[edit] Comment
Commenting on Mannok’s decarbonisation challenge, Paul Monaghan said,
“The very nature of cement production is a carbon intensive process, which categorises it as “hard to abate” emissions. Decarbonisation is the number one challenge for us, but it is essential to the long-term sustainability of the business.
To tackle our emissions and reduce them, we have identified nine key initiatives, which include a range of solutions in areas such as alternative fuels, alternative raw materials, green renewables, carbon capture and alternative waste materials in our downstream products.
I look forward to the Construction Buzz Webinar and sharing more details on these key initiatives.”
As well as decarbonisation, the strategy is centred around three pillars of People, Planet and Partners. Mannok views each pillar as a key to the long-term success of the organisation and ensuring it continues to contribute to the economic, social and environmental prosperity of the Fermanagh Cavan region.
