COMPANY OVERVIEW



        public officials or public employees. This policy provides that all political and advocacy activities, including contributions,
        by Martin Marietta must comply with federal, state and local requirements associated with participating in the policy-
        making and political process, as well as our Code of Ethical Business Conduct.

        Our Code applies to all employees and directors of Martin Marietta. The Code explicitly acknowledges the “right of its
        employees to support any candidate or political party” with their own time and money but states that no Martin Marietta
        assets, funds or employee work time may be contributed to any political party, campaign or candidate without “the prior
        approval of the Company’s Political Contribution Committee or Legal Department”, who review the requests for
        compliance with applicable law and have final authority over our corporate political spending. The Code is available on
        our website.

        Although it is the Company’s policy to encourage our employees to participate in trade associations, both at the national
        and state levels, to monitor industry policies and trends, build skills and to participate in civic activities, the Code makes
        clear that, despite Martin Marietta’s membership in any trade association, the Company’s position on issues may from
        time to time differ from that trade association.

        Any employee who wishes to request that Martin Marietta contribute to state or local candidates, candidate committees,
        political action campaigns, ballot questions, 501(c)(3) donation, political organizations or other political committees is
        required to submit a completed form to our Political Contributions Committee (PCC), which consists of senior
        management. The PCC then provides an annual report on such contributions to our Finance Committee.


        Public Policy


        We engage with legislatures and regulators to educate them on issues that impact Martin Marietta and our industry.
        These are consistent with our strategy and our core values. The top issues for us in recent years have been infrastructure
        investment as well as health and safety.
