BETTER World
PURPOSE:

Welcome from Martyn Coffey, CEO

We are a responsible business and we believe we can make a positive impact on the world around us - in the products we make, the way we treat our people, and the way we operate.

Introduction

What sustainability means to Marshalls

Our sustainability strategy is underpinned by the United Nations Global Compact's principles in the key areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti- corruption. These principles, alongside the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), continue to guide us. Our three core pillars - Better Workplace, Better World, Better Product - highlight our focus areas towards our purpose of creating better

net positive futures, whilst maintaining The Marshalls Way of doing the right things, for the right reasons, in the right way.

BETTER

Workplace

Welcome to our Sustainability Report 2022 where we share with you our highlights of the year and the progress we've made against our targets.

The world around us continues to change rapidly, but our approach to sustainability remains clear. We are a responsible business and we believe we can make a positive impact on the world around us

  • in the products we make, the way we treat our people, and the way we operate.

Being responsible is also about being transparent. Following our acquisition of Marley in 2022, we put in place a programme of work to integrate our businesses. As part of this integration we are recalculating our carbon footprint in order to update our carbon reduction targets. Marley has a very different energy profile to Marshalls, so it's crucial we do this work which will enable us to put in place targets that we can externally validate.

We are still committed to net zero and move forward with some exciting projects.

BETTER

Product

We were pleased to announce in 2022 that we were the first UK concrete manufacturer to use CarbonCure technology. This is part of our carbon sequestration programme - a really innovative way of injecting waste carbon into our concrete bricks.

There are also great opportunities in lowering the carbon footprints of our products and communicating their environmental credentials through EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations). We now have three externally verified EPDs for our concrete bricks, solar PV modules and through mix concrete block paving, with more to come in 2023.

I look forward to making real progress in 2023 and to sharing our journey with you.
