Helping Bluebirds Thrive in Georgia

For 22 years, the team at our Hephzibah plant has provided special support for Eastern Bluebirds. There are currently 12 nesting boxes on site, and during the nesting season each box will be checked once a week— and a second time if there is nesting activity. This allows the team to more accurately record the dates when eggs are laid and when the fledglings leave the nest. This information is reported to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. I believe it is important in our field of work to be good stewards of the land and environment and the Bluebird Box Project is a way that I get to contribute to that. I have really enjoyed being a part of it since 2019, and am proud that our program has been successful at providing nesting places for not only Eastern Bluebirds, but other native species such as Carolina Chickadees and Carolina Wrens.
-Sara Alden, Quality Control Supervisor (Hephzibah)

At Covia, we are committed to being more than just a leading provider of high-performance mineral and material solutions – we believe that our company can make a positive difference in the world. This belief is what drives our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy, which is influenced by both our journey as an organization and the events in the world around us.
Our commitment to operating as a responsible corporate citizen has been embedded into every aspect of our business for decades and serves as the foundation for Covia’s ESG initiatives. From our operations to our Team Members and the communities in which we live and work, we continue to define WHAT WE’RE MADE OF as more than the materials we produce, but the impact we can make in every interaction.
In 2021, we enhanced our approach toward accelerating ESG performance by developing our formal GOALS THAT INSPIRE: ESG 2030. These 10 goals, broken into our three core areas - Environmental Stewardship, Positive Social Impact and Responsible Governance & Ethics - were developed by Covia Team members across the company and are designed to drive tangible and measurable progress in areas where we can make the most impact.
