Boxley’s long history of success is built on our ability to be agents of change. Last year marked the beginning of several transformative initiatives at Boxley. We sold our West Virginia operations to Oldcastle Materials, and Boxley Materials in Virginia joined the Summit Materials family of companies. We are proud to launch the first edition of our Boxley 360: 2015 Corporate Responsibility Report. As always, we publish this report to be both accountable for our actions as a corporate citizen as well as to share best practices and ideas that may be useful to you and your organization. In keeping with our sustainable practices, we largely distribute this report electronically which also makes it easier to share with others.

A cleaner environment makes for healthier communities. With that in mind, the Green Team chose to expand our sustainability efforts in 2014 beyond Boxley and into the communities we serve. We hope you and the 2014 Sustainability Report useful and enjoyable as we share the results of our own operational efforts and the great work and fun our employees had making our communities healthier places to live, work and play.

Boxley’s current and future leaders must have an appreciation of the positive impact environmentally sustainable operations and products have on our business and the communities we serve. With this in mind, representatives from each of the company’s business lines are chosen to serve on Boxley’s Green Team each year as part of their leadership development program. We appreciate their hard work!

In 2012, we challenged our employees to work together across business lines to improve efficiency, reduce duplication of resources, save money and share ideas. In short, we wanted to be a little better at what we do each and every day. In this report, you will find specific measurements of our practices that are environmentally compliant and promote sustainability. I want to thank each of our employees and our community partners for the important role you play in doing what is best for the environment and smart for our business.

At Boxley, we strive for excellence in all we do. In pursuit of this goal, we kicked off 2010 with a great deal of introspection about how we can become an even better company. This process resulted in exciting changes and opportunities, including updating our Company Mission Statement, sharpening our Vision and refreshing our Core Beliefs. These guiding principles embody the Boxley Way, and we think it is important to share them with you.
