For a number of years, I have provided expert environmental advice to the Cement Sustainability Initiative of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) on key issues, including: the creation of sector-wide guidelines on Quarry Rehabilitation in 2011, Biodiversity Management Plans (BMPs) in 2014, and Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) in 2016, as well as; the development of a Sustainable Certification Scheme for the concrete and cement sectors in 2017. Some of this expert advice has been provided as part of my wider work with both WWF International and Lafarge. In addition, some of this input has also been provided as an independent environmental expert.
