Our Sustainability Strategy

Read our Sustainability Strategy

This sustainability strategy, launched in 2021, sets out the third phase of our sustainability journey, covering the next 10 years and beyond. It builds on the significant progress we have made to date and our recognition of the challenges ahead.

Our strategy is founded on whole life thinking and pushing the boundaries to develop innovative solutions, which help our customers create sustainable buildings and infrastructure. Our strategy aims to ensure Tarmac continues to remain well positioned to meet sustainability challenges now and in the future and support our customers and communities to do the same.
This strategy builds on our previous achievements along our sustainability journey, prioritises the issues that are most important to our business and our stakeholders and defines our long-term commitments and goals under 3 key themes; People, Planet and Solutions.
We aim to embed sustainability into everything we do and our sustainability governance hierarchy helps us to do this. Tarmac’s Executive Committee is responsible for setting and delivering the strategy, with actions and programmes delegated to business units and functions. We undertake a formal annual review of our strategy working with our Sustainability Steering Group and External Sustainability Panel, to ensure its continuing appropriateness and high level of ambition.
This is our first report since launching our new 2030 sustainability strategy, confirming our priority areas of focus and stating new ambitious goals for Tarmac over the next ten years and beyond. This new strategy will also set out plans to tackle the climate emergency and our commitment for our business to be 'net zero' before 2050.

What’s important

Tarmac’s sustainability priorities have been identified through a materiality assessment aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines. Our material issues are also considered in the context of the wider impact on the value chain and how they contribute to other initiatives such as the UNs Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The materiality assessment aims to ensure that Tarmac has accurately and objectively identified the most important sustainability issues for the business and assess our ability to create value for stakeholders and wider society.
