Site Stewardship and Biodiversity
Performance indicator
Percentage of relevant production sites that have site
specific action plans
This indicator shows that the concrete industry is making good
progress in extending the coverage under its biodiversity action
plans and is on track to meet the 2012 target of 100 per cent.
Based on the data collected by MPA, the area of land restored in
2009 exceeded the area prepared for new extraction. Although the
recession and consequent reduction in demand for aggregates and
other minerals is likely to have had the effect of slowing up
development and restoration, high quality restoration of sites
remains an induistry priority.

indicator can be found in the full report.
