From the latest earnings call

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards
at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s
shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end.
Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more.

CRH is a building materials company that supplies construction projects from roads and bridges to homes, water systems and data centers. It was founded in 1970, is headquartered in Dublin and is led by chief executive Jim Mintern.
Its basic materials include aggregates—crushed stone, sand and gravel extracted from mineral deposits—and cementitious materials used to bind concrete. CRH sells these materials directly and also uses them to make products such as concrete and asphalt. It supplies precast concrete structures, drainage systems, fencing, pavers and other building products.
