The construction and operation of buildings has been responsible for 37% of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions globally. With governments increasingly focussing on how to build more sustainable economies and ESG standards strengthening globally, what role can construction play in this transition?
As our follow up to World Environment Day 2022, we held a webinar as part of our ‘On Site’ Construction series, focussing on the challenges and opportunities for construction in the net zero transition – and how businesses can make sustainability a competitive differentiator. We be explored examples of sustainability best practice from a range of sector experts, covering environmental innovation at the design and procurement stages, the processes being used to create whole-life zero carbon buildings and the growing importance of the green skills agenda.
Presenters:
- Ana Musat, Head of Policy, Aldersgate Group
- Beth England, ESG Associate, Sonnedix
- David Leversha, Director and Net Zero Carbon Lead for Property & Buildings, WSP
- Kye Edwards, Specification & Account Manager, Lindner Interiors
The session was moderated by Rebecca Williams and there was an opportunity for questions.
This webinar is for anyone with an interest in construction and development (including developers, contractors, consultants or funders) in any asset class.
