People and communities

Tarmac's Sustainable people and communities Tarmac is a major organisation and our business is connected to communities and people in lots of ways. Whether it is employees or potential employees, customers, contractors, or our direct neighbours and the wider local community, we want to have positive relationships. This means being ethical and honest, and carrying out our business in a safe way.

Safety of our employees and our surrounding communities is of the utmost importance to Tarmac and as such we ensure a culture of safety is embedded throughout our organisation.

So why are people and communities such an important part of Tarmac’s business and its approach to sustainability? For us, it’s because the way we act and the relationships we have with the people around us are critical to our success. The people within our organisation can and do make a positive contribution to these relationships and as a company, we can also bring positive benefits to our neighbours and the wider community.
