OUR SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH
Martin Marietta Continues to Focus on
Sustainability via our SOAR Strategy
Martin Marietta incorporates sustainability in its long-term strategy, day-to-day operations, and assessment of how well
the business is performing. We refresh our Strategic Operating Analysis and Review, or SOAR, every five years, and
include performance objectives relating to our sustainable growth and performance. Execution of our SOAR objectives has
led to a dynamic 10 years of growth; our most recent SOAR 2025 was presented to our Board of Directors in 2020. We
have achieved this growth responsibly, with a focus on safety, the environment, our employees, our communities, as well
as growth and capital allocation.
