As a business that is inherently local, we placet significant emphasis on developing and maintaining strong ties to the communities in which we operate. Aggregate Industries understands and accepts our responsibility to minimize the effect on those who live around us. We try, through our actions, to become a trusted and valued part of the communities we serve, supporting local schools, events and charities.
This is the case in many of our quarries around the US and although times have changed and many local people have never had a direct connection to the quarry, we remain committed to listening to and supporting our neighbors. We have a rich history of over 100 years of operations at our Swampscott Quarry in the Northeast Region, and we are continually reminded that a large part the community was created around the quarry.
A record number of visitors attend our Travilah Quarry Earth Day Celebration in Maryland. in 2008, which has establish a commitment to the local community for sixteen years. The quarry tours and hands-on exhibits helped guests to understand the safe, efficient process of producing crushed stone and its uses.
We endeavor to conduct similar community events across our US Regions which give us the opportunity to explain the work we are undertaking with some of our key stakeholders on both an operational and environmental level. |
