Creating Value by Reinventing the Way the World is Built

Sustainability is a strategic imperative for our business. Our vision is to develop solutions that build, connect and improve our world. We are continuously innovating to improve, and we are developing new technologies to address the changing needs of our customers, helping to make construction simpler, safer and more sustainable. We aim to grow in a way that creates sustainable financial and non-financial value for all our stakeholders and have a positive impact on the world around us.

Our Sustainability Framework identifies three hard-to-solve global challenges for the built environment and society: Water, Circularity and Decarbonization. CRH is well placed to provide the value-driven solutions needed to help solve these challenges and improve the quality of the world we live in.

We are taking action across our operations on all of the priorities set out in our Sustainability Framework and we are designing our products, services and solutions to help create a more sustainable built environment for our customers and society.
