Lehigh Hanson, Inc., a member of the HeidelbergCement Group, successfully achieved Concrete Sustainability Council (CSC) certification for its Cadman ready mixed concrete (RMC) plants in Seattle and Bellevue, Washington and for its Hanson Aggregates River Ranch and 67th Avenue RMC plants, both located in the Phoenix, Arizona, Metropolitan Area.
Lehigh Hanson is the first RMC producer in the U.S. to achieve CSC certification at the Silver level.
“We recently implemented several energy savings measures to further reduce our CO2 emissions and we are also committed to transparently communicating our CO2 footprint via Environmental Product Declarations. These measures are important for achieving our CSC scoring” says Greg Ronczka, Vice President Environment & Sustainability at Lehigh Hanson. “Our successful engagement in CSC certification highlights our commitment to sustainability”.
“With CSC certified concrete, we are enabling Green Building developers to score in the newly created LEED Pilot credit Social Equity in the Supply Chain” confirms Lori Tiefenthaler, Senior Director of Marketing.
