EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING




            Exceptional Execution                                 The Move to Remote Work

            COVID-19 safety protocols were implemented            In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our
            across all Company operations in 2020 to help         offices, a majority of our support staff transitioned
            ensure the health of our employees:                   to primarily remote work environments:

             • Adherence to safety protocols ensured minimal      • Approximately 1,300 employees remotely
               employee-to-employee transmission                     supported Martin Marietta’s operations in 2020

             • Operational planning and flexibility enabled       • Transitioning this portion of our workforce to
               the Company to maintain its “essential                remote work provided greater control over our
               business” designation and continuing                  work environments and allowed our teams to
               operating during 2020                                 effectively implement COVID-19 social
                                                                     distancing requirements
             • Creation of a Martin Marietta HealthHub
               internal website to give employees easier access   • Virtual quarterly and annual external audits were
               to Company policies and guidance, as well as          conducted in 2020 with no delays in internal or
               fast-changing educational materials from the          external financial reporting
               CDC and the government relating to COVID-19
                                                                  • We experienced ZERO significant deficiencies or
                                                                     material weaknesses




          transitioned to remote work. Our executive leadership team quickly mobilized to provide the framework needed for an
          effective Company response. We leveraged our long-standing business relationship with our occupational medical
          provider to help draft safety protocols that were quickly implemented across the Company. Our proactive and rapid
          management response to the COVID-19 pandemic involved a cross functional Corporate Response Team, which oversaw
          the development, implementation and maintenance of safe working protocols that allowed for uninterrupted business at
          all of our 24-hour operations; we experienced only very modest shutdowns across other operations.

          These protocols have allowed us to navigate an effective response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the evolving guidance
          from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) while operating our business safely. All the while, we
          maintained the flexibility needed to meet all operational, business and regulatory demands.

          As COVID-19 infection rates fluctuated nationwide throughout the year, our protocols remained effective. We continue to
          see little employee-to-employee spread. As the virus and its impacts persist through 2021, we will remain true to our
          Guardian Angel and ONE cultures and continue to follow the protocols that have so effectively protected our employees’
          health and well-being.
