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.
