For two EPDs to be comparable, they shall be based on the same PCR (including the same first-digit version number) or be based on fully aligned PCRs or versions of PCRs; cover products with identical functions, technical performances and use (e.g. identical declared/functional units); have identical scope in terms of included life-cycle stages (unless the excluded life-cycle stage is demonstrated to be insignificant); apply identical impact assessment methods (including the same version of characterisation factors); and be valid at the time of comparison.
Ownership
The EPD Owner has the sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD.

Description of the organisation of the EPD Owner
Established in 1925, Nesher Israel Cement Enterprises Ltd is Israel’s sole cement manufacturer and one of its most veteran private companies. Nesher operates under the parent company Mashav, which is owned by Clal Industries of the Access Industries group. The vision that guides us at Nesher is based on two areas that are sometimes seen as contradictory but, in practice, can and should complement each other: • In the field of cement - to be a fair manufacturer of high-quality Israeli cement, which guarantees the independence, availability and continuity of a critical resource. • In the field of sustainability - to be a leader in providing ecological solutions to the waste landfilling crisis in Israel. Nesher's Ramla plant utilizes advanced production technologies and is equipped with BAT (Best Available Technology) control devices to minimize emissions and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Nesher holds the prestigious Diamond Mark from the Standards Institution of Israel, placing the company among a select group of organizations that meet this high-level recognition. Most of its products also carry the Israeli Green Label. The Diamond Mark was awarded to Nesher for complying with eight key quality standards: Environmental Management (ISO 14001), Energy Management (ISO 50001), Information Security (ISO 27001), Traffic Safety (ISO 9301), Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 45001), Quality Management (ISO 9001), as well as the Israeli Standard Mark and the Green Label. All of Nesher's cements (except for CEM-I cement) carry the Israeli Green Label, and more than 90% of the cement sold by Nesher is labeled as green cement. During 2025 Nesher introduced a new low-clinker bag cement (CEM II 32.5 R/B-LL), developed with the mindset of further reducing the carbon footprint of our products and providing our clients with another low-carbon product.

| Technical purpose of product | • Plastering and finishing works • Affixing blocks and tiles • Casting of architectural concrete • Controlled Low Strength Material |
| Manufacturing or service provision description | Cement is the product of heating a mixture containing mainly limestone and clay to very high temperatures in which clinker is formed, and then mixing the clinker with additional materials (gypsum, limestone and more) and grinding it into a fine powder. The limestone is quarried from the plant's quarry, located about three kilometers from the plant. The limestone is transported by a conveyor belt to the plant, where it is mixed with clay to obtain a uniform mixture, which is important for the stability of the production process and the uniformity of the final product. Nesher's Ramla plant utilizes a dry production process, in which no water is used for the mixing of raw material, resulting in a reduced energy consumption. The raw materials mixture are then grinded to a fine powder, combined with additional materials, whose purpose is to achieve precision of the chemical composition required for the production process. After grinding, the raw materials are fed to the kiln through preheating towers, where residual energy from the production process is used to heat them. At the high temperatures in the kiln (about 1600 degrees Celsius), the raw mixture turns into a new material called clinker, which gives the cement and concrete their strength since it hardens when it comes in contact with water. We increasingly use alternative (waste-based) fuels in the clinker production process, thereby replacing some of the fossil fuels. The clinker is mixed with additional materials (gypsum, limestone, coal ash and others, depending on the type of cement produced) and grinded into a fine powder. Most of the cement is stored in silos and distributed in bulk form, with the remainder distributed in 25kg bags. |

| Technology description including background system | According to the Cement PCR, the life cycle analysis to be presented in the EPD is a cradle to gate analysis. Therefore, this EPD includes the analysis of the upstream processes (A1 & A2) and the core process (A3). The upstream processes include extraction and processing of raw materials, primary fuels used and transportation to the facility. The core process includes all cement manufacturing processes at the manufacturing facility itself. More than 99% of the materials have been included in the LCA. No cut-off criteria were used because all emissions sources were accounted for. In addition, and in accordance to the cement PCR instructions, the environmental impacts of treatment or disposal of waste generated from the manufacturing of cement were accounted for up to the end-of waste state. |
| Scrap (recycled material) inputs contribution level | Less than 10% of the GWP-GHG results in modules A1-A3 come from scrap inputs |

Additional environmental information
Nesher utilizes alternative fuels, currently up to 30% of the thermal energy consumption. A multi-year plant upgrade plan will enable generating approximately 80% of thermal energy from alternative fuels.
Most of the plant's electricity consumption comes from a natural gas fired power plant, owned by Nesher's parent company and located at the entrance to the plant.
Nesher also makes extensive use of alternative raw materials to minimize the use of depletable natural resources.
