Sustainability

Aggregates and cement are long-lived, local businesses. Our reporting covers the things that decide whether a quarry is welcome in its community for the next fifty years: carbon intensity, water, land, and the safety of the people who work there.

Scope 1 & 2 carbon intensity: −24%; kg CO₂e per tonne of cementitious product, against a 2019 baseline
2030 reduction target: −40%; Carbon intensity, against the same 2019 baseline
Total recordable incident rate: 0.94; Per 200,000 hours worked
Land reclaimed to date: 4,180; Acres restored or repurposed

Figures as reported in the 2025 Sustainability Report. Metrics are not audited unless stated in that report.

How we report

Environment
Lower-carbon cement formulations, alternative fuels at both cement plants, water recirculation across the quarry network, and progressive reclamation with a bonded closure plan for every active site.
Safety and people
A single safety management system across all operations, near-miss reporting with no-fault escalation, craft apprenticeship programmes, and annual pay-equity review overseen by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee.
Governance and oversight
The Safety, Health and Environment Committee of the Board oversees environmental compliance, reclamation obligations, climate-related risk and sustainability reporting, and reports to the full Board at each regular meeting.
