2021 Highlights
Highlights from our annual sustainability report include:
- Safety: With the safety of our people as our highest
priority, Arcosa team members achieved a 60% reduction in our Total
Recordable Incident Rate (“TRIR”) since 2019. Our ARC 100 safety
culture initiative continues to drive a positive and proactively
engaged culture of safety excellence and enhances safety progress
and awareness across Arcosa.
- Sustainability Reporting: Building on our prior
disclosures, Arcosa provided expanded commentary on climate-related
impacts in line with the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on
Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) with supporting
Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) metrics.
- Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) Emissions: In 2021, Arcosa’s
Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity (MTC02e/$ Million Revenues)
declined by 9% compared to 2020 and 20% compared to our 2019
baseline. We also reaffirmed our commitment to environmental
responsibility by establishing an initial, short-term Scope 1 and 2
GHG emissions intensity reduction goal.
- Water Management: We reduced our municipal water
intensity (kGal/$ Million Revenues) by 23% during 2021, 35% below
our 2019 baseline.
- Inclusion and Diversity: During 2021, a team of Arcosa
employees established the Company’s first employee resource group
(“ERG”), WE~AR: Women of Arcosa. This group is committed to an
inclusive environment that supports and encourages women to
connect, mentor and develop personally and professionally.
- Board Diversity: During 2021, we also expanded the
diversity of our Board of Directors by adding two new female
directors, increasing gender and ethnic diversity to 50%.

Cultural Climate Employee Engagement Survey. With a 72% response
