The Copper Industry & Sustainable Develop.
- 铜和铜工业正在对人类许多最关键的问题产生积极影响，如能源效率/安全、减缓气候变化、公共卫生、食品供应、绿色建筑等。
- 每年，铜业向国际铜业协会的项目投资5000万美元，将铜和铜业与可持续发展联系起来。
- 国际铜业协会的项目为其成员提供了铜业致力于应对全球可持续发展挑战的证据。
可持续发展指标
- 平均而言，铜业。
- 为30多万人提供就业机会
- 每年投资3亿美元以保护其员工的安全
- 每年为全球经济提供1200亿美元，包括作为税收支付给政府的150亿美元
- 每年投资200-300亿美元，使其业务更具可持续性
- 排放约占世界年度二氧化碳总排放量的0.15%（约350亿吨二氧化碳）。
- 消耗约0.1%的世界年度最终能源消费总量（约3750亿GJ）。
- 每年回收20亿立方米的水
- 大多数ICA成员公布了可持续发展报告，并公开宣布他们致力于接受可持续发展的原则和目标。
- 22名ICA成员联合起来，从一个角度介绍了铜业正在进行的以更可持续方式发展和运营的努力。
- 新的ICA全球网站http://sustainablecopper.org，展示了该行业在一系列众所周知的可持续发展指标（如二氧化碳排放量、能源强度或受伤率）方面的表现的综合观点。
- 铜行业的行为是负责任的和透明的，不仅要报告其经济业绩，还要报告其社会和环境责任。
- 平均而言，铜业。
铜的回收
- 铜是可以无限循环利用的，而不会损失其任何独特的特性。
- 铜不会被消耗，永远不会被破坏，总是被恢复--它被反复使用和重新使用。
- 在1900年以来生产的5.5亿吨铜中，估计有三分之二仍在生产使用。
- 目前，全球人口平均每人使用50公斤的铜（使用/储存的铜总量-3.6亿除以世界人口-70亿）。富裕国家比发展中国家使用更多的铜，这是他们现代生活方式的结果。据估计，到2030年，全球中产阶级将从20亿人增加到50亿人。这个新的中产阶级的生活方式将依赖于铜。
- 每年有近三分之一的铜需求是通过回收来满足的。
- 与初级生产相比，铜的回收所需的能源最多可减少85%。在全世界范围内，这节省了4000万吨的二氧化碳（相当于1600万辆汽车的排放量）。
能源效率
- Copper is the best non-precious conductor of heat and electricity
- Only silver is a marginally better conductor, which as a precious metal cannot be used widely in conductive applications
- The products containing copper tend to operate more efficiently
- 70% of copper goes into electrical applications that benefit from its amazing energy efficiency
- Over its lifetime use, one tonne of copper in conductive applications will save users between $25,000 and $2.5 million dollars due to reduced energy consumption
- If the world’s governments would commit to minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) in six product categories (motors, distribution transformers, air conditioners, refrigerators, lighting, information technology) we could reduce global electricity consumption by 10% by 2030
- 能源效率--一个三层的价值主张。
- 减少消耗（增加电网/系统的可靠性安全）。
