All data is for calendar year 2012 and should cover operations under your control in 2012. Include only detailed data for quarries, ready-mix concrete, mortar, asphalt, wharves,depots and recycling plants.

It is recognised that some members may not be able to answer all questions, but please try and answer as many as possible. We need to have a high level of member participation to ensure that our annual Sustainable Development Report includes accurate and credible information.

Where an answer is “0” rather than “not applicable” you should put “0” in the box - a blank box will be taken to mean either not applicable or that you are unable to answer.
