Act With Integrity

Ethics & Compliance

S&B USA's Ethics & Compliance framework focuses on teaching employees how to identify ethical dilemmas and properly navigate them.

Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct outlines the highest standards of ethics and compliance. We utilize yearly training and toolbox talks that provide real-life examples and promote problem solving through the guidance of an EEO Officer or our Ethics & Compliance hotline. We ensure every employee has the contact information for our Compliance Officer to voice issues if and when they arise. Additionally, upper management in the company is thoroughly trained on crisis management.

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption

S&B USA has a zero-tolerance policy for bribery and corruption. Every aspect of our business is subject to our Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption compliance program.

• Officers implement and assimilate the compliance program

• All employees are informed of our Anti-Bribery and AntiCorruption policy

• Our contracts adopt Anti-Bribery and Anti- Corruption language

• We hold an annual training for all employees on the AntiBribery and Anti-Corruption program

• We ensure proper documentation and bookkeeping

• We perform due diligence as necessary

Environmental

Carbon is Cost

• True of any organization, particularly in civil infrastructure, our activity levels drive our carbon footprint.

• Our use of energy, fuel, materials and more are integral to delivery of resilient projects.

• These categories also represent some of our largest cost centers, so the use of technology, insights and alternatives to increase efficiency can reduce cost and our carbon footprint to benefit our clients, our communities and our environment.

Yellow Iron Activities

Infrastructure projects produce emissions that vary based on the type of activities involved. Any given project can be a combination of activity type and project type, especially on our mega projects. At S&B USA, we strive to balance between building lasting projects and managing our carbon footprint.

The spectrum on the right demonstrates how the emissions generated by our work can vary based on activity type (above the line) and project type (below the line).

We are always exploring new ways to lower emissions—on every project and in every activity.

Scope 1 & 2 Emissions: Own Operations

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol outlines three main groups (or ‘scopes’) of emission producing activities. Scope 1 and 2 emissions are those arising from direct use (such as fuels) and indirect energy-use (such as electricity).

Our scopes 1 & 2 emissions calculations for our ‘Own Operations’ (as defined in the Appendixes) covers the uses shown above.

Scope 1 & 2 Emissions: Own Operations

* Updated prior years for revised emissions factor for canister gas only

As previously noted, emissions from our Own Operations are driven primarily by off-road diesel as a direct result of our project activities. Since 2022, we have seen significant growth in large scale projects that have required enormous earth moving activities as part of the contractual requirements (including some of the case studies shown herein).

Journey Ahead

Off-road diesel is by far the biggest constituent of our scope 1 & scope 2 ‘own operations’, driven by the stage and scope of our projects.

In years where large earth moving activities are necessary, this will drive our fuels use. That said, we look at all aspects in our control:

• Accelerating fleet replacement – moving truck and other vehicle replacements to 4 years (instead of 10 years) for modernization

• Moving on-road fuel selections towards gasoline and greater efficiency engines

• Using fleet and equipment telemetry data and AI for optimization and efficiency

• Piloting alternative fuels for yellow iron

Case Study: Electrification in Action

Less noise, less emissions, greater efficiency

Our teams seek continuous improvement, utilizing new technologies and new approaches in our projects. Since our last report we have:

• Installed Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers at sites including at 33rd St, Pittsburgh, PA.

• Used EV Ford Lightings in the field as part of an ongoing pilot.

• Conducted a study with Duquesne Light and partners on EV fleet options.

• Utilized electric excavators at project sites including Howard St, Baltimore, MD.

• Reviewed electrified construction equipment options with our providers.

• Introduced our first green energy mobile field office (see next page).

Case Study: First Green Energy Field Office

The Utilities and Demolition Group recently introduced our first 100% green energy mobile field office trailer, known as T-151.

This trailer started as a basic 7-ft by 16-ft cargo mode trailer, typically powered by loud Honda 1000w generators. However, the group opted for a quieter rechargeable battery bank and upgraded with two solar panels.

The cost of the battery bank and solar panels is cheaper than the typical cost of a Honda 1000w generator and T-151 is expected to pay for itself within six months due to the energy cost savings.

T-151 can run four electrical outlets and two USB charging ports for up to 10 hours. The two solar panels keep the battery fully charged during the day.

The trailer is expected to last between 10 to 20 years, with the battery alone having a 10-year guarantee. T-151 has already traveled to various locations throughout the region.

The Utilities and Demolition Group added solar panels to trailer T-151 in order to make it 100% green energy and carbon free

Material World

• Our teams have an incredible track record of optimizing our projects to save materials, cost and carbon.

• Materials reclamation is a standard capability for us; from asphalt milling, metals reclamation, re-use of stone, crushing of aggregates for site use and more.

• We work closely with project owners and environmental agencies, with strict adherence to the highest standards to put quality and resiliency first for win-win outcomes.

• In our work with ports, we perform a significant amount of demolition of old structures to make way for the new.

• In a recent port project example, we utilized ~70,000 tons of aggregate from recycled concrete demolition as new subbase and sub-slab for new structures.

Beaver River Bridge Replacement (Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission)

Want to know more? See our project video update here

Case Study: No Stone Unturned

• The project team collaborated with the client to redesign access and excavation haul roads for safety, cost and materials optimization.

The Beaver River Bridge Replacement project is the largest contract in Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission history - a solution to efficiently replace a steel-deck bridge with two modern, wider bridge structures to carry traffic over the Beaver River and adjacent railroad lines.

• Furthermore, the team showed excellent materials management, including re-purpose of road cover millings (use and stockpile), crushing aggregate for access roads, the permanent reclamation of more than 1,800 tons of stone, reuse of traffic barriers in retaining wall solutions, and sourced local solutions for around 800,000 tons of excess dirt and fill.

The Statue of Liberty without the pedestal, weighs ~225 tons including:

Case Study: Iconic Scale

Some of the S&B USA case study examples in this report:

• Copper: 62,000 pounds (31 tons)

• Steel: 250,000 pounds (125 tons)

• Typical medium-sized dozers used for construction weigh: ~21 tons

The massive pedestal and foundation adds ~54,000 tons including:

• Concrete: 54 million pounds (27,000 tons)

• Reclaimed stone in our Beaver River Bridge example: ~ 1,800 tons

• Recycled concrete in our recent port example: ~ 70,000 tons

• Removed excess fill and dirt in our Beaver River Bridge example: ~800,000 tons

Extensive earthworks mean that the landscape of the project is ever-changing.

To keep track of the excavation and backfill progression, surveying is an important yet time critical process.

Case Study: Higher Standards

• AI and drone technology is revolutionizing surveying in earthwork projects, reducing the process from days to mere hours.

Drones take up to 2,500 photos biweekly, capturing 1.5 million points to create accurate 2D and 3D maps. These maps are used by supervisors on iPads to measure and take off quantities, and identify design flaws.

Operators must set up ground control points (GCPs), create flight plans, and acquire licenses and permits at each site before surveying.

Environmental Protection in Action

In building safe and resilient infrastructure, we help protect communities from the effects of extreme weather – including stormwater management, flood diversion, renewable energy production and more. We operate in highly regulated areas (which vary by region) and our full and transparent compliance with all environmental protection regulations is our upmost priority.

• Scope 1 includes on-road and off-road diesel and gasoline, natural gas, propane and acetylene.

• Scope 2 includes purchased electricity, steam and chilled water.

Our emissions calculations do not yet calculate scope 3 (e.g., steel, cement, asphalt, lubricants and other aspects) from the upstream or downstream value chain.

Methods

Calculations are volumes based and are in reasonable accordance with Greenhouse Gas Protocol and GWP Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), with estimations for non-material locations and missing data.

Fuels: gasoline variants and diesel variants are based on fuel CO2 factors plus GWP conversions for CH4 and NO2 factors only (at the vehicle category/use type e.g. Construction EquipmentDiesel Fuel); together these are stated as CO2e.

Utilities: electric uses location-based method i.e., emissions factors at the State level for CO2e (combined generation and transmission & distribution figures based on EIA e-grids data). Natural gas uses EIA national emissions factors. The primary input across these calculations is usage volumes for the associated utilities, estimated from spend or square footage data where usage is not available. Steam and chilled water on vendor provided emissions factors. Note: in 2024 volumes for steam and chilled water were not available, therefore emissions were estimated based on the increased square footage occupied in the applicable building compared to the prior year.

As our emissions capability matures we may seek additional boundaries, scopes and methods and are currently reviewing the applicability of targets and commitments. Emissions calculations are provided for indicative purposes and have not yet been independently assured or audited.
