Sustainability

We believe sustainability plays a key role in minimising operational risks, generating business opportunities and adding value for key stakeholders and society. To ensure our long-term success, we must deal responsibly with the environment, customers, business partners, employees and local neighbours.

Our reports on our sustainability work covers more aspects than these pages. Please refer to them for detailed information from each company. You'll fiind the reports in the menu to the left.

As cities expand they grow closer to our plants, quarries, depots and ports, why residents may increasingly be disturbed by our operations. In some places our quarries also conflict with sensitive ecosystems. We are aware of these issues and work actively to minimise negative impact of our operations. more ›
Qualified and committed employees are the backbone of our organisation and a key success factor in an increasingly globalised economy. Offering a safe and rewarding work environment is at the core of our commitment to being a responsible employer. We therefore make ongoing efforts to further improve our already high standards. more ›
