Planet
AG are commited to conserving and enhancing local biodiversity across all of our manufacturing locations, demonstrating best practice and raising public awareness – ensuring the wildlife, species, habitats and geo-diversity are considered, managed and safeguarded in all our business activities.
A Greener
Future
At AG, we already have one of the lowest carbon footprints in the industry. As we continue on our sustainability journey, we remain as committed as ever to reducing our carbon emissions and cutting down on unnecessary production outputs without compromising on the quality of our finished goods.
As part of the RPM (Responsible Plastic Management) project, we have committed to sending zero plastic waste to landfill.
Business in the Community
Climate Action
Pledge
In a further commitment to sustainable construction, AG is a signatory of Business in the Community’s (BITC) Climate Action Pledge, a public commitment by an organisation to reduce its absolute scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030; and to work towards measuring and reporting scope 3 GHG emissions. We have surpassed this target for a consecutive year in a row, find out more about our decarbonisation performance here.
Also, AG achieved Platinum status, the highest accolade available, in the 2023 Northern Ireland Environmental Benchmarking Survey, organised by BITC.
Fivemiletown
Wash Plant
A £2 million investment in a new wash plant has led to substantial cost and efficiency savings while reducing carbon emissions. The wash plant also improves product consistency, resulting in higher-quality finished products. Crucially, it allows AG to process waste materials, including discontinued lines, and recycle them into new production.
Sustainable
in every sense
AG has made responsible sourcing, carbon emissions reductions, recycling, and repurposing integral to our operations and central to new product and process development.
Protecting
the Environment
As part of the All Ireland Pollinator Plan, we have designated areas across our sites which are managed for wildlife. These are untouched areas that bees and other pollinators can use to create their habitats!
Wildlife
Habitation
Encouraging biodiversity has always been central to AG’s sustainability commitment. We have an in-house team dedicated to monitoring, recording, and positively managing wildlife habitats across our sites. One of our most notable conservation achievements is our involvement in the Ballinderry River Project, which has improved the watercourse and protected the white-clawed crayfish.
We are proud to report increases in the populations of Irish hares, sand martins, and dragonflies across our sites, as well as nurturing the peregrine falcons in our quarry.
AG has been proud to record increases in populations of Irish hares, sand martins and dragonflies. It is also an active member of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan to create spaces where pollinating plants could survive and thrive. AG also continues to nurture peregrine falcons at its Fivemiletown quarry.
