As a leading provider of ready-mix concrete, we recognize our responsibility to reduce environmental impact, promote responsible sourcing, and contribute to a more sustainable built environment.
Since 1927, Cemstone has been at the forefront of sustainable construction, embedding environmental stewardship into our core values. Our journey began with a vision to create durable and eco-friendly structures, and today, we continue to lead the industry with our innovative practices. We believe in building not just structures, but communities that thrive for generations, driven by our passion for sustainability and excellence.
For nearly a century, Cemstone has been synonymous with sustainability in construction. Our unwavering commitment to eco-friendly practices and innovative solutions has defined our legacy. From recycling initiatives to energy-efficient processes, we have consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible in sustainable building. Our culture is rooted in a deep respect for the environment and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
We reduce the carbon footprint of our concrete by incorporating supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), such as fly ash and slag, and by advancing the use of low-carbon cement alternatives.
Our batching plants are designed for energy and water efficiency. We implement closed-loop water recycling systems and source aggregates locally to reduce transportation-related emissions.
We engineer concrete mixes that deliver performance and durability while minimizing environmental impact—extending the service life of structures through high-performance, sustainable formulations.
We reduce material waste through efficient production and support the responsible reuse or recycling of returned concrete, wash water, and materials. We constantly explore solutions through ongoing R&D.
We invest in research and development and partner with industry leaders to advance the science and application of sustainable concrete technologies.
We track, report, and continuously improve our environmental performance in alignment with ISO 14001 and through Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
We Expect Integrity because that’s the foundation our business is built on. It’s what we were known for in 1927 and it’s what we’re known for today.
We Expect Integrity because our culture is rooted in being trustworthy, honest, ethical, straightforward and hardworking.

The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) presented the Commitment to Environmental Excellence to Cemstone for its East Bethel, MN ready-mixed concrete plant. This marks the 12th time since 2011, and 10th year in a row that a Cemstone plant has been recognized with this award.
Cemstone partners with Emerald Greens golf course in Hastings, MN to convert the original construction plan of precast concrete walls over to insulated concrete forms. The conversion saved the owners 3 months of time that would have otherwise been lost.
