Like many industrial businesses, we recognised a challenge: our workforce is predominantly male and factory-based, where mental health hasn’t always been openly discussed. But at Ibstock, we don’t accept the status quo—we drive change.

By working with Everymind, we introduced a network of Mental Health Allies (MHAs)—trusted colleagues trained to provide a first point of contact for those experiencing mental health challenges. Alongside this, Everymind’s platform allowed us to track wellbeing conversations, identify trends, and provide targeted support where needed most.

At Ibstock, our sustainability strategy isn’t just about reducing carbon emissions or innovating in materials—it’s about building a better future for our people. Mental wellbeing is a core part of our social sustainability efforts, ensuring that we create a workplace where everyone can thrive.
