Annual Performance Reporting

In 2008, the UK concrete industry committed to the Concrete Industry Sustainable Construction Strategy. This commitment was made by manufacturers and sector associations from the aggregate, cement, GGBS, fly ash, admixtures, ready-mixed and precast concrete sectors, with support from the industry body, MPA The Concrete Centre.
 
Annual performance reports have been published for 12 years and are testament to achieving a common framework of industry-wide reporting and an ambition of continuous improvement. Communicating and educating our colleagues and customers was also a key strategic objective.

The strategy report covers:

• Biodiversity
• CO2 emissions
• Emissions excluding CO2
• Employment and Skills
• Energy Efficiency
• Environmental management
• Health and Safety
• Local community
• Resource efficiency
• Responsible sourcing
• Transport
• Quality and performance 
• Waste minimisation
• Water

As the UK construction industry’s approach to sustainability develops, the industry strategy needs to stay ahead of supply chain requirements. In 2012, the strategy was updated with targets to 2020 and beyond. This process is underway currently to provide goals to 2030.
