FM Conway ESG Ratings Report 2021

Strategic Approach to ESG Issues

ESG considerations sit at the heart of what we do, as outlined in our Mission Statement, they have been central to much of our recent history and help shape our plans for the future.

FM Conway has a track record of championing ‘greener’ building solutions. We have a comprehensive Sustainability Strategy and are already piloting zero carbon solutions with some of our customers. Additionally, we continually seek to utilise technology to save resources and work with customers to predict future maintenance needs, and therefore deal with issues at an early intervention stage saving resources, disruption, and cost. Our Track Record Includes: Thought Leadership - FM Conway has championed Recycled Asphalt Products (RAP) for many years, we look to be innovative in our approach and operate our own UKAS accredited Technology Centre. Surfacing materials containing 50% recycled material on the M25 and 85% recycled in the Queens District of Westminster are challenging conventional wisdom and providing more sustainable outcomes for our customers, while maintaining the highest of standards for road infrastructure. Our Drainage Water Treatment Plant was also a significant large-scale investment which remains a unique facility in the UK; allowing gully water to be used in the industrial cleaning of aggregate while simultaneously reducing wastewater sent as a hazardous waste to land fill, and significantly reducing the need for ‘fresh’ water required for the process. Recycling Aggregates – FM Conway has been recycling aggregates for the past 30 years, this industry leading approach was following the principles of the circular economy well before the term was coined. Sustainability Strategy - During 2019, we put a comprehensive 4-year Sustainability Strategy in place covering over 40 strategic targets with a related action plan linking key performance indicators to the appropriate person or team within the organisation. The strategy is multi-faceted, addressing issues important to the climate change agenda, to employees and their welfare, and to customers and suppliers. The strategy looks both to generate social value and link into the worldwide framework provided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Carbon Reduction Plan - As a central part of the Sustainability Strategy, our carbon reduction targets are also dealt with distinctly, recognising the importance of this agenda and drilling into every aspect of the business where carbon is produced and can therefore be reduced. At FM Conway we have publicly committed to being net zero carbon by 2045, five years ahead of the UK Government current target. Customer Solutions - In addition to the above, all of which ultimately provide solutions to customers and provide ESG value in FM Conway’s customer supply chain, Conway travel the extra mile to ‘find a better way’ examples of which include the observation and active monitoring of both road and drain conditions to pre-empt problems and provide early intervention. Keeping the road infrastructure up and running and in the case of drains and gullies, identifying potential flood risk before it happens, allowing for preventative work which lessens the likelihood of flooding and the expense of dealing with the aftermath of floods. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) Pilot - As part of our Carbon Reduction Plan the key area of fuel usage (accounting for 60% of the FM Conway carbon footprint) is being singled out for prioritisation and an HVO fuel trial is already underway in both plant and vehicles.
