Solving the embodied carbon reporting issue

The measurement of Embodied Carbon is seen as one of the biggest challenges facing the industry as it seeks to reach Net-Zero. Without benchmarks and accurate data about emissions, how will we know what progress we are making and how will we identify where carbon savings can be made? _x000D_

The journey to Net-Zero doesn’t end with accurate reporting on emissions. With such complex supply chains, we discuss the importance of looking at region of origin, labour, fuel, logistics, water emissions… and beyond. The supply chain, as a whole, is critical to the success of a sustainable industry and the input and collaboration from direct suppliers and subcontractors is crucial.

 

Three Key Points:

Importance of Accurate Emissions Measurement: Attendees will learn about the significance of accurately measuring embodied carbon emissions in the construction industry. Without precise data and benchmarks, tracking progress towards Net-Zero goals becomes challenging. Understanding this crucial aspect is vital for gauging progress and identifying areas for carbon reduction.|Involvement of Operational and Procurement Teams: Operational and procurement teams play a pivotal role in achieving Net-Zero targets. Attendees will gain insights into how these teams can contribute effectively to sustainability objectives within the construction industry. Understanding their roles and responsibilities is essential for integrating sustainability practices into everyday operations.|Holistic Approach to Supply Chain Sustainability: Achieving Net-Zero extends beyond reporting emissions; it requires a holistic approach to sustainability throughout the entire supply chain. Attendees will explore the complexities of considering factors like region of origin, labor, fuel, logistics, and water emissions. Collaboration with direct suppliers and subcontractors is emphasized as crucial for success in building a sustainable industry.
