1.4 Purpose of this Manual

Roadstone’s EMS Manual outlines the core values and strategy objectives, and requirements for an
environmental management system at the company. It focuses on the detailed requirements for its
content, implementation, management and review of the EMS at Roadstone Limited.

This Manual has been developed to demonstrate that this EMS meets the requirements under
Condition 2.2 of our Waste Licences as well as conditions in many of our Planning Permissions, and
provides guidance and direction for the implementation and operation of the EMS to all personnel
including all relevant documents.

2. Scope of EMS

A series of initiatives have been taken in the past to improve environmental issues identified
throughout Roadstone Ltd. In order to maintain and improve on the benefits of these initiatives the
company has implemented and maintains certification in accordance with the International Standard
ISO 14001. This International Standard specifies requirements for an environmental management
system (EMS), to enable an organization to formulate a policy and objectives, taking into account
legislative requirements and information about significant environmental impacts, interested and
affected parties, and the company’s internal processes. A copy of the ISO 14001:2015 standard and
certification is available on the Flex System.

Page 5 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

The scope of the EMS applies to the production, manufacture and supply of crushed rock, aggregates,
sand and gravel, agricultural lime, concrete blocks, Readymix concrete, mortar, architectural masonry,
bituminous mixtures and the supply of DIY products, as well as the importation of inert soils for
recovery, recycling of clay where permitted and C&D waste by Roadstone Ltd.

The EMS provides a mechanism for environmental management throughout all areas and
departments of the Company. The EMS applies to those environmental aspects (direct and indirect)
which the organisation can control and directly manage, and those over which it may be expected to
have an influence.

It should be noted that Roadstone Ltd has a separate Energy Management System in place which is
certified to ISO 50001. Therefore, energy is generally excluded from this EMS.

4. Context of the Organisation

4.1 Direction from CRH

Roadstone Ltd is a leading producer and supplier of construction material in Ireland and is part of the
CRH Group. CRH is committed to the highest standards of environmental management in all of our
activities and to proactively addressing the challenges and opportunities of climate change.

The CRH Environmental Policy, applied across all Group companies, is to:
• Comply, at a minimum, with all applicable environmental legislation and continually improve
our environmental stewardship towards industry best practice;
• Ensure that our employees and contractors respect their environmental responsibilities;
• Proactively address the challenges and opportunities of climate change;
• Optimise our use of energy and all resources;
• Promote environmentally-driven product and process innovation and new business
opportunities; and

Page 7 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

• Be good neighbours in every community in which we operate.

Environmental management
Company and plant managers throughout CRH are responsible for implementing the Environmental
Policy and achieving its objectives. This line responsibility continues right up through company
Managing Directors to Divisional Managing Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and ultimately to the
CRH Board. Our environmental management systems are well established and are regularly reviewed
taking into account industry best practice. Knowledge-sharing around the Group also plays an
important part in this process.

Environmental performance
CRH is committed to investing in a wide range of environmental improvements across all of its
activities and countries of operation. Plant upgrades typically include process yield optimisation,
increased recycling, waste reduction, energy efficiency and emission reduction. This sustained
investment program steadily moves us towards best industry practice in all those areas. Because of
the diversity of our businesses, most environmental targets are set at operating company level. In all
cases, our aim is to optimise environmental performance.

Environmentally-driven product innovation

In tandem with CRH’s commitment to act as a socially responsible corporate citizen, the Group views
the development of products that specifically benefit the environment, together with the
enhancement of existing products to improve their eco-efficiency, as a significant business
opportunity. Significant environmental and commercial benefits are also gained through recycling,
waste reduction and resource management as well as the use of alternative raw materials and
alternative fuels.

Climate change
CRH recognises that climate change is a major challenge facing humanity and is committed to playing
its part in developing practical solutions at national, regional and global level. Like other responsible
players in the building materials sector CRH is very actively addressing the challenges of climate
change through specific CO2 reduction programmes in its worldwide operations. CRH is a core
member of the Cement Sustainability Initiative (CSI) of the World Business Council for Sustainable
Development (WBCSD), and actively supports its pioneering work in developing and promoting
industry solutions. CRH has endorsed the World Business Council for Sustainable Development
(WBCSD) Low Carbon Technology Partnership Initiative (LCTPi), a statement of ambition, which seeks
a reduction in global cement CO2 emissions in the range of 20–25% by 2030.

In 2012, three years ahead of the target date, CRH achieved its commitment to reduce specific carbon
dioxide emissions from cement plants by 15% on 1990 levels. CRH further committed to a 33%
reduction in specific net CO2 cement plant emissions by 2030 compared with 1990 levels and its
strategic programmes have already delivered this commitment. The 2030 commitment covered
cement plants within the CRH Group at the beginning of 2013 and included facilities in Belgium,
Finland, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Switzerland and Ukraine.

In all our activities, increasing energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions remains a major focus.
CRH sees climate change and high energy costs as twin innovative driving forces of the future and we
recognise that the challenges of today can quickly become the opportunities of tomorrow.

6. Planning

6.1 Environmental Aspects

Roadstone Ltd has established and will maintain a procedure to identify the environmental aspects of
its activities, products and services that it can control and over which it can be expected to have an
influence, in order to determine those which may have significant impacts on the environment. The
aspects related to these significant impacts are then considered in setting the environmental
objectives and form the basis of the Environmental Management Programmes (EMPs).

An assessment was carried out for each environmental aspect to determine whether or not it has, or
can have, a significant impact on the environment for that location. Where an aspect has been
deemed to be causing, or have potential to cause, a significant impact, an improvement program is
required. All other aspects require controls to ensure that they are managed properly. The controls
and improvement programs are identified for each location. In all cases, consideration is given to
normal and abnormal operating conditions, shutdown and start-up conditions, maintenance
operations, current and planned activities within the organization, and to potential emergency
conditions.

Environmental aspects are reviewed on an ongoing basis but particularly at the end of each year, when
a full review of the effectiveness of the Environmental Management System is carried out. This is
documented in the form of an Annual Environmental Review Summary report for the Company itself.

These aspects, inclusive of those arising from works carried out by contractors, are documented in
EMS/04 Register of Aspects. The Register is reviewed and updated as required by the Planning
Department.

Page 12 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

The impacts of those aspects are then assessed using a risk-based approach, which is outlined in
EMS/05 Assessing Impacts Procedure. Scores are ranked to determine a significance rating factor, and
the results of this assessment are summarised in EMS/06 Summary of Assessments of Environmental
Aspects.

The table in Appendix C shows those aspects which are specifically relevant to Roadstone’s Mineral
Extraction and Processing Facilities and Inert Clay and C&D Waste Facilities, and the table in Appendix
D shows those aspects which were deemed significant (i.e. Top-rated aspects). Some significant
impacts could result from ancillary services provided to other facilities (i.e. Chemical / Fuel storage).

Reference to documentation:
• Register of Aspects (EMS/04)
• Procedure for Assessing the Environmental Impacts (EMS/05)
• Summary of Assessments of Environmental Aspects (EMS/06)
• Irish Concrete Federation Environmental Code
• Annual Environmental Review Summary report

Responsibility:
• The designated Environmental Officer is responsible for ensuring that the
environmental aspects are identified and appropriately assessed when setting up
the system initially, and also at the annual environmental reviews.

Resources required:
• The designated Environmental Officer, plus any external consultancy fees, including
baseline-monitoring costs.

6.2 Legal and Other Compliance Obligations

A review of legal and other requirements is performed on a regular basis to ensure the EMS is
managed in accordance with legislation and best practice. In order to identify and maintain access to
legal requirements that are relevant to the company, Roadstone Ltd subscribes to the Red-on-line
Legal Register (previously known as the Pegasus Legal Register), which is a global, online legal register
service supported by a team of subject matter experts. The Red-on-line team identify current relevant
legislation and regulations for Roadstone and generate a custom legal register for our locations. Red-
on-line’s specialist consultants interpret the legislation, determine its relevance and implications for
Roadstone and notify the Planning Department by weekly email.

Any changes in current legislation are also assessed by the Red-on-line team, and the company’s
Planning Department are notified of these using email alerts. Supporting documentation, including
government and industry codes of practice are included in the service. In addition, ICF, EPA and CRH
communications are also reviewed for alerts to potential changes to legislative requirements.

Furthermore, a register of Planning Permissions and Licenses is maintained by the Planning Officers.
When new planning permissions or licenses are granted, these are communicated to the relevant
Location manager and Environmental Officer (or Environmental management representative).

Page 13 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

Any newly identified compliance requirements are communicated to impacted areas and changes are
then made to operating procedures, monitoring matrices, audit checklists, and other relevant
documents to facilitate conforming practices, and any additional training that may be required.

Reference to documentation:
• Red-on-line Legal Register

of responsibility.

Resources required:
• The services of Red-on-line for providing updates on changes to legislation
• Environmental Officers
• Planning Officers

6.3 Objectives and Targets

Where an environmental aspect is deemed to be causing or have potential to cause a significant
environmental impact, then the Divisional Manager is responsible for ensuring environmental
objectives and targets for improvement are established and measurable where practical. These will
be set by consultation between the Location Manager / the relevant Environmental Officer and the
appropriate Divisional Manager. The process need not take place in all areas of the activity
simultaneously, and generally the targets are spread over a five-year period and should be measurable
where practical. The designated Environmental Officer keeps a master list of all the objectives and
targets.

The key strategic objectives of CRH and Roadstone Ltd are presented in Appendix E; and the
overarching objectives and targets for Roadstone Ltd are outlined in Appendix F of this manual.

Reference to documentation:
• Master List of Objectives and Targets

Responsibility:
• It is the responsibility of individual Location / Plant Managers to develop the
objectives and targets in conjunction with the senior management team and the
Environmental management representative.
• The Operations Manager has overall responsibility in this area.

Resources required:

Page 14 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

• The resources that are required for achieving the objectives and targets are
identified under the relevant environmental management improvement programs.

6.4 Environmental Management Programme(s)

Each Location Manager is responsible for establishing and maintaining Environmental Management
Programmes (EMPs) for achieving the objectives and targets set for their locations. The EMPs specify
the objectives to be achieved, the person responsible for attaining the objectives, the efficacy date
and progress monitoring towards successful achievement of the objectives.

In addition, each location manager is responsible for informing the relevant Environmental Officer of
any new activities that may cause an impact on the environment. The Environmental Officer is then
responsible for ensuring that an environmental review is carried out of this new activity and it is
brought into the EMPs where relevant.

As an example, the table in Appendix G details current improvements to be made to impacts at

Roadstone’s Midelton Quarry.

Reference to documentation:
• Environmental Improvement Program (EMS/08)
• Annual environmental reviews

Responsibility:
• The location manager is responsible for setting up the environmental programme
relevant to their site and ensuring that it is maintained and implemented.
• Where a new activity that may cause environmental impact is introduced, the
Environmental Officer is responsible for assessing the impact and integrating it into
the EMS.

Resources required:
• Environmental Officer
• Specific resources identified under the relevant EMP

7. Support

7.1 Resources
Resources are needed for the effective functioning and improvement of the EMS and to enhance
environmental performance. The Managing Director has overall responsibility for fostering a sense of
environmental awareness amongst both direct and indirect staff. In conjunction with his management
team, the Managing Director is responsible for ensuring that adequate resources are identified and
made available for the effectiveness and improvement of this EMS. This includes human resources
(e.g. with specialized skills and knowledge), natural resources, infrastructure (e.g. buidlings,
equipment, tanks, etc), technology and financial resources.

As Roadstone operates a lean business, internal resources are supplemented by external providers
whenever required. This includes the steps to be taken in the event of an emergency occurring at a
location, which could adversely impact on the environment.

The roles, responsibilities and authorities of key personnel have been defined, documented, and
communicated in order to facilitate effective environmental management. In particular, Roadstone
has appointed the General Manager Planning, Environment and Property as well as Environmental
Officers (or Environmental management representative) for the implementation and maintenance of
the EMS. Some environmental aspects are maintained and managed by personnel in production and
facilities areas, including Location & Plant managers. Individual duties and responsibilities are outlined
in Section 3.2 above.

In addition, the General Manager Planning, Environment and Property (in conjunction with the Human
Resources department) has overall responsibility for planning any environmental training that is to be
carried out during the year.

Reference to documentation:
• Organization chart (Company EMS Manual)

Responsibility:
• The Managing Director, the senior management team, the plant/location managers,
and the Environmental Officers (or Environmental management representative)
have a shared responsibility for ensuring the effectiveness of the EMS.

7.2 Training, Awareness and Competence

Environmental training forms an integral part of Roadstone’s EMS. The company ensures all
employees, contractors and sub-contractors performing tasks that may impact on the environment,
are competent to perform these. Competency is defined in terms of appropriate education, training
and/or experience. To this end, all employees and relevant contractors are trained in environmental
awareness. The relevant plant/location manager will maintain training records.

Environmental Awareness training is provided to all new staff and contractors during their induction
process. During this training, their attention is drawn to their accountability for Environmental
Compliance. Ongoing/Refresher training is planned for through the Annual Environmental, Health
and Safety Campaign and Toolbox Talks.

It is the responsibility of the Environmental Officers to identify the training needs for the effective
implementation of the EMS. This will be done at the start of each year. This will involve a meeting of
the Planning & Environment Team during which time a review of last year’s training will be carried out
as well as an examination of future training needs. The result of this meeting (i.e. The Training plan
for the coming year) will be communicated to the Location & Plant Managers.

The majority of environmental training will involve awareness training. This will inform employees
and relevant contractors of:
• The importance of conformance with the environmental policy and procedures, and
with the requirements of the EMS;
• The significant environmental impacts, actual or potential, of their work activities
and the environment benefits of improved personal performance;
• Their roles and responsibilities in achieving conformance with the environmental
policy and procedures, and with the requirements of the EMS, including emergency
preparedness and response requirements; and

7.3 Communication
Effective two-way communications, both internally and externally, in relation to environmental
matters is essential.

Communication can be broken down to two levels:

• Internal communications between the various levels and functions of the
organization and
• Receiving, documenting and responding to relevant communication from external
interested parties.

7.3.1 Internal Communications

For internal communications, the Planning Department ensures that information relating to the EMS
(e.g. Environmental Policy, Objectives and Targets, EMPs, etc.) and environmental performance is
readily available to Location and Plant Managers. In addition, the General Manager Planning,
Environment and Property will circulate information (e.g. Environmental Meeting Minutes, Alerts and
Best Practice examples) by email. The Location and Plant Managers then make the relevant
information available to employees and contractors on noticeboards throughout the site and in
Toolbox Talks and/or targeted training sessions.

Employees with enquiries / complaints regarding the EMS and/or environmental issues shall inform
the Location or Plant Manager. Depending on the nature and scope of the enquiry/complaint, the
Location or Plant manager will determine the appropriate action and maintain a record to
demonstrate the response / corrective actions taken.
Alternatively, employees can contact a toll-free “hotline” (www.crhhotline.com), set up by CRH and
hosted by an independent third party, in total anonymity.

Page 17 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

Senior members of the company regularly attend Best Practice Meetings and Continual Improvement
Meetings within the CRH group. This will often address issues of environmental relevance.

7.3.2 External Communications

For external communication, the Environmental Policy is available at the Location’s main offices and
on the company website (www.roadstone.ie). It is also available on request. In addition,
environmental performance information is available to members of the public at all reasonable times,
at the local county council offices.

The company maintains open communications on all matters relating to the environment with all
statutory bodies charged with regulation of its activities. All complaints and other communications
from parties outside of the location are dealt with immediately.
A register of all communications relevant to the EMS (including blasting and vibration
communications, requests for donations to charities, etc.) is documented by the individual
Location/Plant Manager. All complaints are recorded in accordance with the Environmental
Communications Procedure (EMS/20), investigated and appropriate actions taken.

A designated member of the Planning & Environment Team builds up a profile of the types of
communications being received. It is the responsibility of the designated Environmental Officer to
summarize these communications and the actions taken for senior management. These will be
presented and discussed during the Annual Environmental Review. The designated Environmental
Officer also prepares an Annual Environmental Review Summary report, which for the present time,
is for internal use only. This will summarize the performance of the company in compliance with legal
and other requirements as identified in the environment reviews. A decision has been made not to
communicate the significant impacts of the company externally, unless where required by License or
Permission to do so.

8. Operation

8.1 Operational Control

Roadstone Ltd has established, implemented and maintains operational control procedures to
manage its significant environmental aspects. In order to minimize environmental impacts, these

Page 21 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

procedures are communicated to employees and contractors whose tasks and activities associated
with these aspects may result in environmental impacts.

The significant environmental aspects and operational controls for each location are identified in the
Annual Environmental Review.

Efficient Process Control

Systems are in place in the locations to ensure adequate control of processes under normal operating
conditions. Within these systems, documented procedures are in existence, which encompass
activities and processes that significantly affect, or have the potential to significantly affect, the
environment and/or human health. Key indicator parameters for monitoring process control
performance have been identified, along with methods for measuring and controlling these
parameters. Any abnormal process operating conditions are documented, and analysed to identify
any necessary corrective action. Monitoring and measurement are discussed in Section 9.1 below.

Relevant standard operating procedures for Roadstone’s general activities are available in the RAMS
folder on Flex. Where location or plant specific procedures are required, these are held by the
Location or Plant Manager. These procedures are regularly reviewed as outlined in the Document
Control procedures (Section 7.4.1 above).

Equipment Maintenance
A program for maintenance of all plant and equipment, based on the instructions issued by the
manufacturer/supplier or installer of the equipment and corporate requirements, is in place. Records
of all maintenance and diagnostic testing are retained. The location manager, or suitably qualified
and experienced designate, shall plan, manage and execute the maintenance program.

Energy Efficiency Management

Roadstone operates an energy intensive business with an annual energy cost of around €22 million.
Although it has a derogation under the EU Energy Directive, it recognises that responsible energy
management is an integral part of its business and therefore endeavours to undertake its activities in
a responsible and energy efficient manner. To this end, Roadstone has established, implemented and
maintained an Energy Management System in accordance with ISO 50001 which is implemented in 22
Locations and its national Transport Department. The scope of the Energy Management System
includes all energy types (i.e. electricity, gas and fuel) used by the processes, plant, buildings,
equipment, vehicles and assets associated within the company’s quarrying, added value products and
the Transport of products.

Roadstone supports the purchase of energy efficient products and services, designs for energy
performance improvement, and reviews training and operating practices in relation to energy
consumption. In addition, it invests in energy saving measures and energy management activities, as
well as ensuring that the maintenance programme uses appropriate techniques to ensure the
optimisation of energy efficiency in plant and equipment.

The procedures which are in place to achieve more efficient energy use can be found in the company’s
Energy Efficiency Guidelines (EMS/19).

Safety & Security

All of Roadstone’s locations operate in accordance with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work
(Quarries) Regulstions 2008 to 2019.

Page 22 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

As there is a significant risk of injury or death to trespassers at most quarries/sand and gravel pits, a
barrier suitable for the purpose of discouraging trespass is placed around the boundary of the
quarry/sand and gravel pit and is properly maintained, so as to prevent unauthorised entry.
The provision of barriers is determined as part of Roadstone’s risk assessment process, and the
findings of the assessment are included in the safety statement. The type of barrier installed depends
on the risks. Where the risk of public access is low, hedges, stock proof fencing, bunds, trenches or
mounds is sufficient. In some circumstances where the risk of trespass is high, sophisticated metal
paling fences is installed required. Trespassing is actively discouraged by signage and security
measures, with incidents reported through our Flex system and appropriate action taken to prevent
further trespass.

In terms of the risk of drowing, the majority of drowning at quarries / sand and gravel pits has involved
intentional or inadvertent trespass by members of the public and has been known to occur where
areas of the location are flooded, or contain other areas of water, such as lagoons and settling ponds.
The use of water bodies at quarries / sand and gravel pits by youths or other members of the public
for recreation or bathing are prevented as far as is reasonably practicable by restricting access (as
described above) and the placing of appropriate warning signs. Furthermore, suitable rescue
equipment such as lifebuoys, etc., is provided, properly maintained and ready for use.

Site Drainage and Water Management

Site drainage is collected and managed within the existing water management system at Roadstone
locations. This includes settlement lagoons, a hydrocarbon interceptor, and in some cases, an
integrated constructed wetland (ICW) area. Collected water is re-used in ancillary manufacturing
processes and for dust suppression. Where there is excess treated water from a location, this is
discharged under licence.

Groundwater Protection and Pollution Prevention

The following measures are implemented within the Roadstone locations:
• Fuel is stored in bunded tanks. The refuelling area is linked into a hydrocarbon interceptor;
• All petroleum-based products (lubricating oils, waste oils, etc.) are stored under cover within
a bunded area or on spill pallets to prevent pollution due to accidental leakages;
• All plant used on the site is regularly maintained and inspected daily for leaks of fuels,
lubricating oil or other contaminating liquids;
• Mobile plant and machinery is serviced and maintained at the location’s garage to minimise
the risk of uncontrolled release of polluting liquids to groundwater;
• Spill kits are kept on-site to stop the migration of any accidental spillages, should they occur;
and
• Whereblasting is carriedout, measures are taken by blast operatives to ensure complete
detonation of all explosives and minimisation misfires which could lead to leaching of
contaminants to groundwater (nitrate, hydrocarbons

Air Quality
A range of measures are in place to minimise the generation / migration of fugitive dust and to ensure
that the activities at the location comply with the recommended dust deposition emission limit values
set out in the planning permission. These mitigation measures set out below are in accordance with
the ‘best practice / mitigation’ measures described in Section 3.3 of the DoEHLG (2004) guidelines and
Section 3.4 of the Environmental Management Guidelines (EPA, 2006):
• Processing plants are fitted with dust suppression (water sprays);

Page 23 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

• The main conveyors are covered / enclosed to eliminate dust blows during material transport;
• All plant and machinery are regularly maintained;
• Dust suppression (e.g. water bowser) are utilised to suppress dust on internal haul road
surfaces, in dry weather;
• Existing overall site boundary hedgerows are maintained and encouraged over the years to
help minimise the migration of dust beyond the overall site boundary;
• Screen tree planting and constructed screening bunds along the boundaries may also be used
to eliminate / minimise the migration of dust;
• Perimeter screening berms are re-vegetated to further mitigate against the migration of dust
beyond the site boundaries;
• Loads of fine materials are covered or sprayed / dampened to eliminate dust blows during
transport;
• Where appropriate, the internal access roads are, paved / surfaced and maintained, thereby
minimising traffic related dust, and any potential drag-out of dirt onto the public road;
• Vehicle speeds are controlled on all internal haul roads. Internal traffic management
measures are implemented within the overall site, including speed limit signage and speed
control measures (e.g. speed ramps); and
• A wheel wash facility is provided at the location to minimise potential drag-out of dirt onto
the public road.

Noise
A range of measures are in place to minimise the generation / migration of noise to ensure that the
activities comply with the noise emission limit values set out in the planning permission. These
mitigation measures set out below are in accordance with the ‘best practice / mitigation’ measures
described in Section 3.2 of the DoEHLG (2004) guidelines and Section 3.5 of the Environmental
Management Guidelines (EPA, 2006):
• Provision of screening berms and boundary walls / screen planting and landscaping around
the perimeter boundaries to act as acoustic barriers;
• Where appropriate, internal roads are surfaced to reduce traffic induced road noise;
• Haul roads are kept clean and maintained in a good state of repair, i.e. any potholes are filled
and large bumps removed, to avoid unwanted rattle and “body-slap” from heavy goods
vehicles (HGV’s);
• HGV’s entering the overall site are required to have their tailgates securely fastened;
• Mobile plant used at the overall site has noise emission levels that comply with the limiting
levels defined in EC Directive 2000/14/EC;
• Processing plant is operated in a proper manner with respect to minimising noise emissions,
e.g. minimisation of drop heights, no unnecessary revving of engines, and plant used
intermittently is not left idling;
• Plant is subject to regular maintenance, i.e. all moving parts are kept well lubricated, all cutting
edges are kept sharpened, the integrity of silencers and acoustic hoods is maintained;
• All plant at the overall site is fitted with effective exhaust silencers which are maintained in
good working order to meet manufacturers’ noise rating levels. Defective silencers are
replaced immediately;
• Pumps, generators and compressors are electrically powered and located behind existing
screening mounds where possible and fitted with acoustic covers where necessary; and
• Speed limits on internal roads are controlled by speed ramps and signage.

Landscaping

Page 24 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

A substantial landscaping scheme for the location was agreed with the local authority as part of the
planning conditions. The scheme provides for the contouring of screening berms along the site
boundaries to achieve more undulating shapes. In addition, the scheme includes waving bands of
woodland type planting on the outside of these berms, to further soften their appearance, as well as
gain additional height and thereby further screen any elements within the location that may be visible
from the surrounding lands. Landscaping works are reviewed and maintained on a regular basis by an
appropriately qualified landscape architect and landscape contractor, as required.

Biodiversity Management
Protecting biodiversity is an important factor when Roadstone considers new and existing extractive
activities as well as site restoration planning. The company strives to enhance natural habitats and
promote a culture of appreciation and respect for biodiversity across its locations. Ecological surveys
are carried out, and where present, protected species and wildlife (e.g. sand martins, badgers, newts
and foxes) are managed effectively, biodiversity is enhanced where possible, and pests are controlled.
The Archaeology, Ecology & Landscaping Procedure (EMS/12) and Biodiversity Management
Procedure (EMS/36) facilitate this.

As part of the Biodiversity Management Plans for each location, Roadstone has established and
implements an Invasive Species Prevention and Eradication Plan. Employees are encouraged to look
out for invasive weeds and plants such as Japanese Knotweed, Giant Knotweed, Bohemian Knotweed,
Giant Hogweed, Himalayan Balsam and Ragwort so these can be controlled effectively. Where pest
control contractors are needed, these are engaged and managed in accordance with contractor’s
procedures.

Restoration
On permanent cessation of extraction within the overall site, the overall site will be restored to natural
habitat/amenity with a body open water and secure fencing provided around the perimeter of the
extraction area in accordance with the original restoration concept submitted to the local authority in
compliance with planning conditions. Existing hedges surrounding the development will be thickened
where required.

This restoration scheme for the site will be achieved by the following measures:
• the removal of all stockpiles, plant and equipment from the quarry / sand and gravel pit void;
• the re-grading of the ancillary areas to achieve relatively level ground conditions;
• the flooding of the quarry or pit void by natural means to its normal rebound level; and
• the retention of all existing boundary fences and hedgerows to ensure that the overall site is
secure.
The overall restoration scheme for all Roadstone locations is reviewed and updated on a regular basis.

9. Performance Evaluation

While implementing the EMS, Roadstone monitors and measures the key environmental indicators of
its operations and activities on a regular basis. These results are recorded, nonconformities are
identified, and corrective and preventive actions taken in order to improve. As part of the checking
process, periodic environmental audits are carried out and provide a basis for management review.

9.1 Monitoring and Measurement

The environmental aspects and impacts for each of Roadstone’s activities are identified in the Register
of Aspects (EMS/04), and these are rated for significance in the Assessment of Environmental Aspects
(EMS/06) to facilitate focused monitoring. In addition, there is an Environmental Monitoring Matrix
(EMS/11), which identifies the monitoring and measurement requirements for each location on a
weekly, monthly, etc. basis. The position of monitoring stations has been identified and marked on
an appropriate map, which is maintained with the loation-specific monitoring matrix. See Appendix
J.
Monitoring equipment is calibrated and maintained in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
A calibration matrix (EMS/29) is maintained to track calibration of stack emissions monitors,
seismographs (i.e. blast monitors), flow meters and groundwater loggers.

Reference to documentation:
• Locations managers individual EMS folder (Hard copy)
• Location folders in Document library on Flex

9.2 Evaluation of Compliance

To meet Roadstone’s commitment to compliance, the company regularly monitors and evaluates its
compliance status with the relevant legislation, regulations and other requirements (e.g. ISO 14001)
to which it subscribes.

As described in Section 4.3.2, an online legal register is maintained by the team at Pegasus Legal
Registers, on behalf of Roadstone. The Planning Department keeps abreast of changes in
environmental and planning legislation, and representatives attend external training annually to
understand the implications of these changes to our operations. The process for assessing legal and
regulatory compliance is set out in the Procedure for Assessing Legal Compliance (EMS/07).

Compliance with planning conditions, waste license and permit conditions and relevant
environmental legislation are evaluated using the aforementioned matrix (EMS/11) and the Planning
and License Register (EMS/07a). These are specific to the regulatory and legislative requirements for
each location. Compliance will be assessed during the monthly reporting from the various locations
to the Environmental Officer (or Environmental management representative), internal audits, and
finally in the preparation of the Annual Environmental Review Summary report.

In addition, compliance with relevant environment legislation and regulations is carried out on an
annual basis in the management review. The management review deals with any update to the
register of legislation as well as any non-conformances highlighted in the Annual Environmental
Review Summary report.

Reference to documentation:
• Monitoring Matrix (EMS/11)
• Planning and Licence Register (EMS/07a)
• Procedure for Assessing Legal Compliance (EMS/07)
• Pegasus Legal Register (www.PegasusLegalRegister.com)

Resources required:
• Environmental Officer (or Environmental management representative)
• Time for Environmental Officers (or Environmental management representative) to
review their monitoring and measurement results into reports and identify areas of
concern.
• Time for Plant / Location managers and Planning department to review monitoring
and measurement reports prior to submission to the various agencies.

9.3 EMS Audit

Two types of audit are carried out:
1. Compliance Audits evaluate compliance with legal, regulatory (i.e. EPA and Local
Authority), and other requirements (e.g. CRH) as per our commitment in the
Environmental Policy; and
2. Conformance Audits evaluate whether the Environmental Management System is
structured and functioning in accordance with the ISO 14001 standard.

Page 28 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

Some overlap does occur within the scope of these two audit types (e.g. when assessing monitoring
and measurement).

The Compliance Audits ensure that we are operating within the law and regulatory conditions imposed
by our permits and licenses. They also ensure that we are working to the standards set by CRH.

The EMS Conformance Audits determine whether or not the EMS

i) conforms to planned arrangements for environmental management including the
requirements of ISO 14001; and
ii) has been properly implemented and maintained.
It also provides audit results and information for the management review for environmental
improvement.

The General Manager Planning, Environment and Property is responsible for establishing an annual
internal audit schedule to include each location, in accordance with the Internal Audit Procedure
(EMS/18). Internal audits are then carried out by the Environmental Officers at all locations and using
an Environmental Audit checklist and/or the relevant planning permissions, waste licenses and waste
permits. External Planning Compliance Audits are also carried out by the NSAI, on an annual basis, at
selected locations in accordance with specific planning conditions. In addition, external ISO 14001
audits are carried out by the NSAI, on an annual basis and across all locations, with the objective of
achieving recertification every 3 years.

Audit findings are documented and raised as non-conformances on the Flex System. In the event of
any non-conformances, the Location/Plant Manager will be responsible for ensuring any corrective
action required is undertaken in a timely manner, and for implementing preventative actions to
safeguard against a reoccurrence.

10. Improvement

10.1 Non-Conformance, Corrective and Preventive Action

As part of Roadstone’s commitment to the continuous improvement of its environmental
performance, the results of monitoring and measurement, evaluation of compliance, audit findings
and other systemic reviews are documented and reviewed in order to facilitate corrective actions
which are intended to put deficiencies right and prevent reoccurrence in the future. This is done in
accordance with the Procedure for Non-conformity and Corrective Action (EMS/28).

Monitoring results and audit findings which are outside the legal or other requirements are deemed
non-conformances with the EMS. It is the responsibility of the Location/Plant Manager to handle and
investigate non-conformances in their area. In conjunction with the Environmental Officer, the
Location/Plant Manager is responsible for taking appropriate action to mitigate any impacts caused
and for initiating and completing corrective and preventive action. Details of the non-conformance
shall be recorded in the monthly reporting to the Environmental Officer (or Environmental
management representative).

Note: Any corrective or preventive action taken to eliminate the causes of actual and potential
nonconformance shall be appropriate to the magnitude of problems and commensurate with the
environmental impact encountered.

It is the responsibility of the Environmental Officers (or Environmental management representative)

to ensure non-conformances are investigated and that action is taken to mitigate any impacts caused.
The Planning Department records any changes resulting from corrective and preventive actions, in the
documented environmental procedures.

Where there is a serious and persistent non-compliance with the requirements of the system, then
this will be reported to the Regional Operations Manager, and if required to the Managing Director as
well, for resolution.

Reference to documentation:
• Monitoring and measurement procedure (EMS/10)
• Procedure for Assessing Legal Compliance (EMS/07)
• Procedure for Non-conformity and Corrective Action (EMS/28)

Responsibility:
• It is the responsibility of the Location/Plant managers to record complaints and
nonconformances on the Flex system, and notify the Planning Department where
these are signficant.
• It is the responsibility of the Location/Plant managers to maintain their
Environmental Records Folder.
• It is the responsibility of the Environmental Officer to ensure that adequate
corrective action has been taken for serious non-conformances to the EMS.

Strategic Objectives

Global Objectives & Targets

Statement of Policy

CRH is committed to ensuring that sustainability principles are embedded in all areas of our business
strategy. The company sets policies in key sustainaibility areas at Group level, covering Health and
Safety, Social and Environment. Our management team then works closely with our businesses in
implementing these policies, reinforcing our guiding principles and ensuring that oour vision, mission
and values are shared across the globe. The ‘Statement of Policy’ for the Environment is outlined
below.

Building a Common Future

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 commitments designed to
promote prosperity while protecting the natural environment. Due to be delivered by 2030, together
they form a blueprint for a healthy world. CRH is committed to playing our part in making this happen
by managing our potential impacts, while maximising our opportunities to better prepare society for
the future, from cities that can withstand the effects of climate change to sustainable construction.

Our industry is resource intensive; around 40% of CO2 emissions globally come from buildings along
their lifecycle. As such, we are aware of the challenges we face to ensure we manage our potential
adverse impacts.

CRG has contributed to all 17 SDGs, as they all have some connection to our business. However we
have gone a step further and identified four focus goals where we believe we can effect the most
change.

We are committed to building and strengthening our partnerships to support these goals. We will
further align our processes with the SDGs and encourage all our businesses to take up this challenge.

Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

#9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure

As the leading building materials business in the world, this SDG is most pertinent to our business. We
are supporting SDG 9 through increasing innovation across our activities, and creating products to
inspire more sustainable construction. In 2021, products with sustainability attributes 1 accounted for
46% of our product revenue. These include concrete products used in flood defences, stormwater
systems, and products with high levels of recycled content. Concrete is also a key building material
for the construction of renewable energy infrastructure and public transport.
We recognise the contribution many of our products make in helping customers achieve higher scores
in green building rating schemes such as BREEAM®, DGNB, and LEED®. Overall, 28% of our relevant
product revenue in 2021 was from products that can be used in certified sustainable building
schemes 2.

1 Products with sustainability attributes are defined as products that incorporate recycled materials, products for which
alternative energy/fuel sources are used in production, products which have a lower carbon footprint, and products that
address sustainability challenges in the built environment.
2 External revenue from products that can be used directly in structures certified to BREEAM®, Green Globes®, LEED®,

IC‑700, etc. Products may qualify for points as a result of certifications such as ISO14001, BES6001, local sourcing, recycle
content and other characteristics.

Page 40 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

We continue to focus on research and development as we progress towards our ambition for 50% of
revenue to come from products with enhanced sustainability attributes by 2025. This is best
exemplified by our Innovation Centre for Sustainable Construction (ICSC). In 2020, the ICSC opened
its dedicated laboratory in Amsterdam for advanced research on sustainable building materials, to
help develop building products with an improved environmental performance and reduced carbon
footprint.

#11: Sustainable cities and communities

The UN predicts that 68% of the global population will live in urban areas by 2050, and so sustainable
urban development is essential for the long-term future of our planet. This means transforming the
way we build and manage our urban spaces.
We are supporting SDG 11 by collaborating across our industry in designing products for resilient
construction and adapting our processes to develop the climate-smart innovations that support
communities and improve the social value of the built environment.

Elsewhere in our business, we are adapting our processes to continue to meet society's needs as we
work towards our 2050 ambition for carbon neutrality along the cement and concrete value chain.
Concrete is the most sustainable building material in the world, taken over the course of its lifetime,
being durable, resilient to heat and water, locally produced and with full recyclable and recarbonation
potential. Through consistent work at the ICSC, we are enhancing the abilities of concrete and
maximising its potential to contribute to a sustainable built environment.

#12: Responsible consumption and production

At CRH, we are rethinking and redesigning our processes and products to support the transition to a
circular economy. We are supporting SDG 12 by focussing on increasing the use of alternative fuels
and materials within our activities and products, ensuring that we use natural resources more
efficiently to minimise our environmental impact. In addition, we are continuously developing
innovative new technologies to recover energy from alternative fuels and increase the volume of co-
processing materials.

We support the principles of the circular economy. To reduce the waste generated from our
processes, we maximise our reuse of these by-products in the production loop, largely avoiding
disposal. For example, we use baghouse fines in asphalt mixes, delivering significant cost savings and
reducing the quantity of raw materials used in production. In 2021, we diverted 3.1m tonnes of by-
products from our waset streams associated with our own internal processes, and recycled these
internally where possible. The remaining was sent to licensed facilties for recycling or final treatment.

We are continuously developing innovative new technologies to recover energy from alternative fuels
and increase the volume of co-processing materials. Every year we recycle tens of millions of tonnes
of materials, many of which are repurposed for road surfacing or other construction applications.
Another example is MoistureShield composite decking from Oldcastle APG, part of our Building
Products Division, manufactured using 95% recycled content.

#13: Climate action

Avoiding impending climate crisis is one of the most pressing challenges facing the world today. By
investing in people, innovation and partnerships with our stakeholders, we can reduce our CO2
emissions and help develop the technologies and initiatives needed across our industry to reduce
climate impacts.

Page 41 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

We support SDG 13 by focusing on adapting products to help improve the resilience of the built
environment to the physical impacts of climate change. We also strive to reduce our direct emissions
wherever possible. CRH is firmly focused on achieving our ambition for carbon neutrality along the
cement and concrete value chain by 2050, and have committed to a 25% reduction in our absolute
emissions by 2030.
We are making good progress in relation to our decarbonisation efforts in our cement plants, and we
now expect to achieve our carbon reduction target of 33% CO2 to <520kg net CO2/tonne cementitious
product by 2025 (formerly 2030), compared with 1990 levels (777 kg CO2/t). Innovation is critical to
this. For example, Fels, part of Europe Materials in Germany, is working with start-up Algaementum,
which has developed an ingenious method of carbon capture using algae. This could result in a lot
less carbon being released from our sites in the future.

Additional Sustainability Targets

CRH has set additional sustainability targets as a means to continuously improve our high standards
of performance and management. These additional targets are linked to our six sustainability priority
areas and reflect the changing industry association expectations, as well as those of various investors
and rating agencies. They reflect commitments we have made as part of industry collaborations as
well as our strategic objective of continuous improvement.

Investing in We are committed to better understanding of environmental

environmental management and protection, both locally and globally. We actively
management engage with a wide variety of stakeholders as part of our processes for
managing environmental risk, driving continuous improvements in our
performance and ensuring the consistent availability of resources.

Significant areas of environ-

mental expenditure in 2021
included:
• Emissions reduction
• Monitoring, licensing and
other operational expenses
• Waste management and reduction
• Restoration and biodiversity
• Reduction of water usage and discharges
• Increasing use of alternative materials and fuels
• Energy reduction and process optimisation

Understanding our Our ambition is to play our part in addressing climate change. The main
carbon footprint source of our CO2 emissions is our cement and lime processes, as
decarbonation accounted for 60% of our direct CO2 emissions in 2021.

We are working hard to reduce

direct emissions from our
activities and processes, as we
strive for carbon neutrality along
the cement and concrete value
chain.

Page 42 of 60
EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

Reducing emissions To ensure we deliver our carbon

through innovative reduction target, we are
solutions transitioning to low-carbon
energy technologies, reducing the
carbon footprint of our products
and innovating for carbon
efficiency.

Alternative fuels used on CRH cement plants in 2021 included SRF, tyres
and other non-biomass (68%), Biomass (29%) and Used oil (3%).

Alternative raw materials used in

CRH cement plants in 2021
included GGBS (44%), Industrial
by-products (23%), Fly ash (17%),
Soils (12%) and Internal by-
products (4%).

Driving actions for We have a responsibility to

carbon neutrality develop innovative solutions that
can help our industry play its part
more effectively in the drive to
zero-carbon by 2050. This
includes driving transport
efficiencies and targeting
sustainable transport.

Optimising energy In order to decrease our contribution to climate change, we are investing
efficiencies in optimising energy and process efficiencies and replacing fossil-fuels
based energy with renewable biomass sources.

Our energy use has decreased

from 60.3 TWh in 2018 to
57.0 TWh in 2021.

Preserving air We are committed to ensuring that we meet the strictest air emission
quality limits so that our emissions do not adversely impact on air quality.
The main air emissions that arise from our activities are dust, nitrogen
oxide (NOx) and sulphur oxides (SOx).
We invest in modern abatement technologies and ensure regular
maintenance of equipment at our operations. Measures used to control
fugitive emissions include building enclosures for material storage and
conveyor belts as well as paving plant areas and internal roads.

Page 43 of 60
EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

Our continuing target is to ensure

our specific major air emissions
remain at set low levels.

Delivering We continuously strive for increased recycling and minimising process

solutions for waste, developing solutions that use more recyled materials and reduce
materials/process energy and water usage.
efficiency
During 2021, 81% of the 2.1m
tonnes of process waste
generated by our operating
companies was externally
recycled. We also diverted 3.1m
tonnes of by-products from waste
streams, thereby avoiding disposal (e.g. we use baghouse fines in asphalt
mixes, and roads paved by our operating companies contain > 20%
recycled materials.)

Promoting Water is an important resource

responsible water for our activities, most
use significantly in the production of
aggregates to suppress dust
across our extractive activities,
and therefore we are targeting
improvements in water accounting across activities.

We are also committed to managing our water impacts through an

increase in innovations, such as closed loop systems in manufacturing
processes and increasing usage of
water from settlement ponds.
In 2021, water was recycled at
910 of our locations, reducing our
water intake by 56%.

Protecting As a large-scale landowner, we have a responsibility to preserve and

biodiversity and protect biodiversity across our locations, increasing the ability of
heritage ecosystems to adapt to daily threats and extreme events.

Protecting biodiversity is an
important factor when we
consider new and existing
extractive activities or site
restoration planning. We
enhance habitats for rare species
through incorporating specific wildlife led design features (such as
providing structures suitable for the nesting of bats, birds, bees and other

Page 44 of 60
 EMS/02 EMS MANUAL
Revision: 5.0 Date: February 2023 Approved By: Planning Dept

species, as well as excluding specific areas from quarrying to preserve

valuable habitats).
Restoration planning is carefully co-ordinated and carried out as a
continuous process.

We also conserve local heritage by engaging qualified archaeologists to

survey areas prior to opening new extractive areas to ensure there are no
identified or potential archaeological or geological features at risk.

Roadstone’s Objectives & Targets

Specific strategic objectives and targets for environmental improvement over the next 3-5 years are
detailed below:

ISO 14001:2015
Maintain accreditation to the ISO 14001:2015 international standard.

2030 Sustainability Roadmap

Overall project: Cut Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030 vs 2020 absolute value
Sub Project 1: 50% (Approx 27GWh) of electricity to be from renewable sources by 2025 – renewable
sources results in a significant reduction in Scope 2 emissions
Sub Project 2: 20% of Roadstone operated transport fleet to be using HVO by 2025 – HVO results in
CO2 savings of up to 92% vs conventional diesel fuel (Market volatility could prevent
higher HVOs for now)
Sub Project 3: Manufactured Sand Plant fully operational in Belgard by 2026 – Reduce the need for
natural sand resources and significant reduction in raw material transport to the Dublin
region.

C & D and Clay Intake

The strategic focus for C & D Waste and Inert Clay licenses will be on the renewal of existing permits
and increasing capacity in selected locations, namely Belgard, Bunratty, Galway and Carrigtwohill.
The permits will include the importation of clay for restoration purposes and recycling/re-use of C&D
material in some locations.

Planning Developments
A number of planning developments will be progressed in the next 3-5 years. These include quarry
expansion projects, development of inert soil and stone infill facilities, and trade discharge and air
emission licence applications / reviews.

Waste Management
During 2022 and beyond, the focus will be on reducing hazardous waste at each location, particularly
in terms of admixtures and waste oils. Specific targets for hazardous waste reduction will be put in
place.

Contractor/Supplier Approval
There is an opportunity to influence contractors/suppliers, through specific environmental criteria for
contractor/supplier approval to be established, and rolled out, for all contractors/suppliers.
