Concrete Industry Sustainable Construction Strategy
Concrete is our most widely used constrution material and is
essential for the sustainable development of our housing, schools,
hospitals, transport networks, energy infrastructure and our built
environment.
In 2008 the UK concrete industry agreed a Concrete Industry
Sustainable Construction Strategy. This pledge to sustainability
objectives was signed by trade associations and companies and
included the commitment to publish an annual report on the
sustainability performance of the industry.
The individual sectors and companies had already established
initiatives and reporting structures. The commitment to a
comprehensive industry strategy and report has required
coordination, and further development of sector and company
processes.
In March 2009 the industry published its first Concrete Industry Sustainability Performance
Report and marked the event with a launch to key
stakeholders.
In March 2010 the industry published its 2nd Report: 2008
performance data and release of 2012 performance targets.
