Metrics & reporting

Our goal is the continuous improvement of the annual Concrete Industry Sustainability Performance reporting with relevant Performance Indicators. We acknowledge that sustainability is a dynamic process, not a fixed state to reach. Therefore, it is important that we keep reviewing our strategy, methodologies, targets and keep measuring and reporting data.

The concrete sector has been reporting data and performance indicators since 2008, when the first Concrete Industry Sustainable Construction Strategy was published. Performance Indicators related to Climate Change and Energy, Natural Resources and Enhancing the Environment, Sustainable Consumption and Production and Creating Sustainable Communities have been published in the annual Concrete Industry Sustainability Report and past reports can be downloaded from www.sustainableconcrete.org.uk.​

We acknowledge that our sector directly or implicitly influences UN Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs). The effects of our work on SDGs indicators will be measured and quantified at the national level by the government. The UK Concrete Industry Sustainable Construction Strategy gives a direction and sets a path for the sector’s actions and reporting by 2030. We continue to develop and refine our metrics and reporting based on the new strategy and framework mentioned in previous sections: We will continue to develop performance indicators to ensure the relevance of our reporting and framework for data collection.

We will continuously review our data collection and disclosure including provision of sector EPDs. We will continue to provide guidance and best practice to members and stakeholder to ensure consistent reporting and benchmarking. We will continue to develop our annual reporting to reflect the needs of stakeholders and develop new metrics for stakeholder engagement requirements.​
