As part of our ESG 2030 Strategy, we commit to build our social value by investing in our people, our culture and our communities – ensuring our colleagues belong, thrive and grow and that we make a positive impact in the communities in which we operate.

The macro challenges of an ageing population and skills shortage in the construction sector mean that the ability to attract and retain the skills we need supports the health of our business and the sector in the short and long term. Falling interest from young people in entering the construction sector, stubborn lack of diversity in the sector and steep competition from other sectors for the skills the industry requires mean that working hard on our culture, engagement and inclusion is a differentiator for Ibstock.

Ibstock’s people are key to the successful delivery of the business strategy and our ESG 2030 commitments. Engaging with our colleagues and our communities is crucial to ensuring the business can support their needs and thrive.
