SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT

In a changing world, Arcosa’s guiding light is the hard work and dedication exemplified by our employees. With over 6,000 employees at more than 150 locations across North America, our team continues to grow. Knowing that we win together, our team collaborates to activate the potential of our employees through prioritization of enterprise-wide safety and health initiatives, talent development programs, and community impact projects.


SAFETY

Arcosa remains committed to high safety standards across our operations. To us, building a better world includes a strong culture of safety, with employees, contractors, and visitors working safely every day. Arcosa’s incident rate since 2020 reflects a marked improvement (42%), with 2025 showcasing our lowest historical Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR). Our severity rate remains low, with Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) rate improvement of 35% compared to 2024.

Identified as a high-priority topic in our latest materiality assessment, Safety Culture & Performance remains a top focus for Arcosa. No accident is acceptable, and we aspire for zero incidents at our facilities. To reach our aspiration, we have implemented continuous improvement efforts, including our continuous improvement efforts including ARC 100 initiatives and the 2024 introduction of ALIVE, Arcosa’s Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) program.

Daily discussions of core safety values reinforce skills built over time. Arcosa Safety Briefings were developed as intentional time spent at regular intervals during the work week to present and talk through at least one safety topic. Initially developed in Arcosa’s Natural Aggregates business in 2019 and rolled out across many others since, these briefings have grown into a leading indicator of employee engagement in safety. Arcosa often encourages Safety Briefings as a first step in ARC 100 safety culture development with acquisition businesses.

Implemented first nearly five years ago in Arcosa’s Meyer Utility Structures business, the Safety Mentorship Program took another leap in 2025 with an expansion into the Arcosa Stabilized and Recycling business. Every new hire receives extensive training, including safety and ARC 100 content, but as new employees begin day-to-day responsibilities, follow-up is essential. The Safety Mentorship Program pairs new hires with trained volunteer safety mentors who provide job and site-specific training and tools. Benefits of the program include higher business and safety acumen for new employees, increased employee retention, reduced injuries for new hires, and higher engagement for mentors. Adopted over the past two years by Arcosa’s Shoring Products and Specialty Materials businesses, our Mentorship Program continues to grow.

Arcosa Stabilized and Recycling collaborated to launch a mentorship program aligned to the needs of its sites. While mentorship remains key to the program, the specific processes for each business are determined and built by front-line workers within each specific business, giving ownership and uniqueness to the individual program.

BUILDING BELONGING: EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT SURVEY

In 2025, Arcosa completed its third, biennial Employee Engagement Survey. We believe our employees perform best when they are engaged and enabled. The survey is a chance for employees to voice their perspective on a wide-range of topics, including:
  • Company Goals
  • Development Opportunities
  • Safety Focus
  • Collaboration and Teams
  • Performance Management and Feedback
Each survey is followed by a continuous improvement process:

The purpose of the Employee Engagement Survey is to have our employees’ thoughts and perceptions in mind as we continue to execute on the four pillars of Arcosa’s long-term strategy to grow in attractive markets, reduce cyclicality, improve long-term returns on invested capital, and integrate sustainability into our long-term strategy. We believe fostering employee belonging through leadership listening and response improves employee engagement and retention.

Results of our third survey included:
  • FAVORABLE overall company rating
  • 5% Increased participation rate

COMMUNITY LEADERS

Through a multi-year partnership with United Way Metropolitan Dallas, in 2025 Arcosa connected with Dallas College, a local postsecondary educational institution with a mission to transform lives and communities through higher education, including workforce readiness in underserved communities. In late May, members of Arcosa’s Corporate Citizenship team participated in a ribbon cutting to introduce new classroom and lab facilities as well as support services in Dallas College’s workforce training center. The workforce center provides financial services, career coaching, and certification programs for students to pursue high-demand industries like HVAC, plumbing, construction management, hospitality, logistics and mechatronics, customer service, and IT. Arcosa’s support allows the college to expand their impact, with the goal of workforce readiness and living-wage employment for more students over the next three years. With this partnership, Arcosa reaffirms its commitment to support education and the workforce of the future in our community.
