LCRIG have announced that Tarmac will be our official Sustainability Partner for 2025. This partnership builds on Tarmac’s longstanding membership with LCRIG and celebrates six years of collaboration, marking an exciting new chapter in the organisations’ relationship, focused on supporting local authorities in driving impactful progress in sustainability across the wider highways sector.
Emma Hines, Sustainability Director at Tarmac expressed her enthusiasm about the partnership: “We are proud to be LCRIG’s Sustainability Partner for 2025. At Tarmac, we recognise the important role we have in enabling the transition to a sustainable and resilient built environment.
“As one of the UK’s leading construction businesses, we have set ourselves challenging commitments. We also recognise the importance of partnership, collaborative working and supporting our local authority clients on their journey towards a more sustainable future. This means understanding their future requirements and providing the products and services that they will need. We are now working to develop a new generation of low carbon, biogenic and long-life asphalts. This technology will help our clients to reduce carbon footprints, capture carbon and significantly extend pavement life compared to current materials.”
Keely Metcalfe, Relationship Manager at LCRIG shared her excitement: “We’re delighted to be working in collaboration with Tarmac to help drive improvements in sustainability within the highways and transport technology sector. Our commitment to decarbonising the highways sector and facilitating positive change within the community and our members underpins everything that we do. This collaboration will help us to continue to make a difference to the sector.”
Following the publication of their latest Sustainability Report, which focuses on three core themes – People, Planet, and Solutions – Tarmac has demonstrated leadership in championing sustainability within the sector. Throughout the year, we will collaborate on a variety of initiatives, with Tarmac also playing a prominent role at our flagship events, including the LCRIG Innovation and Learning Festival and Strictly Highways.
