At Laird Brothers we consider business a long-term activity. This means creating and maintaining relationships with customers, partners, suppliers, staff as well as communities to the mutual benefit of all parties. As this company is part of the community and society we can only remain profitable and develop our potential if the community is thriving. As a small company we are limited in what we can offer, however we have made the following contributions both to the community and in protecting the community from the environmental impact of quarrying:

1. Laird Brothers have planted 50,000 trees and plans are in place to plant another 200,000 on our land in Forfar and Blairgowrie. If each mature tree can 'fix' 17 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, (leisure services, Angus council, 2000) then we are potentially responsible for fixing 850,000 tonnes for carbon dioxide per year. The impact of our tree planting activities can be further put in perspective if 300 trees can provide enough oxygen for a town like Kirriemuir.

2. We have began reinstatement work at our Forfar quarry which in years to come will offer the community a scenic countryside surpassing any expectations, with ponds and embankments

3. We regularly provide financial assistance to Forfar Athletic Football club

4. We provided the building materials free to the girl guides in Forfar.

5. We follow all the criteria set by SEPA, FTA, QPA.

6. We currently sponsor Blairgowrie Boys under 13's football team (photo)
