Carbon and energy

To be recognised as a leading force in the delivery of a low carbon environment

Maximise energy and carbon efficiencies; deliver products with lower embodied carbon; support and meet national and European carbon reduction targets

Maintain ISO 50001 certification and improve energy efficiency and carbon reduction of our production plants and offices; increase the use of renewable energy and waste as fuel; reduce CO₂ emissions from transport by extending our in-house fleet to gain greater control and optimise distribution.

Reduce carbon emissions by 10 per cent and energy use by five per cent per tonne of product based on 2010 baseline; 35 per cent use of biofuel in cement by 2020; reduce transport emissions by five per cent per tonne based on 2010 baseline.
