A Corporate Wide Commitment

ARDEX Engineered Cements and its employees at each of our facilities are committed to
environmental sustainability. We are proud of our employees commitment as environmental
stewards and provide encouragement and support for their environmental conversation efforts.
At our corporate headquarters our employees have implemented two programs Adopt-A-Highway
and a Paper Recycling Program.

Adopt-A-Highway Program
Many employees at the corporate office and plant participate four times a year picking up litter
and debris from Todd Road, a 1.5 mile stretch that leads into the ARDEX / HENRY campus.
Litter and debris is collected from the roadside, hillsides and wooded areas that line Todd
Road and then is properly disposed of for recycling or waste.

Paper Recycling Program
At the corporate headquarters and the Aliquippa plant, employees make concerted effort to
recycle paper products. The proceeds from these efforts benefit the Beaver County Humane
Society. Designated receptacles are placed near trash cans, copiers and printer stations where
employees can discard unneeded paper products for recycling. A local recycling firm collects
the paper and the results are reported monthly.
