Our Approach
Our corporate responsibility efforts are centered around the three pillars of environmental stewardship, positive social impact, and responsible governance and ethics.
Through these pillars and associated goals, we are committing to, among other things:
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our operations and safeguarding the environment for future generations through resource conservation and biodiversity protection
- Ensuring a safe, healthy, and inclusive work environment where the professional and personal development of our team members is supported and celebrated
- Investing in the communities where we live and work through volunteer efforts, financial contributions, and regular engagement to identify and address the needs of those we serve
Alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals
Covia continues to build on a long legacy of corporate responsibility. We are proud to reaffirm our commitment to our 2030 Goals, which are designed to enhance our environmental stewardship, social impact, and governance practices. Where necessary, we have reestablished the 2021 baseline to reflect the new organizational boundary of Covia.
As part of our stakeholder-driven approach to developing and working toward our goals, we evaluated the UN Sustainable Development Goals and identified 11 that we believe we can directly impact and that align with our own goals.
Corporate Responsibility Report: Growing with Purpose, Inspired by Possibility
Covia's annual Corporate Responsibility Report is designed to showcase the remarkable achievements made by our team members throughout the year on corporate responsibility matters that hold significance for our business, customers, communities, and other stakeholders.
Our commitment to corporate responsibility is far-reaching, starting with the Board of Managers and Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and cascading to team members across our organization. Our Board monitors our corporate responsibility progress and performance and uses this information in close collaboration with our ELT to further refine and enhance the strategic direction of our corporate responsibility programming.
We’re proud to report that the Covia team continued to make steady progress across our slate of goals. Click the images below for an overview of our targets and our 2024 progress.
Past Reports and Documents
We see our approach to the many initiatives and programs at Covia to be continuously improving bodies of work – as such, we view the many living documents intended to help push best practices and evolve to meet the changing needs of the industries we serve. The documents are reviewed at least annually and updated to reflect the dynamic materiality of Covia’s issues and opportunities.
