Sustainable Development

Environment & Biodiversity

We are committed to mitigating the impacts that our plants, quarries, and logistics have on their surrounding communities. Toward this end, we have designed a set of global environmental initiatives to manage our impacts responsibly.

The global scientific consensus, drawing on research such as the Millennium Ecosystems Assessment and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Report, is that human activity is degrading the planet’s environmental health and its ability to sustain current and future generations of life.

Global drivers for ecosystem decline include human population growth, the need for improved living standards across the developing world, increased consumption of goods, and trade flows associated with that consumption. These factors are creating severe stress across global ecosystems, impacting atmospheric balance, water and land availability, and biodiversity. For example:

60 percent of ecosystems services—including water purification, medicinal supply from plants, crop pollination, and carbon sequestration—are already in decline,
Two-thirds of the world’s people will likely experience water stress by 2025,
Driven by land degradation and climate change, 11 percent of terrestrial species may be lost by 2050.
