The Concrete Industry’s Vision for a Sustainable Future Concrete Industry Joint Sustainability Initiative

Concrete How would we live without it? #1 man-made material consumed by humanity #2 material consumed by humanity (after water)

We’re all on the same boat The image of any one company cannot stay higher than that of its industry segment The image of any one industry segment cannot stay higher than that of the industry as a whole

RegulatoryTechnical Marketing Sustainable Development All sustainability dimensions are important

Sustainable development: Our greatest challenge & opportunity Industry-wide issue Important how outside world views us Today many different faces and messages Need one ‘face to the world’ and common messages Pool resources to back-up messages An unprecedented level of Industry segment collaboration required

ONE sustainable face to the world Sum of the Supply Chain Segments Rock + Cement + Cementitious + Additives + Production + A&E + Construction = Concrete Structures All vertical & horizontal applications and concrete products

Reframe the issue From: CO 2 footprint of cement To: Lifecycle Eco-footprint of concrete structures

Agenda is even broader Lifecycle eco-footprint is subset of the social value of concrete structures

Take holistic view of industry.

“Concrete structures provide great value to society” We believe it …but does the world know?

How world is being steered to view us

How we view ourselves

Shift the talking from ourselves to those outside Decision makers Policymakers Users/public

Why a Joint Sustainability Initiative? Develop common Industry identity (One face to the world) Develop common vision of industry sustainability Pool resources and minimize duplication Back-up sustainability messages with facts Coordinate communication of outside messages

Joint declaration of industry vision for a sustainable future Constitutes charter document of the Joint Sustainability Initiative Contains 9 declarations Lists 8 social values of concrete structures 24 industry associations have currently signed, with more to come

Declaration #1: “Concrete structures are the core of our industry identity that include all vertical and horizontal applications and concrete products” Move away from thinking and acting as fragmented segments Concrete structures are the visible end- result of our industry supply chain

Declaration #2: “Concrete Structures are at the center of an integrated approach to addressing industry challenges” Historic fragmentation has led us to overemphasize component thinking as opposed to system thinking Component-based solutions are sub- optimal compared to system solutions

Declaration #3: “Proactively communicate and continuously enhance the social value of concrete structures” Due to our long history, we take for granted that society acknowledges the value of what we do We cannot rest on that assumption We often neglect or understate our value

Declaration #4: “Our integrated thinking will focus on the following social values provided by concrete structures” 1.Resource efficiency 2.Safety/protection 3.Financial responsibility 4.Operational continuity 5.Longevity/durability 6.Byproducts reduction 7.Esthetics 8.Societal connectivity (more on this later)

Declaration #5: “Review priorities and activities, coordinate to align respective programs and projects, and leverage on the particular strengths and expertise of each organization to pursue an integrated focus on concrete structures” Use our limited Industry resources in the most effective way Eliminate duplication, cross-purpose and gaps in our actions

Declaration #6: “Persistently drive continuous improvement at component and integrated levels to enhance the social value of concrete structures” Industry has consistently pursued continuous improvement Historically this has been evolutionary and component-based Integrated system improvements will require enhanced segment collaboration

Declaration #7: “Provide advocacy, technical and educational resources to enhance the use and convey the benefits of concrete structures to others” To benefit from using concrete structures, all stakeholders must be informed Common messages adapted to every audience

Declaration #8: “Time is of the essence; pursue mechanisms and approaches that may diverge from business-as-usual for expedited results” This thinking and corresponding action are long overdue Pressing challenges require we catch- up quickly

Declaration #9: “Maintain open channels to welcome, involve and engage all Industry segments in becoming part of this direction” Engage and embrace input from all segments to adopt this thinking throughout our Industry Original 3 organizations quickly grew to 6, and then to 24, with more to come

8 social values of concrete structures These are the real reasons we exist as an Industry Our future prosperity depends on delivering, enhancing and communicating these social values Behind every challenge is opportunity

Value #1: Resource Efficiency Concrete structures over their lifecycle are efficient users of energy, water, land and other resources We need to consolidate and develop more supporting facts to back this up, particularly for energy and water

Value #2: Safety / Protection Concrete structures provide a superior level of user safety, protection and peace of mind Disaster resistance is commonly accepted but usually understated

Value #3: Financial Responsibility Concrete structures provide economic advantage both from a total cost of ownership perspective and from greater local content benefit to communities Economic benefit requires multi-year view

Value #4: Operational Continuity Concrete structures offer greater disaster resistance, protecting essential community services and business continuity Commonly accepted but usually understated

Value #5: Longevity/Durability Concrete structures outlast the useful lives of other structures with minimal maintenance and repair Commonly accepted but usually understated

Value #6: Byproducts Reduction Concrete structures over their lifecycle produce a reduced level of byproducts (including CO 2 ), use the byproducts of other activities and can ultimately be recycled themselves We need to consolidate and develop more supporting facts to back up environmental friendliness

Value #7: Esthetics Concrete structures can be designed to create aesthetic quality for both users and their surroundings Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but effective messaging sets a standard

Value #8: Societal Connectivity Concrete structures provide the essential links (roads, bridges, ports, utility infrastructure etc) that enable society to function safely and efficiently, and prosper financially Commonly accepted but usually forgotten

Current Joint Sustainability Initiative actions Develop and deliver alignment/call-to-action presentation for within our Industry (you’re looking at it!) Association collaboration to compile and unify industry sustainability messages Compile/organize supporting facts to back up social values, identify related programs and gaps

Current actions (continued) ACI to initiate development of 2 sustainable construction publications which could lead to more rapid code evolution PCA/NRMCA to share industry-wide imaging/ branding survey and recommendations Communication/engagement with additional Industry associations

A new way of thinking and acting Industry-wide image and critical mass The sticking power of repeating common messages Collaboration and resource effectiveness Outside the circle and box Fast track Both near and longer term strategies

Joint Sustainability Initiative Commitment ‘Each party commits its individual strengths, resources as appropriate and guidance towards this Vision, to pave the way for a sustainable future for those present and those who will follow, in advancing the potential of our Industry for the benefit of society’

The smell of success Decision makers: Recommend and prefer to specify concrete structures where possible Policymakers: Adopt policies that recognize the value of concrete structures to society and preserve the vitality of domestic supply chain sources Users/Public: Like to live and work in and around concrete structures and readily express and act on their preference All: Have a positive/’feel good’ image of our Industry

Commitment at many levels will drive success Industry Association Company You!
