Hill & Smith PLC - Our Approach

Our Approach to Sustainability

Following our purpose of creating sustainable infrastructure and safe transport through innovation, we are committed to ensuring that our Sustainability strategy provides the foundation for the successful delivery of our Group strategy and business model.

OUR SUSTAINIBILITY PRIORITIES

Sustainability is a structural growth driver for our business - our products and services make infrastructure more sustainable and increase transport safety.

We have identified seven key priorities for our sustainability plans, across three key focus areas.

Our sustainability priorities were identified following a comprehensive materiality assessment carried out in 2021. We have maintained the same priorities for 2022 and 2023, however we will continue to review and adapt as our sustainability strategy evolves, and plan to conduct another materiality assessment in 2024.

The Sustainability Committee, led by our Group Head of Sustainability, Lucinda Farrington-Parker, works with our operating companies to create actionable plans with measurable near and medium term targets.

The Sustainability Committee also includes the Group CFO, our Group Presidents and a number of other Group employees who are driving our sustainability strategy forward. The Committee reports to the Board on a six-monthly basis, providing updates on progress made against targets.
