Sustainability Report 2007 GETTING BETTER together with Peru Index 07 Message from the General Manager 08 Cementos Lima and the cement industry in Peru 14 Responsible company 20 Stakeholders 58 Index of contents of the Global Reporting Iniciative 67 Alliances and Participation 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. Eng. Carlos Ugás Director - General Manager Cementos Lima S.A. 01 Cementos Lima and the cement industry in Peru 10 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. Cementos Lima 11 The mission and vision of Cementos Lima Using the company’s mission and vision the shareholders report to us their views on development and management. MisSIOn To satisfy our clients by providing products and services of high quality at competitive prices, protecting its rights as a business within the law and creating value for shareholders, employees and the company in general. 12 Sustainability Report 2007 VisiOn To be always a leading organisation in the national market and to achieve a competitive position at world level. ■ ■ ■ 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: ■ ■ Deposito Aduanero Conchan S.A., (99% owned) Generación Electrica Atocongo S.A. - GEA (100% owned) Inversiones en Concreto y Afines / Unicon (73.52% owned) Compañia Electrica El Platanal S.A. (60% owned) Skanon Investments Inc./ Drake Cement LLC (78.74% 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 Net sales in 2007 Indicator 864,140 (thousands of Soles) Percentage of sales in the domestic market 87.16% Percentage of sales in the international market 12.84% 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 Cementos Lima 13 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. 02 A responsible company 16 Sustainability Report 2007 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. 03 Stakeholders Shareholders Collaborators Clients Suppliers The community The environment Government and society 22 Sustainability Report 2007 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. The following chart identifies and systematises our principal interest groups: Cementos Lima 23 More projects in alliance, with the public and private sectors, civil society and international aid.

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. ■ Cementos Lima 39 Reading Comprehension Programme Rural and Urban This programme addresses the level of reading comprehension in primary schoolchildren, through the application of innovative reading strategies, participatory techniques, analysis of current affairs, among others, in public schools in the district of Villa Maria del Triunfo and rural communities in the district of Pachacamac. The benefits accrue to 8,027 students, 215 teachers and eleven schools. 40 Sustainability Report 2007 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. 44 Sustainability Report 2007 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. Cementos Lima 45 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. 46 Sustainability Report 2007 Donations Donations are made in accordance with the following criteria: ■ All applications for donations are evaluated to ensure that: • They benefit the community; as far as possible they are supported by a project. • They benefit an organisation with a specific aim: the fight against cancer, disabled persons, adolescent mothers, workplace skills, community health, etc. ■ All applications are answered by post. The answers may be: • Positive or negative. •Request for further information. ■ Donations are handed over directly to the beneficiary and not to intermediaries. D. Clients Part of the growth of our business is the result of our relationships with our clients, who form part of Cementos Lima’s business plans as members of its value chain. At Cementos Lima our aim is that our relationship with our clients is one of confidence, for which we have ISO 9001 as a tool that enables us to provide a quality service to international standards. During 2007 Cementos Lima, aware of the importance of its relationship with its clients, promoted a programme called “Our Friends the Ironmongers”, the aim of which is to increase the degree of professionalism in the ironmon- Cementos Lima 47 An increasingly confident relationship with our clients, promoting their professional development in the market. gery market. We also fitted out a bus as a mobile workshop in order to strengthen the skill of people involved in the construction industry. Market distribution Principal clients Market CEMENT Segment Segment Percentage of participation with relation to net sales Distributors 80.94% Public sector 0.31% Concrete makers Others 17.90% 0.35% Exports During 2007, the company’s exports, expressed in United States dollars, grew by 10.1% and for the seventh year running we were Peru’s leading exporter in the nonmetallic mining sector. The total figure, which reached US$ 35’021,216, constituted 21.4% of the exports of that sector. The destinations for our exports diversified this year: our products were dispatched to six different countries, principal among them being the United States of America, accounting for 43.8%, followed by Panama with 31.8%. The exports for country of destiny appear later: Ecuador: 12%, Panama: 32%, Argentina: 4%, Chile: 4%, E.E.U.U.: 44%, Dominican Republic: 4%. 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. Number of suppliers Share of purchasers by Cementos Lima Peruvian suppliers 2500 42.72% Foreign suppliers 243 57.28% Type of supplier 48 Sustainability Report 2007 We are growing by promoting social project initiatives that generate sustainable and local development. 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. 50 Sustainability Report 2007 Cementos Lima 51 We are growing by promoting social, project initiatives that generate sustainable and local development. The reference values mentioned and the values of emissions by Cementos Lima during 2006 and 2007 are given below: Maximum permissible limits Parameters Country Regulations Kiln Particulate materials Peru S.D.

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. Cementos Lima 53 54 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.

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. 04 Global Reporting Initiative 60 Sustainability Report 2007 Index of contents of the Global Reporting Initiative 1 STRATEGY AND ANALYSIS 1.1 1.2 Declaration of the most senior person responsible for decisions in the organisation upon the relevance of sustainability for the organisation and its strategy Description the principal impacts, risks and opportunities 2 PROFILE OF THE Organisation 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.10 Name of the organisation Principal brands, products and/or services Operating structure of the organisation, including the principal divisions, operating units, associates and joint ventures Location of the organisation’s registered office Number of countries in which the organisation operates and countries in which it has significant activities, or which are specifically relevant to the sustainability aspects discussed in the report Type of ownership and legal status Markets served Dimensions of the reporting organisation Significant changes during the period covered by the report in the size, structure and ownership of the organisation Awards and recognition received during the period covered by the report 3 PARAMETERS OF THE REPORT 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 2.8 2.9 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 Profile of the report Period covered by the information contained in the report Date of the previous report Periodicity of reporting Point of contact for questions relative to the report or its contents Scope and coverage of the report Process of defining the contents of the report Coverage of the report Indicate any limitations to the scope or coverage of the report Basis for including information on joint ventures, associates, leased installations, subcontracting and other entities that could have a significant effect on comparisons between periods and/or between organisations Techniques for measuring data and basis for calculation, including hypotheses and underlying estimating techniques applied to the compilation of indicators and other information contained in the report Global Compact Pages of the Sustainability Report 7 7, 10 – 11, 57 10, 13 10 16 – 19, 26, 29 – 30 10 12 12 12 12 – 13 N.R.
