Join Me and Arabian Gulf Steel Industries LLC (AGSI) at Big 5 Talks: Sustainable Building Materials Panel Discussion! I’m honored to be moderating an insightful panel discussion at Big 5 Talks on the future of Sustainable Building Materials, a topic that lies at the heart of transforming the built environment to align with global sustainability goals. This conversation will delve into the immense benefits of adopting green and low-carbon materials, for example steel or cement, highlighting their role in reducing emissions and fostering innovation in construction. We’ll address the critical need for widespread adoption of these materials and discuss the barriers currently slowing their uptake. The panel will also explore the vital role of policies, government interventions, and industry collaboration in accelerating this transition. As we work towards ambitious goals, such as The UAE's Net Zero 2050 Vision, this session aims to provide actionable insights and spark meaningful dialogue on how we can create a sustainable and resilient built environment. Join us to learn, engage, and contribute to shaping the future of construction. Together, we can build a greener tomorrow! 29 November, 2024 World Trade Center, Dubai #Big5Talks #Sustainability #GreenBuildingMaterials #NetZero2050 #InnovationInConstruction #FutureOfConstruction

During #NetZeroWeek, it’s fitting that our chief sustainability officer Julia Barrett was declared Construction Leader of the Year at last night’s Construction News awards. This is recognition for how Julia has driven our aim is to be zero-carbon in our own operations without offsetting by 2030. The built environment is responsible for about 42% of annual global CO2 emissions, so finding a solution is non-negotiable. That's why yesterday’s award matters. It’s a reflection on the progress construction is making to become a greener industry that offers tangible solutions for the net zero ambitions of customers and supply chain partners alike. In awarding the title, judges said Julia’s ‘commitment to driving change through collaboration, strategy and leadership really shines through’. Collaboration is the only way we’ll deliver a step-change in reducing construction’s annual global CO2 emissions. We look forward to working with customers, peers and supply chain partners in making that aim a reality. #NetZero #Decarbonisation #biodiversity #nature #BNG #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateAction #SustainableConstruction #ClimateCrisis #CarbonReduction
