RICHMOND – On December 2, 2004 the Graymont Board of Directors approved a corporate Sustainable Growth strategy. Within Graymont, Sustainable Growth has been defined as “The ongoing profitable growth of our business, earned through operating in accordance with societal norms and expectations.” Graymont’s management team recognizes that we operate our business with the consent of the society in which we operate and that it is imperative for our shareholders that we preserve our “social license to operate”.
We will achieve Sustainable Growth through continuous performance improvement in the following areas:
- waste reduction,
- energy efficiency,
- environmental care,
- workplace environment,
- community relations.
Sustainable Growth is an evolutionary and not a revolutionary change for us. Graymont has always been environmentally and socially responsible, often in excess of minimum requirements. This strategy will enable Graymont to build on its strengths and remain a leader in the lime, limestone and construction products businesses.
