Responsible Business
Part of a Better Future
At Irish Cement, sustainability means protecting the environment, supporting our people and communities, and upholding responsible business practices. These initiatives also create long term value by improving operational performance and strengthening resilience.
Irish Cement has identified four environmental focus areas that underpin our sustainability strategy: Water, Circularity, Decarbonisation, and the Natural World. These priorities are supported by strong foundations that enable thriving people and communities while upholding responsible business practices.
Responsible Sourcing Policy
Irish Cement is committed to providing cement products for use in construction which are sustainable. We have developed a Responsible Sourcing Policy in accordance with the requirements of the BRE Environmental and Sustainability Standard BES 6001.
The BES6001 standard requires that measurable and verifiable performance improvements under all three of the pillars of sustainability (Environmental, Societal, and Economic).
The BES6001 standard has been prepared by BRE to provide a framework for the assessment of responsible sourcing and to give a route to certification of construction products, including our CEM I and CEM II products.
