Social Outcomes

Concrete remains essential for improving our communities and quality of life. Our new social outcome framework sets out how we can deliver positive outcomes.​

Our goal is to build positive outcomes to improve lives through our activities, and use concrete to create a safe, comfortable, and healthy built environment. The updated UK Concrete Sustainability Strategy aims to raise the bar in our approach to social outcomes for the concrete industry and its supply chain. We have codeveloped a social action framework that demonstrates the short- and long-term social outcomes of our sector and will guide our social value actions. ​

The four themes of the framework set a strategic direction for the UK concrete sector. The framework reflects the existing and future opportunities to develop a roadmap and metrics to demonstrate performance. MPA UK Concrete aims to deliver further positive social outcomes by continuing to develop sector capabilities through collaboration, sharing best practice, CPDs, and engagement with relevant groups of stakeholders and the value chain. ​

UK Concrete will provide best practice guidance to improve the standard of social outcomes. We will communicate and report on our progress based on the framework. The UK Concrete social outcome framework is aligned with the MPA Charter and its aspiration regarding health and safety reflected in MPA's Vision Zero . This treats the health and safety of employees, contractors, and visitors as the number one priority. ​
