At Vulcan, we believe environmental stewardship is fundamental to our business. We recognize that responsible, sustainable operations drive long-term positive impact for our environment and our communities. As an industry leader, we are committed to doing the right thing, the right way, at the right time. This means we operate our business with a focus on sustainability and a dedication to continuously improve ways to protect the environment.
Regulation compliance serves as our baseline. We strive to exceed federal, state and local environmental regulations through our Safety, Health and Environmental Stewardship Policy. This policy — and our overall environmental protection strategy — outlines ways in which we are working to reduce our carbon footprint, increase our energy efficiency, monitor water use, reduce waste and manage our land with biodiversity in mind.
All team members and contractors are expected to adhere to this policy, follow all applicable regulations and make decisions that align with our commitment to running more sustainable operations. To ensure compliance, we leverage the use of a digital platform to deliver a compliance framework for each facility. This tracking system is used to simplify permit and regulatory requirements into clear, easy-to-understand tasks for facility team members. Team members use the framework to conduct inspections, collect data and complete other required tasks in a comprehensive and timely manner.
All environmental stewardship initiatives, policies and programs are overseen by the Safety, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee of our Board. In addition, our Governance Committee oversees how environmental performance, management and reporting are incorporated into Vulcan’s larger ESG strategy.
