Our Head of Sustainability Carl Rushton recently participated in a roundtable event, exploring how the use of timber can be increased in construction and what is needed to get the sector, and the West Midlands region, on track to achieve net zero by 2050. The event was sponsored by the Structural Timber Association Ltd. It is widely known that the construction industry ranks as one of the biggest contributors to the country’s carbon emissions; third after energy supply and transport. The roundtable discussion highlighted that while the built environment sector acknowledges it is a significant contribution to the UK’s carbon emissions, much of the focus remains on operational carbon rather than embodied and whole-life carbon.

🌱 The green transition will generate new technologies, sustainable energy production and innovative solutions for construction. Together we will create sustainable growth in our society. 💻 Read more about the green transition and sustainable construction in the blog.👇 https://lnkd.in/gjZTHZCQ #greentransition #sustainableconstruction #circulareconomy #swecofinland #transformingsocietytogether

According to research findings from the Construction Products Association (CPA), the building industry accounts for over 40 percent of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions and therefore has a major responsibility to reduce CO2 throughout the construction lifecycle. Aggregate Industries UK is leading the way in sustainability, green solutions, and the construction circular economy with its innovative carbon neutral Foamix Eco® – a newly-developed solution for highways infrastructure, construction, repair and maintenance.

Building a Sustainable Future with AG 🌍 michael davies, Head of Innovation and Carbon Reduction at AG, examines the construction industry’s pivotal role in addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time: climate change, highlighting the urgent need to tackle embodied carbon and adopt sustainable practices. The built environment accounts for 39% of global carbon emissions, with 28% stemming from operational emissions. By 2030, the World Green Building Council has set ambitious targets that all new buildings, infrastructure, and renovations must achieve at least a 40% reduction in embodied carbon. Embracing low-carbon construction practices is not only vital for meeting these targets but also presents a significant business opportunity for innovators within the industry. The launch of our EPDs represent a pivotal milestone in our carbon reduction journey, emphasising our steadfast commitment to leaving a lasting low-carbon legacy.

The construction industry is facing exciting challenges – and even greater opportunities. As one of the most important levers for a successful climate transition, we can set the course for a sustainable future together. This can be achieved by developing innovative ideas and focusing on digital technologies. This is what makes the industry so special: its ability to actively shape change. 🌱 On 27 November, FORUM:BAU offers the perfect opportunity to gather fresh ideas for the future of construction. Experts from business, research, and politics will meet to discuss sustainable construction methods and innovative approaches. 🏗️ Even though we will not be there in person, the topics addressed at the event are central to our work. Through our measures, we are taking concrete steps to make the construction industry more climate-friendly and to promote sustainable solutions. 💡 🌿 We do everything we can to minimise our ecological footprint: We only use green electricity, focus on short and low-emission delivery routes, promote the recycling of our products and support sustainable mobility and renewable energies - both within the company and among our employees. 🌍 ♻️ You can find out more about our contribution to sustainability here 👇 https://lnkd.in/e7dBaUbH KrampeHarex Know Why. #KrampeHarex #Sustainability #FutureOfConstruction

When we build greener buildings, we come closer to a more livable planet. A new report estimates that global buildings and construction-related emissions could drop 23 percent by 2035! That is motivating news for a more sustainable future. Learn how we can achieve this, with governments adopting taxonomies and regulations to enable green bonds and similar instruments to increase financing for green buildings. http://wrld.bg/tsLK50Qzib6
