UK Concrete Annual Performance Reporting

The Concrete Industry Sustainable Construction Strategy was first launched in 2008 and featured targets to be met in 2012. In 2012 the strategy was updated with targets set for 2020. In 2023, the next iteration of the strategy which focuses on the sector’s journey to 2030 was published. This revision sets a new vision for the sector aligned with new priorities and sustainability considerations outlined in the UK Concrete Strategy Framework document and summarised in the commitments below:

Carbon
Progressing our UK Concrete and Cement Industry Roadmap to Beyond Net Zero, advancing carbon reduction plans and policies and developing the prerequisites by 2030 to fully decarbonise by 2050.

Circular Economy
Enabling greater circularity across the built environment using concrete and encouraging the retention of concrete's value throughout all stages of its life cycle.

Natural Environment
Developing solutions for a regenerative built environment, incorporate natural capital in decision making and deliver wider ecosystem benefits such as biodiversity net gain.

Social outcomes
Building positive outcomes to improve lives through our activities, and use concrete to create a safe, comfortable and healthy built environment. 

Metrics
Continuous improvement of the annual Concrete Industry Sustainability Performance reporting with relevant  Performance Indicators.
