We’re delighted to announce that we are joining a global mission to revolutionise the concrete industry as one of the signatories of the ConcreteZero initiative. Led by Climate Group in partnership with World Business Council for Sustainable Development and World Green Building Council, ConcreteZero will commit to sourcing 100% net-zero concrete by 2050. We’re excited to be one of the founding members of ConcreteZero, alongside industry peers such as Mace, Multiplex, Skanska, Wilmott Dixon and more.
Concrete is the second most used substance on the planet, second only to water, with the equivalent of 19,000 bathtubs of the material poured every 10 seconds. The concrete industry is responsible for 8% of annual global carbon emissions, thus getting the concrete industry on track to net zero an essential step in tackling the climate crisis.
“We are excited to join a group working to make concrete (the planet’s most consumed material), get to Net Zero and beyond. Ultimately success will only come with solutions that are cost-effective in all world markets, and we must show leadership and commitment to innovate and drive change to make this happen.” – Paul Dipino, CIO
