As an infrastructure solutions company, we rely on natural resources for our processes, which is why it is crucial for us to give back to the environment for all that we take. Tierra Green will be going live soon — a step towards giving something back to nature and future.

Here are three simple reasons why Sustainability in the Built Environment Matters!!! 🚿 The built environment consumes about 40% of global energy and 25% of water resources. Sustainable practices help conserve these resources through efficient usage and waste reduction 🔌 ♻ Buildings contribute nearly 40% of global CO2 emissions! Sustainable design and construction practices are crucial in reducing carbon footprints and combating climate change ☀ 🦇 Sustainable building practices minimize disruption to local ecosystems, safeguarding habitats and promoting biodiversity 🐸 When the stakes are this high and you look at the stats, it makes me wonder, are we doing enough to prioritise sustainability in the built environment?

Sometimes, the toughest part of trying something new is just getting started. 👇🏻🏗️ Many in construction recognize that sustainability is an increasingly high priority, especially as global efforts to reach net-zero emissions pick up. Some are hesitant to make the transition though, in part because there's just so much to do. My latest blog post looks at a few important steps for starting your sustainable construction journey, but remember the most important point: ➡️ You don’t have to be perfect to find success. You just need to know where you are and where you need to go. #Sustainability #Construction #Decarbonization

Did you know? The construction industry accounts for 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions - the single largest contributor.    This World Nature Conservation Day, we want to reaffirm our commitment to eco-friendly construction practices. By choosing sustainable materials, we're not just creating buildings; we're preserving our planet for future generations.     Reach out to learn how our eco-friendly solutions can transform your projects.    #WorldNatureConservationDay #SustainableConstruction #Biltech #GreenBuilding   

Interesting paper about the application of SITES.

🌍World Environment Day! 🌱 For the last year we have been searching for ways to innovate our clients projects, to offer groundbreaking construction solutions to renovations, that are not only sustainable but can offer a more cost effective way to building versus traditional methods. All while diverting waste from landfills and reusing and repurposing old equipment and fixtures to those that truly need it most, in third world countries, all around the world. Todays is a day to celebrate 🌍World Environment Day! 🌱 by embracing a circular economy approach through sorting, baling, and recycling and adopting new green technologies and methods. If you are seeking the Evolution of Construction, one that is sustainable, let’s connect and build the future together. #WorldEnvironmentDay #CircularEconomy #Recycling #Sustainability #CarbonFootprint #SaveOurPlanet #construction #building #innovation #zerowaste

"Happy Earth Day from M Sullivan & Son Ltd. 🌍 Today, as we celebrate our planet, we're reminded of our commitment to sustainability in every project we undertake. From green building practices to reducing our carbon footprint, we're dedicated to preserving the environment for future generations. Let's continue building a better world, one eco-friendly construction at a time. #EarthDay #Sustainability #GreenBuilding"

🌍 Check out the latest edition of The Landscaper, where Chris Wellbelove highlights the crucial role of collaboration in reducing carbon emissions and how Blakedown Landscapes is proactively adopting innovative landscape solutions to mitigate carbon across all our projects. This feature is part of a broader discussion prompted by the recent Landscape Institute and British Association of Landscape Industries Landscape and Carbon Report. The report outlines a clear route map for reducing and sequestering carbon, aligning with the UK's 2050 net zero target. The article also sets out the eight essential steps to carbon capture and reduction and how thoughtful landscape and garden design can shape a sustainable future. 🌍 Read the full discussion here (P.18) https://lnkd.in/eS56RVwY #thelandscaper #landscapeinstitute #britishassociationoflandscapeindustries #carbon #carbonmitigation #sustainable #netzero #landscaping #landscapingsolutions #carboncapture #carbonreduction #netzero2050

As part of the Group’s aim to create a climate-resilient portfolio, our Sustainability team encouraged our colleagues to embrace sustainability in their scope of work and play through an informative ESG talk on circularity in a building's lifecycle. One such example is St James Power Station which achieved a significant reduction in embodied carbon through restoration and the adaptive reuse of materials as opposed to demolishing and rebuilding, which included preservation of the structure (see photo below).   Our colleagues were also introduced to the application of nature-based solutions towards sustainable design and construction in the real estate industry and learnt about waste minimization through the efficient use and reuse of resources within a closed-loop system. #Mapletree #StJamesPowerStation #Singapore #ESG #Circularity #Sustainability

Celebrate World Environment Day by embracing sustainability in construction! 🌍 From energy efficiency and green materials to reduced waste and innovative tools, every step counts in building a greener future. Join us in making a positive impact on our planet. Together, we can create a sustainable world for generations to come.
