Good Neighbours
Canadian cement manufacturers understand that their operations have the potential to affect the communities in which they operate.
They take care to be responsible about:
- Social impacts - community well-being, public health and safety, access to public services and landscape aesthetics
- Occupational health and safety of workers and contractors
- Environmental impacts - especially from land use and quarrying, dust, noise, effluent, and traffic
Canada's cement manufacturers address their responsibilities to their communities by:
- Placing an absolute priority on ensuring a safe and healthy workplace for employees and contractors
- Avoiding and mitigating local impacts
- Engaging stakeholders in formal processes to receive, consideri and respond to their concerns
- Making important financial and in-kind contributions to sustain community well-being, beyond the plant gate
