Company strengthens commitment to whole-life carbon management with internationally recognized specification
TARMAC has achieved certification to PAS 2080, the global standard for managing and reducing whole-life carbon in infrastructure and the built environment. This achievement demonstrates the heavy building materials supplier’s continued commitment to advancing carbon reduction strategies and supporting the transition to a net-zero carbon economy by 2050.
PAS 2080 provides a consistent framework for reducing carbon emissions across all stages of project delivery, from design to construction and throughout the asset’s life cycle. By adhering to this specification, Tarmac reinforce their commitment to driving sustainability through every link in the value chain, from suppliers to customers.
The PAS 2080 process promotes collaboration and governance across the industry, requiring organizations to maximize carbon reduction opportunities, establish clear carbon targets, and measure progress with key performance indicators (KPIs).
Emma Hines, sustainability director at Tarmac, said: ‘Achieving PAS 2080 certification is a testament to the dedication of everyone at Tarmac, as well as the strong partnerships we have built with our supply chain. This is a key step in our carbon reduction journey and underscores our leadership in supporting the construction industry’s shift to net zero. By embedding whole life carbon management into our operations, we’re not only reducing our environmental impact but also helping our customers and partners achieve their carbon targets.’
The certification process involved a comprehensive analysis, followed by rigorous audits across Tarmac’s operations, including engagement with key stakeholders, suppliers, and customers. The company demonstrated its ability to integrate carbon management into procurement, establish effective governance, and continuously improve its carbon performance.
PAS 2080 certification positions Tarmac as a driving force in the industry’s sustainability efforts. It ensures that carbon management is at the heart of the business’s operations and inspires best practices across the sector.
