ACC Environmental Policy
Sustainable Development is the foundation of ACC’s environmental policy to contribute to building a better, greener world.
Environmental commitment aims at doing less harm by mitigating negative operational impacts and saving energy by operating our facilities in compliance with local laws, standards, and regulations. We apply state-of-the-art environmentally friendly technologies to reduce CO2 quantities and are committed to the Ministry of Environmental Affairs regulations and controls including installation of measuring instruments on all our chimneys connected to the National Environmental Control Network which enables the on line monitoring of the emissions to comply with environmental law limits.
We conduct environmental audits for all facilities on a routine schedule to work environment and ambient air. We also continuously develop rehabilitation plans for all quarry sites that takes account of the needs and expectations of our stakeholders and, where feasible, fosters wildlife habitat creation and contributes to the conservation of endangered species.
ACC implements sustainability and product stewardship practices in the design, manufacturing, distribution, and application of our products. This enhances their contribution to sustainable construction, minimizes their impact on human health and the environment, and reduces the waste produced by operations and uses the waste in the alternative fuel system, in addition to reusing our own byproducts and these of other industries and promoting recycling.
ACC seeks to maximize the use of renewable resources. This could be achieved by using alternative raw materials and alternative fuels.
ACC promotes environmentally responsible attitudes and behaviors by continuously managing and integrating the environmental management system into our business processes with clear responsibilities. We encourage suppliers, customers and other business associates to adopt similar practices. We are aware of the need to work closely with our contractors and suppliers, and encourage all stakeholders to communicate any concerns they may have regarding environmental issues.
ACC is committed to providing training and applying industry best practices to support the understanding of our responsibilities to operate in an environmentally responsible manner and to achieve a high standard of environmental commitment.
