Looking to the Horizon

摘要

The UK marine aggregate sector published its ninth annual sustainable development report in December 2015, part of a wider initiative established by the British Marine Aggregate Producers Association's (BMAPA) parent organization, the Mineral Products Association. The ninth annual report builds on the sector's sustainable development strategy launched in October 2006. Under this commitment, individual marine aggregate operators continue to report a wide range of data which, when combined, provides a comprehensive record of the sustainable development performance of the sector as a whole. A series of key performance indicators (KPIs) encompass the themes of sustainable production, climate change and energy, natural resources and environmental protection, and creating sustainable communities. Over the years, the time-series data that have been collated have allowed trends and changes in overall industry performance to be identified.
