Aggregate Industries

Aggregate Industries is supporting The Wildlife Trust’s role in the BBC Breathing Places campaign which aims to inspire millions of people to get involved with nature. A leader in the construction and building materials sector, Aggregate Industries has been awarded the British Standards Institution award for ‘Most Innovative Organisation’ in recognition of its commitment to environmental management across its UK operations.

Aggregate Industries’ support for The Wildlife Trusts is helping develop the Communities campaign for Breathing Places which encourages local people to transform thousands of places across the UK for the benefit of wildlife and people.

In recognition of the importance that biodiversity has to play in their UK environmental programme, they published a Biodiversity Policy in 2005 to sit alongside the Group Environmental Policy and so focus attention on this key sustainability issue. They were also the first in their sector to publish a Biodiversity Action Plan in 2002 through the Leicestershire Wildlife Trust consultancy. They will publish a new company BAP in 2007. Their commitment to The Trusts’ Biodiversity Benchmark is evident and their site at Little Paxton, near St Neots in Cambridgeshire will be the first of their sites to undergo the rigorous audit demanded by the scheme.
