Aggregate Industries' parent LafargeHolcim is one of them:
LafargeHolcim has committed to the Low Carbon Technology Partnerships initiative (LCTPi), and must therefore "demonstrate leadership in the climate action arena". One of the initiatives of the LCTPi is to "Make freight transport climate compatible":
With 7.0 GtCO2eq of direct GHG emissions (including non-CO2 gases) in 2010, the transport sector produced 23% of total energy-related CO2 emissions. Freight Transport was responsible for 10% of these.
Reducing global transport GHG emissions will be challenging. The continuing growth in freight activity could outweigh all mitigation measures unless transport emissions can be strongly decoupled from GDP growth.
To address the challenges of climate change, freight transport systems need to be transformed globally.
Solutions will fall into four main categories, number one of which is "avoiding journeys where possible".
But if LafargeHolcim has committed to BOLD CLIMATE ACTION, why is AI planning to haul every load of as-dug material from Straitgate 23 miles to Hillhead for processing: a total of 105,000 HGV movements, a total of 2.5 million CO2 belching miles?
