Our vision for the future
The strategy represents progression, continuous improvement and
an increase in scope.
The concrete industry will continue to develop performance
indicators to ensure the relevance of our metrics. New targets for
performance improvement will be set including:
- 90% reduction in waste to landfill by 2020 (from 2008
baseline)
- 30% reduction in CO2 emissions from concrete production by 2020
(from 1990 baseline)
- 95% of production certified to responsible sourcing standard
BES 6001 by 2020
- 100% of relevant production sites with action plans for site
stewardship and biodiversity
The industry will facilitate further engagement with the broader
supply chain for concrete, offering the opportunity to inform
development of the strategy and supporting initiatives.
Collectively as an industry - and individually as manufacturers,
sector trade associations and MPA The Concrete Centre - we are
committed to supporting stakeholders in realising the potential,
and understanding the sustainability credentials, of concrete and
its constituents.
