Tarmac launches 2015 Sustainability Report

Tarmac has launched its 2015 Sustainability Report, which highlights the significant progress being made by the company against its sustainability framework commitments and targets.

This is the first report since Tarmac became part of CRH plc in august 2015 and sets out how the company is supporting a Group-wide vision that creates value for all stakeholders in a consistent, sustainable and responsible way.

We remain committed to prioritising sustainability as a core element of our business performance and, through this, deliver direct benefits to customers, communities and stakeholders. With customers in particular, we are continuing to champion collaborative working and the importance of whole-life performance of materials to deliver a more sustainable built environment, and drive continual improvements in industry standards.”
