Our 2030 Planet Goals focus on operational improvements, products, innovation, and inspiring others to join us in addressing the critical climate issues of our time. As industry leaders, we always consider the long-term impact of our business on the health of our planet. These are our goals for the future.

Establish a material take back program supporting the commercialization of recycled asphalt shingles (RAS)

CARBON EMISSIONS REDUCTION

Reduce the intensity of our operational carbon emissions by improving energy efficiency, introducing renewable energy sources and exploring and/or innovating new technologies to capture or otherwise remove carbon from the environment.

2022 was an important year in our work to deliver against our 2030 Planet Goals. From continuing our recycled asphalt shingle work, to conducting sustainable operations assessments across all of our product category plants, to increasing the number of third-party disclosures and certifications and introducing an innovative initiative to address urban heat, our efforts in 2022 were foundational to delivering against our goals.
