Keeping the community involved is important to us at Lafarge Aggregates Southeast's Cumming Quarry. One of the ways we do this is through participation in the local Adopt-A-School program which allows interaction between our operation and the school we have "adopted," Dave's Creek Elementary. We regularly assist with festivals and have helped construct an outdoor classroom. Parents appreciate the active participation they see from Lafarge within the school.
In addition to our outreach within the school, as many as 1000 visitors come to the site each year for tours, open houses, field trips, etc. During these visits, we explain our operations and measures we take to be environmentally responsible members of the community. We recently underwent a successful rezoning that we attribute largely to the positive image Lafarge has developed within the community.
Through community involvement that highlight our commitment to being a valued part of the community, Lafarge Aggregates Southeast is ensuring our continued ability to grow our operations, thereby "delivering the value creation that our shareholders expect."
