                 Environmental Stewardship


        We have made the following enhancements to our Sustainability activities in recent years:
        • In our 2023 Sustainability Report, issued in April 2024, we further expanded our roadmap for achieving our stated
          Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets for 2030 and our 2050 Net Zero Ambition, updated our disclosure
          about Board of Directors’ governance of our sustainability efforts, added additional disclosure about our efforts in
          regard to water, land reclamation and biodiversity, and added a Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Index
          in addition to continuing to include the TCFD Alignment Index that was introduced in our 2022 Sustainability Report.
        • We continued our work during 2024 to reach our 2030 goals for Scope 1 reductions
          through efficiency projects such as our $135 million Finish Mill 7 Project at our Midlothian,
          Texas Cement Plant, additional equipment optimization and the production of Portland
          Limestone Cement (PLC) or Type 1L in Texas, which contributed to a further reduction in
          both actual emissions and intensity in the Scope 1 GHG footprint of our cement business.
        • We continued to reduce our Scope 2 emissions, including through renewable energy
          credits (RECs) purchased in 2024.
        • In 2024, we also brought the three wind turbines constructed in 2023 at our Woodville,
          Ohio plant online in April. These turbines allowed us to provide a significant portion of the
          Woodville Quarry’s electrical energy need.
