Lagan Good Neighbours Policy

Companies > Lagan Cement > Community > Good Neighbours Policy

Lagan has made a long-standing commitment to being a good neighbour and has in place a 'Good Neighbour Policy’ to maintain a strong focus in this area. As a responsible neighbour we strive to be caring, clean, considerate, cooperative and committed to our environmental duty of care at all times.

Lagan Cement is aware of the importance of constructive and transparent communication with its neighbours and has facilitated this to-date via 'open days’ and 'neighbour meetings’ of the type held in relation to the MBM application process. To further develop this relationship, we set up a 'Community Liason Group’. The group consists of representatives of Lagan Cement and two representatives of the local community.
