An Introduction of Sustainability Indicators in Asphalt Industry

This paper recommends that indicators could be adopted and developed by the asphalt industry, should it wish to take future steps towards the measurement and reporting of its progress towards greater sustainability. Areas of more-sustainable practice already exist within the asphalt industry, including durable, long-life products, environmental management, and recycling. Most of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) could readily be adopted by the asphalt industry and in some cases are already measured by some companies. A purpose of this paper is to consult and prompt discussion within the asphalt industry on the acceptability of the indicators and to determine the level of commitment that may be expected to using the indicators, should they be launched in the industry. Discussions should include asphalt producers, contactors and clients as well as members of other stakeholder groups, such as plant operators, environmental groups and training organizations.
