Delivering a Sustainable Future for All
Delivering a Sustainable Future for All
By positioning sustainability at the core of modern construction, we are supporting the delivery of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We have embedded sustainability at the heart of our business strategy, culture and construction solutions. This approach is fundamental to meeting the increasing demand for more sustainable building and infrastructure solutions and achieving our long-term business vision.
There are 17 SDGs, that together address the global challenges that society is now facing. While CRH supports all 17 goals, we have identified seven to which we believe we can make the biggest contribution. These seven SDGs are aligned with the three global challenges for the built environment – water, circularity and decarbonisation - alongside other sustainability priorities for our business.
We have a long history of setting and achieving ambitious sustainability targets that assist us in delivering long-term value and growth. These ambitions and targets reflect the areas and global trends across which we believe CRH can affect the most change and support global efforts such as the Paris Agreement and the SDGs.
