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.

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.

From the latest earnings call

Updated

  • Mintern said CRH’s Velocity initiative aims to simplify its operating model, while the company completed the Arcosa acquisition and announced a new share buyback.

Pay and ownership Proxy statement filed 27 March 2026

Chief executive’s pay

Year Total pay Actually paid $100 invested
2025 17.84m 29.68m 262.13
2024 13.58m 39.59m 191.52

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. Read the proxy statement
