Aggregate Industries has been recognised for effective energy governance with a certification from BSI to ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems.

The company was awarded for demonstrating its company-wide commitment to energy efficiency, following on from the successful certification of its cement business, Lafarge Cement, in 2018.

The latest version of the standard offers organisations guidance on how to manage energy consumption and reduce usage. As part of Aggregate Industries commitment to this, it set up a dedicated energy taskforce, overseen by the company's executive committee, which has specific monitoring and performance targets.


Chief Executive Officer at Aggregate Industries UK, Guy Edwards welcomed the achievement and reiterated that sustainability is at the heart of everything the company does.

Mr Edwards commented: "In order to do this, we will continue to maximise our energy efficiencies, as well as offer a wide choice of sustainable products and services designed to help our customers lower CO2 emissions released over the whole life-cycle of a project."

Carla Whyte, Key Accounts Proposition Manager EMEA at BSI, added: "Aggregate Industries has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability and the environmental benefits certification to the Energy Management standard brings. Additional business benefits include; compliance with legislation and a reduction in cost, waste and risk. The team should be delighted that this certification has been achieved."
