Champions from across the UK鈥檚 construction industry have come together to declare their commitment to support , the construction industry鈥檚 response to the climate emergency.

Announced at UK Construction Week, the business champions initiative enables companies to be role models in this industry change programme. They demonstrate a commitment towards the sector鈥檚 drive in reducing carbon emissions, in both the delivery and operation of the built environment.

The first 14 companies 鈥� including 海角视频 鈥�  have been drawn from across the UK鈥檚 construction supply chain and selected by the Construction Leadership Council (CLC). Companies who want to be business champions are encouraged to commit to CO2nstructZero and can apply to become a business champion in an ongoing monthly recruitment drive.

As part of this industry change programme, business champions will work alongside the CLC and other major industry bodies to share innovations and best practice, acting as promotors and role models to support the industry鈥檚 move to net zero carbon.

Each organisation has made a commitment that they will share tangible evidence of their net zero carbon plans against the nine CO2nstructZero priorities, contribute to the CO2nstructZero industry reporting process and work together to support companies in the sector to develop their own plans.

This is a hugely significant moment for the UK鈥檚 construction industry. As we look towards COP26 later this year, the whole sector must work together to drive real change. From global UK companies to the smallest local businesses, our business champions represent the best of the sector, and will play a key role in helping to drive transformational change in how we deliver the built environment.

Andrew Griffith MP, UK Net Zero Business Champion and Chair of the CO2nstructZero Advisory Board

“We cannot deliver our ambitious national net zero carbon ambitions without changing how we build 鈥� and our business champions will set a fantastic example for others to follow,鈥� said Andrew.

From investing in the development of low carbon concrete to the adoption of electric vehicle fleets and using low carbon energy sources to heat homes, each business champion is committed to driving industry change in their specialist area. They are working on projects across the country that are transforming the delivery and operation of the built environment.

In addition to 海角视频, the additional business champions are:

• Keltbray
• Mace
• Mid Group
• Multiplex
• Laing O鈥橰ourke
• Arcadis
• Bradfords Building Supplies
• Travis Perkins
• APP Wholesale
• ACO Technologies
• AICO
• RLB
• Turner & Townsend.

海角视频 has recognised the need to help lead in the engineering response to net zero and the climate emergency, as we work to create a sustainable and equitable future for people, places and planet. Working with the CLC on the CO2nstructZero campaign will enable us to achieve this collaboratively across the industry.

Dr Sarah Prichard, UK Managing Director at 海角视频

鈥満＝鞘悠� are committed to measuring embodied and operational carbon on all projects we design, both new build and retrofit. We have created in-house building performance dashboards to allow us to report on modelled and measured carbon and have ambitious targets around driving down in use and embodied carbon in our work over the next ten years. In regularly reporting and holding ourselves accountable to our people and the wider industry as we strive to achieve these, we hope to inspire other organisations to join us on this journey,鈥� said Sarah.

We are undertaking a large number of engineering projects to reduce carbon across our work. In 2021, 海角视频 won CIBSE鈥檚 鈥楤uilding Performance Consultancy of the Year鈥� for the fourth year running, highlighting our commitment to verifying operational energy use of its projects and closing any performance gaps.

These include the use of low carbon heating for homes and major landmarks 鈥� such as Bath Abbey 鈥� and supporting the development of the next stage in low and zero carbon flight options, including electric and hydrogen powered aircraft.
