Sustainability framework
Why have we developed a Sustainability framework?
We have developed a new, comprehensive sustainability framework to help our development in four key areas:
We are using this framework to help us to evolve our sustainability performance and reporting structures.
Our Sustainability Framework
Our sustainability framework is the result of extensive internal and external consultation and benchmarking. It identifies priority issues for Tarmac, supports our drive for continual improvement and helps us to communicate our progress both internally and externally.
Within four main themes our Sustainability Framework identifies priority issues of most relevance to our Tarmac, customers, shareholders, employees and other interested parties.
| Sustainable Products | Climate Change | Natural resources and the environment | People and Communities |
|
Our business is founded on products that are essential for economic and social wellbeing, from creating the built environment and infrastructure around us, to important manufacturing processes and environmental protection. |
Climate change is a concern for the whole of society. As a major organisation, we are playing an active part in tackling the issue holistically, by managing our own carbon footprint.
|
We are committed to meeting the market demand for these essential materials in an efficient and sustainable way, responsibly managing the impacts of our operations on the environment and communities around us. |
Our business is connected in many different ways with many different people - from our neighbours, employees and contractors, our customers and suppliers, to regulators, policymakers and shareholders. |

We are using this framework to help us to evolve our sustainability performance and reporting structures and it is the basis for the Tarmac Sustainability report which can be found at www.tarmac.co.uk/sustainability.
