Report on Payments to Governments for Extractive Activities
For year ended 31 December 2022
This Report on Payments to Governments for Extractive Activities ("the Report") has been prepared in line with the EU Accounting (2013/34/EU) and Transparency (2004/109/EU) Directives as amended and as transposed into Irish Law and the disclosure and transparency rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. It has been prepared on a consolidated basis and includes relevant payments made by subsidiary undertakings of CRH plc (CRH).

The Report covers the period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 and relates to payments to governments for extractive activities as defined in the above referenced legislation. For subsidiary undertakings that were acquired by CRH during the reporting year, only payments made in relation to post-acquisition extractive activities are included. Equity-accounted investments, including joint ventures and associated undertakings, are excluded from the scope of the Report.
Payments made by each of CRH's subsidiary undertakings are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Payments made in non-US Dollar currencies have been translated into US Dollar using the average exchange rates for the relevant year. A monetary value was assigned to any in-kind payments at a fair market value at the time of payment.
As set out in the relevant legislation, a materiality threshold for disclosure of €100,000/£86,000 (\$105,000 dollar equivalent) was applied to payments or a series of related payments.
Where a single payment relates to both extractive and non-extractive activities, a ratio has been applied to enable the reporting of the portion of the payment related to extractive activities only within the Report.
Certain taxes including consumption taxes such as value-added-tax, personal income taxes and sales taxes are excluded from the scope of the legislation. Similarly, any charitable donations are excluded.
Extractive activities are defined as activities involving the exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of minerals or other materials. For CRH, the relevant extractive categories as defined within the relevant legislation include:
The term "Government" includes payments for extractive industries made to any national, federal, regional, state, province, county, district, municipal, local or equivalent authority of a country, and includes a department, agency or entity that is state-owned or is a subsidiary of a government.
A project is defined as the operational activities governed by a single contract, licence, lease or similar legal agreement. Where a series of such agreements are substantially interconnected, they should be treated as a single project for the purpose of establishing reporting requirements.
Payment categories and a description of each category is provided as follows:
