Ibstock says it is on track to make the UK’s first net zero bricks by the end of the year as it reported 2022 revenues up 25 per cent at £510 million.
The Leicestershire-based business said investments in its Atlas and Aldridge factories in the West Midlands were on track to help it hit its sustainability targets.
It wants to achieve 20 per cent of sales from new and sustainable products by 2030, and to be fully net zero by 2040. Construction is one of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions.
