About CRH
Employees / Code of Business Conduct

CRH has in place clear guidelines on business conduct and ethical behaviour for the people who represent us in carrying out their daily duties.

CRH’s corporate culture, while having a global dimension, is firmly based on the belief that local management, with a real understanding of their business and culture, can best serve the needs of all our stakeholders. This freedom to manage and make decisions creates commitment to the very important concept of dual citizenship of both CRH Group and the local company. However this business philosophy requires employees to operate to the highest levels of openness, honesty, integrity and responsible behaviour.

The Code of Business Conduct should be seen in the context that CRH, while aiming for top financial performance and growth, believes that this can only be achieved by excellence in the way we do business and by adhering to the highest standards of corporate and social responsibility.
