 we have been taking steps to encourage
the use of cleaner energy sources such as natural gas.
Therefore the Atocongo plant has been connected to
the Camisea gas supply network and gas is now being
used as a fuel. We will now apply for carbon reduction
certificates within the Kyoto Protocol Clean Development
Mechanism.
18
Sustainability Report 2007
We have also started engineering work for converting
the electricity generating plant of Generacion Electrica
Atocongo (GEA) to run on natural gas instead of diesel
fuel, this work is expected to be completed in the second
half of 2009.
Import OF Prefabricados Andinos PerU S.A.
(PREANSA)
This new subsidiary has recently been incorporated
by Cementos Lima. Its purpose is the manufacture of
prestressed and prefabricated concrete structures,
their sale in the domestic and international markets
and directly related activities in general. It is estimated that the
company should start trading in the first quarter of 2008.
Drake Cement LLC project in Arizona –
USA
As part of our plan for expansion abroad, in February
2007 the board of directors approved the construction
and commissioning of a cement plant with a production capacity of 600,000 tons in northern Arizona, in the
United States, in association with the Yavapai – Apache
nation.
Cementos Lima
19
COMPAÑIA ElEctrica “El Platanal S.A.”
The project consists of the construction of a 210 MW
hydroelectric power station, involving an investment of
220 million dollars. This plant will be the second largest
privately owned hydroelectric station in the country. The
project began on the 31st of October 2006 and construction is estimated to take 36 months; the plant will start
producing in the final quarter of 2009. This power station
will deliver energy to the national grid system.

Stakeholders
Who are oUR Stakeholders?
Cementos Lima considers its interest groups to be all of
those having direct or indirect relations with the company and which, therefore, form part of its value chain.
That is why it employs a management model in which
corporate social responsibility plays an important part
as far as economic, social and environmental impacts
derived from its business activity are concerned. This implies, therefore, a renewed commitment by the company
to its surroundings and its interest groups.
In Cementos Lima we view corporate social responsibility as a way of establishing links and transmitting ethical
values aimed at guiding the company’s conduct and relationships, both internally and externally.
The company reflects results such as the following with
each one of its interest groups: the profitability of its shareholders’ investments, the welfare of its people, preservation of the environment, good business practices with
its clients and suppliers, relations with the community and
participation in social action.
We also promote conflict prevention and resolution
involving actors related to the company: the community,
local governments and civil society.

Self-assessment of relationships
with stakeholders
During 2007 we carried out a self-assessment of the work
done by Cementos Lima with each one of its stakeholders.
The indicators included here in seven groups correspond to the CSR model for Peru 2021: Shareholders and
investors, Collaborators, Clients, Suppliers, The community,
The environment y Government and society
The percentages place Cementos Lima in the upper
50%, specifically at 73%. This is a satisfactory result, considering that it was the first year in which CSR Peru 2021
indicators apply to Cementos Lima. These results will
serve as a baseline for drawing up an integral CSR action
plan.

Voluntary work “Construyendo Voluntades”
In mid 2006, the “Construyendo Voluntades” programme
was created, involving a group of volunteer collaborators
who in 2007 helped in the development of the company’s
neighbouring communities. In this second year they continued with activities aimed at improving the living conditions of these people. These included the start of work
on improving infrastructure and the acquisition of school
equipment for PRONOEI, (Program Not enrolled in school
of Initial Education), Niño Jesús de Villa María del Triunfo.
Construyendo Voluntades also has the advantage
that it encourages union and solidarity among our collaborators, as well as greater teamwork.
Collaborators and families
Cementos Lima S.A. encourages active participation by its employees and families in various activities,
programmes and social projects, aimed at integration,
solidarity and a business identity.
In 2007 the wives and children of our collaborators took part in our “Know the factory”, “New Year”,
“Children’s Party” and “Internal Volleyball Championship”
programmes.
C.The community
Our work is governed by five basic principles of corporate social responsibility: solidarity, respect, responsibility,
loyalty and perseverance.
With the support of Asociacion Atocongo, in 2007
we implemented social investment programmes and
projects in southern Lima (the districts of Villa Maria
Cementos Lima
37
del Triunfo, Pachacamac, Villa El Salvador, San Juan de
Miraflores and Lurin), concentrating on three things:
education and culture, infrastructure, and economic
development and local management. Similarly, this year
we started infrastructure projects in northern and eastern Lima. We also collaborate with public health and
security initiatives as well as environmental conservation
and care projects, among others.
We have taken part in several forums for dialogue
and collaboration, including the Round Table for the
Fight against Poverty in Southern Lima, the Association
of Southern Municipalities (AMASUR), the Villa María del
Triunfo Urban Agriculture Forum and environmental
committees in Tablada de Lurín, Nueva Esperanza and
José Gálvez, in the district of Villa María del Triunfo.
Our priority is to train, strengthen and empower human
capital. In doing so we are improving lives, opportunities
and autonomy. With this in mind, in September 2007 we
created a “Training Centre”, in which various educational
and cultural activities are held to improve development
and the ability to succeed of the different members of
the community of southern Lima.
Educational and cultural programmes
Aware that education in Peru is the basis for the country’s
future, we at Cementos Lima wanted to make a contribution through different educational and cultural Programs
that would motivate boys, girls and young people. Thus,
during 2007 we worked on fourteen Programs, benefiting 41 educational institutions, 750 teachers and 23,000
students.
38
Sustainability Report 2007
they can respond adequately to the social problems in
which they are immersed.
■
Environmental education
Environmental education is a strategic part of the
process of learning and the school curriculum; as a
teaching tool it uses the ecological garden (creation,
planting, etc.). It is through this programme that we
have implemented ecological gardens in ten schools,
involving 119 plots of land amounting to a total of
655 m2, worked by students, teachers and parents.
■
Mathematics for All
The purpose of the programme is to increase mathematical skills among public school pupils in southern
Lima using a German methodology based on situations or examples from our daily lives, the programme
will benefit 14,795 students.
Workshops were held for 382 teachers, updating their
knowledge and creating motivation and friendship
between teachers in the twenty three schools benefiting from this programme.
As part of this programme a “book bank” has also been
created for the schools, which gives pupils access to
high quality educational materials.
■
Art and the children and young people of Pachacamac
Artistic abilities are stimulated together with human
development, using art as the common language for
children and young people with few opportunities in
the district of Pachacamac; 204 students and twelve
teachers from three public schools have benefited.
■
Education in values
Seeks to strengthen the personal and professional
skills of teachers through a programme of education
in values that favours a positive emotional climate in
the classroom and helps to reinforce the educating
role of parents through the “school for parents”.
In addition, the idea is that through the teachers pupils (children and young people) will develop spontaneous emotions that enable them to live in harmony
and with better levels of understanding.

■
Buena Voz - Young Leaders
The purpose of the programme is to contribute to the
sustainable development of the districts of southern
Lima, training young leaders through a programme of
values and the acquisition of leadership qualities.
During 2007 the programme benefited 175 young
people from five public schools in the district of Villa
Maria del Triunfo.
The young people of the “Buena Voz” programme have
a space for dialogue which helps them to consolidate
their personalities and psychological structure so that
Rum – Rum El Explorador – Interactive Bus
This consists of taking an interactive bus to six public
primary schools (in the district of Pachacamac), the
proposal is methodological, active and participatory,
for children under seven and aims to develop skills
through plan and exploration.
Also during 2007, four talks with parents and three
methodology workshops for teachers, head teachers
and administrators were held, as well as three round
tables at which head teachers, representatives of the
Asociacion Atocongo and representatives of UGEL 01
discussed subjects of interest in the field of education.
■
Young Business Achievement Programme
The programme develops a pilot plan for improving the
workplace skills of 4th and 5th grade students of two
schools in Villa Maria del Triunfo, through improving the
skills of teachers, encouragement of businesses run by
young people and the development of skills required
in seeking employment. The programme benefited
120 students and fifty teachers.

We are also working on six cultural programmes:
■
Amancay Sanctuary (Business Creativity Award 2006)
It is important for Cementos Lima to carry out its activities in harmony with the environment. In this case an
area of approximately fifty hectares, located one of the
company’s concessions in Pachacamac is given over to
the “Programme for the Conservation and Protection
of Biodiversity in Seasonal Ecosystems”. It also promotes
research to provide educational institutions such as
schools and universities, with better knowledge of the
vegetation in the zone.
■
Pueblo Viejo and Tablada de Lurin
As part of an agreement with the Pontificia Universidad
Catolica del Peru (PUCP), we have carried out archaeological research projects at Pueblo Viejo and Tablada
de Lurin.
The work carried out at Pueblo Viejo has clarified a
number of questions on land management and use
of the environment in areas of seasonal vegetation or
lomas. Furthermore, archaeology students from the
PUCP carry out their practical work there.
■
Visit to the Museum of Art
Our visits to the Museum of Art have introduced eight
hundred students and teachers from public schools
southern Lima into an active learning environment
which gives its participants a new and significant experience of Peruvian art.
■
Theatre Programme: – “Theatre in School” – “My Theatre Workshop”
“Theatre in School” has created casts of actors at four
schools in the district of Villa Maria del Triunfo who take
part in different theatre festivals and have obtained
recognition in a number of competitions in 2007, as
detailed below:
• FESTTA competition: first place in the districts of
Lurin and Villa Maria del Triunfo. At regional level,
Cementos Lima
“Juan Valer Sandoval” school No 6093 obtained third
place.
• 8th MALI (Museum of Art of Lima) Inter-school
Competition, “Juan Valer Sandoval” school No. 6093
(secondary school) was awarded first place for the
second year running in the Scenic Arts category,
with the play “Doña Contaminación y Don Verde”.
The “My Theatre Workshop” programme uses a methodology of dramatic play in which participants overcome the obstacles facing them at their age and create a
spectacle in which they demonstrate their stage skills by
applying basic acting techniques (bodily expression, vocal
expression and reading).

In a similar vein we also promote two sporting initiatives:
■
FUTSAL, Sports and Recreation
Together with the Peruvian FUTSAL Association we organised for the third consecutive year a championship
in the southern cone of the city, in which the districts
of Villa Maria del Triunfo, Villa El Salvador, San Juan de
Miraflores, Pachacamac and Lurin took part.
■
Cycling with DownHill Peru
In conjunction with Down Hill Peru we are encouraging cycling through competitions in different categories, on a circuit specially prepared in the intangible
zone of the Amancay Sanctuary in Pachacamac.
■
Kung Fu
With Kung Fu’s Peruvian Federation there is realized
the Sports Recreative program and Disciplinary Kung
Fu for children and young men and women of the
centers filled of Pachacámac.
Social Infrastructure
Cementos Lima S.A. recognises that improved infrastructure is essential to the development of Peru. It has therefore implemented three infrastructure programmes administered by Asociacion Atocongo, that have benefited
64,000 inhabitants.
■
Community Infrastructure Project
As part of a participatory process, social organisations submitted infrastructure projects, which are evaluated before
help is given in the form of building footpaths, retaining
walls, water and drainage systems and improvements to
public schools.
Our collaboration consisted of the provision of bags cement, and the community contributed other materials
and labour. Our technical team gave advice on work site.
■
Strengthening Public Schools and Community Organisations
This is aimed at improving the condition of infrastructure for preschool primary education programmes
Cementos Lima
43
(PRONOEI). Thanks to this programme, children from
birth to the age of five now have adequate classrooms
and trained persons in charge for their education.
Our collaboration consisted of the provision of 3,219
bags of cement and the community contributed other
materials and labour.
■
Construyendo Peru
We are taking part in infrastructure projects in the
communities of southern Lima, northern Lima, central
Lima and eastern Lima, approved by the Construyendo
Peru programme formerly the central goverment´s A
Trabajar Urbano Project and have handed over a total
of 25,501 bags of cement.

Economic development
and local management
Our commitment is to create opportunities that can be
made use of by the community, in order to strengthen its
capacity for self development. To this end we have built
strategic alliances with international aid and civil organisations, among others, and seek to continue the fight
against poverty and promote the development of social
organisations.
Thus, for the third consecutive year, in conjunction
with the office of the United Nations Development
Programme’s Small Grant Programme we organised the
3rd Invitation to:
■ The Summons III for the Program of Innovative,
local and participative Initiatives to preserve the
Environment, with an investment of US$ 25,000 for
project. The projects execute with base organisations
of Lima South and Cañete’s province. To the date,
they find in execution 13 projects that they benefit
to 3,500 persons approximately. Equally, programs
are carried out of initiatives and social insertion. The
above mentioned programs have as purpose develop
managerial and productive capacity.
■ Programme for the promotion of young business
people in Villa Maria del Triunfo: this programme has
benefited 1,264 young people.
■ Solid waste recycling programme with social inclusion: this has benefited 8,000 families in Villa Maria del
Triunfo.
■ Scholarships for young people – CETPRO Villaregia:
has benefited one hundred young people in southern
Lima.

Furthermore, in order to develop skills and abilities
useful in the labour market, integral training programmes were continued during 2007 in the following rural
communities (C.P.R.): Guayabo, Picapiedra and Quebrada
Verde in the district of Pachacámac in southern Lima.
■ oOfficially recognised work training programme.
■ o Family guidance programme.
During 2007 and with the backing of the Peruvian
Kung Fu Federation, the following programme was implemented in the three schools in the C.P.R in the district
of Pachacamac:
■ “Kung fu” sporting, recreational and discipline programme aimed at children and adolescents in the
area.
Our participation and experience over this period
enabled is to strengthen our links with the community
and our corporate identity.
Strengthening abilities facilitates the reduction of
inequality, the creation of opportunities and social inclusion - a subject of much importance in Peru for many
years.
The positive results of CSR management (corporate
social responsibility) are the product of dialogue and
respect for different stakeholders, covering matters from
the nature of our business to corporate culture and the
situation of the sector.
The work of Asociacion Atocongo has enabled
Cementos Lima to reaffirm its management model and
commitment to neighbouring communities. What is
more, the work done over these years enables us to confirm that social responsibility concerns both the public
and private sectors and civil society.

E.Suppliers
One of the most important concerns for Cementos
Lima is maintaining good relations with our suppliers. This
is reflected in the service we receive from them.
Many of our suppliers are concerned with our production process; that is, they work on our premises and are
employed through contractors.
The first thing we demand of our suppliers is that they
employ good business practices, so that they fit in with
our commitment and the demands of the United Nations
Global Compact, which we signed in 2004.
These good practices concern compliance by our suppliers with the social and labour legislation applicable to
the employees working in any activity on our premises.
Thus Cementos Lima has a programme of training
applicable to each specific job carried out; we also provide all the industrial safety tools necessary for their work.
In this way we provide the best conditions for their work
on our installations.
The idea is that we and our suppliers think the same
way and share the social responsibilities of our companies, which, in the medium to long term gives us better
production processes, better management practices and
cost savings.

F.Government
We are a company that is committed to the development of the country. Since our foundation we have met
our obligations to the different branches of the State
promptly.
In 2007 we paid taxes amounting to S/. 130’659,526.
Of this contribution, S/.87’168,111 represents income tax
paid while the remaining 43’491,415 represents value
added tax paid.
On the 15th of August the country suffered a severe earthquake, which affected the provinces of Cañete, Chincha,
Pisco and Ica. Faced with this emergency, Cementos Lima,
donated 200,000 bags of cement to the central government.
Working in concert with local governments
Cn order to promote and implement social development
projects in the districts of southern Lima, Cementos Lima
has signed agreements with the municipalities of Villa
Maria del Triunfo, Villa El Salvador, San Juan de Miraflores,
Pachacamac and Lurin.
The initiatives covered by these agreements concern
education, social infrastructure and care of the environment, among others. All of them involve participation by
the community aimed at local government and private
sector transparency.
G.The environment
Aware that our operations generate impacts on the environment, we at Cementos Lima are strongly committed to
caring for it; for this reason we recognise the importance
of identifying and evaluating our environmental impacts
in order to find solutions which enable the company to
develop while managing natural resources correctly. We
therefore employ first-class professionals and possess
the latest infrastructure and equipment with which to
monitor our environmental impacts in accordance with
international standards.
We have eighteen environmental management tools,
some of which are: environmental impact studies environmental management programmes, obligatory reports,
etc.
All of these have been approved by the competent environmental authority, which is the Ministry of Production.
The company therefore carries out its activities taking
environmental management plans into account, in accordance with the commitments assumed in each instrument
and its environmental policy contained in the Integrated
Management System.
Environmental controls and monitoring
programme
Air Quality
During 2007 we continued to monitor air quality in our
production units, in accordance with the programme
established in each environmental management plan
implemented by Cementos Lima. In order to carry out
this programme, the company uses sampling equipment
for particles, gas analysers and meteorological towers.
Environmental reports are submitted to the competent
authority for evaluation.
The aim is to evaluate the influence of the plant,
quarries and port operations on the air quality of their
areas of influence by comparison with air and noise
standards included in current Peruvian environmental
legislation.
The production units have air quality monitoring points at: The production units have air quality monitoring
points at the Atocongo plant and quarries, Conchan port
facility and the Cristina, Las Hienas, Virgen de Fatima and
Las Dunas concessions.
Atmospheric emissions
The cement manufacturing process includes several systems for reducing particle emissions, such as multi -cyclones, sleeve filters, collectors, mist system dust control,
electrostatic precipitators, etc.
In 2007, as in previous years, we monitored gaseous
emissions and carried out isokinetic sampling of particulate material in the plant’s chimneys, to find out whether
Cementos Lima
49
they are working properly and efficiently to produce cement in a cleaner way.
By means of S.D. No. 003-2002-PRODUCE, the Ministry
of Production approved maximum permissible limits
(MPL) for emissions from kilns, compliance with which
is obligatory; these are our reference. Furthermore, the
Prime Minister’s Office (PCM) has introduced a draft bill
creating maximum permissible limits for SO2 emissions
from cement kilns, which is in the public participation
stage and which has been taken into account in this
document for comparing the company’s emissions. As
far as NOx is concerned, Venezuelan legislation has been
used for reference, as Peru does not have values for this
pollutant.

Energy efficiency
At Cementos Lima we are concerned to reduce internal
energy consumption. For this reason we have developed
the following initiatives:
Initiatives to reduce energy consumption
Iniciative
Description
1. Increase and
modernization
of the production
capacity of Line 1
Increasing clinker and cement production capacity through modifications to Line 1 implies improvements
to the calcining, limestone milling and cement processes; this is aimed at optimising electricity and fuel consumption per ton of clinker produced and places special emphasis on the use of natural gas, it also aims to
minimise emissions through the use of dust collectors with sleeve and electrostatic filters to guarantee emissions less than the 100 mg/m3 recorded for Line 2.
2.Use of natural gas
This project has introduced the use of natural gas from the Camisea field as an energy source in the
cement manufacturing process, reducing gaseous emissions by more than thirty percent, improving
environmental air quality and optimising the cost of energy used in production. At present, Kilns I and II
are connected to the mains gas supply.
3. Cements
with additives
Cementos Lima S.A. has evaluated a project for adding limestone materials to the type I cement milling stage
in order to reduce the consumption of clinker in that process.
The use of limestone materials to replace clinker in the manufacture of cement brings environmental benefits,
because it optimises energy and fuel consumption as less clinker is used; this reduces gaseous emissions in
the clinker decarbonating and calcining process.
Indicator
Description
“El Platanal” hydroelectric
power station
This project is being implemented in the provinces of Yauyos and Cañete in the department
of Lima.
Description of the initiative
Cementos Lima in association with other companies is implementing the “El Platanal”
integral multi sector project in the River Cañete basin through Messrs CELEPSA. THe project
consists of electricity generation in two hydroelectric plants.
Objectives of the initiative
To generate electricity using renewable energy in the form of water retained in reservoirs.
To improve the water supply through the controlled release of water during the dry season
in the Cañete Valley.
Installed capacity of renewable
energy
The “El Platanal” hydroelectric power station will make use of water in the basin of the River
Cañete to generate approximately 1000 GWh/year and an estimated 210 MW of power.
Forecast reduction in
nonrenewable energy sources
Approximately 5% for thermal energy.
Amount invested in developing
the project
The investment is around 220 million dollars.

Sustainability Report 2007
Renewable energy initiative
Efficient use of water
Water is the renewable resource used by Cementos Lima
for its production process, irrigation of parks and gardens
and for supplying its offices and camp. This water comes
from an underground source and is drawn from two wells
in “Las Palmas” in the Lurin basin, 5.0 Km from the plant.
The water is pumped to storage tanks on Cerro La Cruz
and Tanque Puquio.
Cementos Lima considers this to be an important resource for its activities given that without it flue gases
could not be treated to improve particle retention in the
sleeve and electrostatic filters; it is also used in a closed
circuit to cool the plant and machinery. Water is also
required to maintain more than thirty hectares of parks
and gardens, in the fire fighting system and for sanitary
purposes in the offices and camp.
Water for domestic use is treated beforehand in chlorinators and water for industrial use is treated using softeners and reverse osmosis. Industrial water operates in a
recirculation system to optimise its use; this water cools
the mill bearings, press bearings and kiln rollers, among
other items. For this reason no effluent is created from
the industrial water.
1. Initiatives for reducing fresh water consumption
• Implementation of a waste water treatment plant
which will treat 18 000 m3 monthly to be reused
for irrigating parks and gardens and in the fire
fighting system and industrial process (optional);
Approximately US$ 800 000.00 has been invested in
this project.
• Increase in the clinker and cement production capacity of Line 1 will reduce industrial water consumption by that line as the gas scrubbing system
will then only require 17 144 m3 a month; the total
investment in this project is approximately 120 million dollars.
2. Final destination of water employed
in the production process
At present this water is discharged into the drainage
network for later treatment in oxidation lagoons located in Jose Galvez, Villa Maria del Triunfo, belonging to
Messrs SEDAPAL.

Challenges for 2008
The challenges for 2008 are principally to satisfy our clients with high quality
products at a low price, in an expanding market in which we compete against
Peruvian and foreign companies, importing cement at dumping price levels
and selling it in our area of influence.
To supply the local and export markets and, at the same time, pursue our
programmes for growth in Peru and abroad, such as the modernization and
expansion of the production capacity of the Atocongo plant by 1,2 million
tons and completion of the plant in Arizona, USA.
Equally, we seek to deepen our commitment to corporate social responsibility.
Furthermore, from a social and environmental point of view, our aim is to continue strengthening the skills and abilities of communities and improving the
results of our projects involved in the fight against poverty: education, culture,
infrastructure, health and nutrition. As far as the environmental dimension is
concerned, we will continue to help to mitigate global warming and climate
change, improving our processes and productivity and our use of natural resources.
