ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
Enhanced by Our Presence
Winner of NSSGA Platinum Environmental Excellence Award Champions Stewardship
Each year, the National Stone, Sand and Gravel (NSSGA) issues Awards of Excellence for Environment in platinum, gold,
silver and bronze. These awards recognize specific producer member operations’ active contributions to the preservation
of the environment in and around their operations. It is not an aesthetic or beautification award, but rather recognizes the
corporate commitment to meeting and exceeding technical regulatory requirements and an exemplary use of
environmental controls and systems. Of the Gold level winners (nine in 2020), only one is selected for the Platinum level
award. The Company’s Berkeley Quarry was selected for this honor in 2020, and anyone familiar with the operation
knows the recognition was years in the making. The Platinum Award recognizes the best of the best in environmental
responsibility in the building materials industry by showing its commitment to the environment every day in their business
operations.

wetlands for local plant and animal species
