- our sustainability priorities
Sustainability is essential for the prosperity and well-being of society, our customers, the communities in which we operate and the long-term success of our business.
The world is changing, and it is widely recognised by UK Government and the construction sector that environmental and social considerations will transform our future - what we build, what we build it with and how we build it.
As a leader in the UK construction sector, Tarmac recognises the important role we have in enabling the transition to a sustainable, resilient built environment, the benefits this will bring to society and the opportunities for our business.
Our approach
Our approach to sustainability is at the centre of our business, embedded in everything we do.
To guide us on our journey, we established an External Sustainability Panel to provide expert advice. By working with the Panel and other stakeholders, we have identified the key sustainability priorities for our business. We have set ourselves challenging commitments which take us beyond incremental improvements to business transforming solutions.
We have a credible strategy to achieve these ambitious targets.
Our strategy emphasises the importance of adopting a whole life approach and embedding sustainability into everything we do. From the goods we purchase, our operations and logistics but also the performance of our products in use and their reuse and recycling at the end of their life.
