What we mine and sell—aggregates—are indispensable to infrastructure and growth. How we run our company also comes down to essentials. We run our business with great discipline and integrity. We maintain a great place to work and grow. We take care of the land through the entire cycle of productive use from mining to restoration and re-use. We serve our customers and communities well. Always with the long view in mind. This is how we sustain success. WE ARE VULCAN. AND WE DELIVER VALUE. Vulcan Materials Company is the nation’s largest producer of construction aggregates— primarily crushed stone, sand and gravel—and a major producer of aggregates-based construction materials including asphalt and ready-mixed concrete. Our coast-to-coast footprint and strategic distribution network align with and serve the nation’s growth centers. We are headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. Vulcan has 375* active aggregates facilities and over 120 facilities that produce asphalt and/ or concrete, which also consume aggregates. All of these are located in the U.S. except for our large quarry and marine terminal on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. The products from this facility are primarily exported by ship to the U.S. Gulf Coast, where quality stone cannot be mined locally. What we produce is used in nearly all forms of construction. In particular, large quantities of aggregates are used to build and repair valuable infrastructure such as roads, bridges, waterworks and ports, and to construct buildings both residential and nonresidential, such as manufacturing facilities, office buildings, schools, hospitals and churches. MISSION Vulcan Materials Company is an international producer of construction materials essential to the standard of living of advanced and developing societies. Our Mission is to provide quality products and services which consistently meet our customers’ expectations; to be responsible stewards with respect to the safety and environmental impact of our operations and products; and to earn superior returns for our shareholders. We recognize that success in all of our activities is related directly to the talents, dedication and performance of our employees throughout the Company. GUIDING PRINCIPLES Integrity: We will work constantly to earn the respect and trust of all parties we interact with by acting fairly and honorably. We will observe high ethical standards and obey all laws and regulations. Excellence: We are committed to excellence in all of our activities. We value innovation. We intend to maintain a position of leadership in each of our industries. People: We will maintain a high respect for people – for their dignity, their talents and their interests.
