AIS CELEBRATE COMPANY MILESTONE TO KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥳 We hope you all had a relaxing Christmas and New Year and are ready to take on 2024! Did you know that 2024 marks 100 years of business for us at asset? Our beginnings as a UK-based business can be traced back to 1924 in London. 100 years of expertise in supplying infrastructure products that are built for future, designed for life. We look forward to celebrating the milestone as team later in the year.

MONDAY 15TH JANUARY IS NOW BREW MONDAY! Monday 15th January is no longer Blue Monday, the saddest day of the year for many, it is BREW MONDAY! ☕️ Our first ESG Matters talk for the year was presented this morning by Matthew Jones. This Brew Monday, Samaritans is reminding everyone to reach out for a cuppa and a catch-up with the people you care about. In other words… Out with the BLUE and in with the BREW! We have put together some ideas on the types of things you can take part in, but as long as you’re sharing a cuppa and listening, you’re doing it right!

SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY SCHOOL ISSUES SILVER AWARD TO AIS We are so proud to announce that we have recently achieved a Silver award from the Supply Chain Sustainability School, a multi award winning initiative which represents a common approach to addressing sustainability within supply chains. Backed by the UK’s top organisations for the built environment, the School helps to meet the challenging sustainability targets set out by the UK Construction Strategy 2025. The School provides practical support in the form of CPD-accredited e-learning modules and training workshops, tailored assessments and action plans. At asset, our goal is to minimise embodied carbon as well as closely monitor our impact on the environment. It is more important than ever to establish goals for a greener future, and as a company that focuses on sustainable engineered solutions built for future and designed for life, we couldn’t be happier with the recognition.

ASSET MD LEADS BY EXAMPLE BY COMPLETING SUSTAINABILITY MODULE Our MD Richard McTavish has recently achieved 100% in the Supply Chain Sustainability School Module 'Business Case for Sustainable Construction'. Richard had this to say: Keeping the focus on my personal learning plan towards sustainability awareness, I have recently completed a module containing some very interesting case studies and interviews, that will help build our business case for sustainable construction practices and products. Being involved with the Supply Chain Sustainability School has been a great experience so far. Here at Asset International Structures, we strive for excellence in helping to build a sustainable planet. Sustainability is a key driver for us, and it's great to see our MD leading by example. Well done Richard!

ASSET INTERNATIONAL STRUCTURES BECOME MEMBERS OF THE ARA We are proud to announce that we are now members of the Australasian Railway Association. The ARA are the peak body for rail in Australasia, representing all sectors of the rail industry. They represent an array of rail organisations, and provide a coordinated and unified voice on relevant issues of national importance. The ARA promotes rail along with specific projects and initiatives, and represent almost 200 member organisations. Joining this fantastic network has provided us with new opportunities to continue supporting resilience in rail track support, via our patented asset BaFix ballast retention system.

RAISING MONEY TO SUPPORT PAPYRUS PREVENTION OF YOUNG SUICIDE On 15th December 2022, we took part in a 'Wear Purple to Work Day' in support of PAPYRUS (Prevention of Young Suicide). PAPYRUS exists to reduce the number of young people who take their own lives, by shattering the stigma surrounding suicide and equipping young people and their communities with the skills to recognise and respond to emotional distress. Every member of staff fully embraced the spirit of the event and did the company proud, as you can see from the images below: We set up a JustGiving page in aid of the charity, and it was so well received that we extended it by a further month, into January 2023. We set a goal as a company of £1,000, and ended up raising a whopping £1,660! We have been blown away by the reception and response, and would like to sincerely thank every single person who helped us to not only reach, but smash our goal... Are you, or is a young person you know, not coping with life? For confidential suicide prevention advice, please visit: https://www.papyrus-uk.org/

BIRMINGHAM SUSTAINABILITY FORUM & BEIC TOUR In February, we attended the Sustainability Forum at the Millennium Point Birmingham, hosted by Hill & Smith PLC. On day one, we covered many ESG topics along with strategies for sustainable practices within asset HQ. We also took part in some fantastic brainstorming sessions with other businesses within the group. It was great to see what each company has already put in place in terms of sustainability, as well as future plans for continued improvement. On day two, we went on an informative tour of the Birmingham Energy Innovation Centre (BEIC) & Tyseley Energy Park, and came away with a wealth of knowledge and ideas that we’re looking forward to implementing.

ASSET INTERNATIONAL STRUCTURES DEMONSTRATE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES We are delighted to share that we have successfully verified our carbon footprint via Carbon Footprint Ltd. Carbon Footprint Ltd is committed to reducing carbon emissions at source, by making recommendations and setting targets to reduce carbon and energy spend within businesses. A main driver for us is minimising embodied carbon through sustainable, off-site modular construction. Being a carbon footprint assessed organisation enables us to demonstrate our responsibility to the environment, as well as uphold our key values as a business.

RADISSON BLU, GLASGOW | 2ND MARCH 2023 We had a fantastic time at the one-day Rail Scotland Conference in March, discussing our rail product range with exhibitors. We had several products to demonstrate on the day, including our FRP Rail Platform 3D models and FRP panel samples. On display we also had one of our BaFixTM Ballast Retention Systems, which has been specifically designed to reduce the levels of maintenance caused by the loss of the ballast shoulder over time. Attending events such as this put us at the heart of the rail infrastructure industry, and enable us to showcase our growing portfolio of innovative products.

WE SIT DOWN WITH VICTORIA MCTAVISH TO EMBRACE EQUITY In support of International Women’s Day, we sat down with our Senior Brand Designer & Project Coordinator Victoria McTavish to discuss her take on workplace equity. Although Victoria has come from the design industry, as part of her role at asset, she also gets involved in many different projects including recruitment, HR, employee wellbeing as well as health & safety. The industries Victoria has been a part of over the years have been predominantly male orientated, and ensuring that everyone (regardless of gender) is respected and treated equally has always been her main goal throughout her career. Victoria also commented on the increase she has experienced in the number of females entering the design and engineering sectors in recent years. She believes the key to diversification is educating the industry, employers and employees on the equity of an individual, in terms of ensuring that everybody has equal rights and is treated fairly.
