The company's site operations policy is based on a continuous improvement programme that drives progress in environmental performance, together with careful attention to stakeholders, notably within local consultation and oversight committees. In addition, a wide variety of strategies have been introduced to limit the impact of quarry operations and blend quarries into their natural environments.
These include:
> site rehabilitation, to give quarries a new lease on life by fostering broad biodiversity and contributing to the quality of local life;
> recovery and recycling of industrial by-products, to conserve natural resources;
> management of aggregate transport, including rail and barge transport, to limit pollution.
