日本のGX文脈において
日本のセメント業界にも応用可能なISO 14031に基づく環境パフォーマンス評価モデルを提示。ただしイラクの事例であり、日本のSSBJや有報との直接的な関連はない。日本の排出削減目標達成の参考にはなる。
In the global GX context
This paper offers a practical model for environmental performance assessment using ISO 14031, relevant to global cement industry. While it does not engage with TCFD/ISSB frameworks, it provides empirical evidence from an understudied region, contributing to the global knowledge base on industrial decarbonization.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a case study applying ISO 14031 to cement production, useful for comparative environmental performance research.
🏢実務担当者:Cement plant environmental managers can adopt the assessment framework and indicators for their own operations.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This paper aims to assess the environmental performance of the industrial sector, using the Kufa Cement Plant as a case study due to the tangible environmental impacts of this activity in the areas of gaseous and dust emissions, energy consumption, and waste management. It emphasizes the importance of adopting systematic assessment tools that align with sustainability frameworks and local and international regulations. This research employs a descriptive-analytical methodology, based on the theoretical framework for environmental performance assessment and the principles of environmental management, utilizing performance indicators derived from the international standard ISO 14031 to analyze the plant's operational and environmental data. The results showed a relative improvement in indicators for controlling solid pollutants, but revealed the persistence of significant challenges related to gaseous emissions and energy intensity. The study concluded that adopting integrated environmental management systems is a pivotal factor in improving performance and mitigating environmental impacts. It recommended investing in clean technologies, strengthening monitoring mechanisms, and integrating environmental considerations into management decision-making processes to ensure improved efficiency and support industrial sustainability. This work offers a valuable practical contribution by presenting a practical model based on international standards for assessing environmental performance in heavy industries within a local context.
