Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Eagle Materials Inc. faces scrutiny over its ethical record, with reports suggesting over $132 million in regulatory penalties since 2000 for alleged competition, environmental, and safety violations. While the company boasts a record low safety incident rate and 78% employee recommendation, it has also incurred $1.6 million in safety-related fines. Critics point to the inherent high carbon footprint of cement production as a fundamental conflict with planet-friendly business. However, Eagle Materials utilizes recycled paperboard, invested in a slag-cement facility, and reduced water consumption at a papermill by 50%. The company also experienced a data breach on June 13, 2024, though the leak size is unknown.
