The CSC is a certification system for globally responsible sourcing. It aims to generate a market pull for green concrete by promoting sustainable construction through its certified concrete.
Greg Ronczka, vice president environment & sustainability at Lehigh, says: “We recently implemented several energy savings measures to further reduce our CO2 emissions and have committed to transparently communicate our CO2 footprint via Environmental Product Declarations. These measures are important for achieving our CSC scoring which serves to highlight our company’s commitment to environmental sustainability.”
Lori Tiefenthaler, senior director of marketing at Lehigh, says: “With CSC certified concrete, we are enabling Green Building developers to score in the newly-created LEED Pilot credit Social Equity within the Supply Chain, which is intended to create more equitable, healthier environments for those affected by and involved in the production of materials and products used in a construction project.”
The Washington plants are located in Seattle and Bellevue while the Arizona plants are both located in the Phoenix Metropolitan area.
Lehigh is a North American subsidiary of HeidelbergCement.
