The industry must move faster, and adopt a collaborative approach, if we are to stand any chance of reaching net zero targets, writes Tony Selwyn of Plowman Craven
Last summer, international non-profit organisation Climate Group launched ConcreteZero, an initiative with the goal of sourcing 100% net zero concrete by 2050. Mace, Willmott Dixon, Laing O’Rourke, Ramboll, Skanska and Clancy Group were among the 17 leading real estate and construction firms to sign up, aiming for 30% low emission concrete by 2025 and 50% by 2030.
Launching the initiative with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the World Green Building Council, Climate Group stressed the urgency of the move, reiterating that concrete production is responsible for 8% of annual carbon emissions worldwide. This is a significant and positive stride forward.
