Lafarge 7th in 'green league'

725 Lafarge has ranked seventh in the UK’s first-ever league table of ‘green’ organisations, which features more than 2,000 businesses, agencies, hospitals and government units, and which aims to show what progress is being made to cut carbon.

Published by the 3625 UK Environment Agency from information supplied to its CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, the table is expected to act as a baseline for future years which will also show overall CO2 emissions.

Lafarge Aggregates & Concrete UK, (LACUK), which has a head office in Syston, Leicester, says it is the highest listed of the large national building materials suppliers with multiple sites across the UK.

Miles Dobson, LACUK head of manufacturing, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have ranked so highly on this very first league table of the Carbon Reduction Commitment scheme.

“For Lafarge to be the top ranked multi-site, national construction materials supplier makes us all feel very proud and is a testament of our drive to constantly improve our sustainability.”
