Building Better - sustainability in the construction industry
Manage episode 338877138 series 2921134
In this month’s episode, we are joined by Ian Riley, CEO of the World Cement Association, to discuss sustainability in the construction industry.
With a significant impact on pollution and energy consumption, the construction industry is often under the environmental microscope. Ian brings his wealth of knowledge and expertise to the floor to unravel this complex topic.
Highlights:
- The World Cement Association was set up in 2016 to be a voice for the independent players in the industry.
- Ian discusses the term ‘carbon negative concrete’ and explains how the carbon footprint of concrete is broken down and calculated.
- Businesses in the construction industry are increasingly under pressure to ensure circularity and pay close attention to the full lifecycles of their materials.
- Ian discusses the need for collaboration across the supply chain to fully understand organisation’s full environmental impact, especially when calculating Scope 3 emissions.
- Ian tells us about technologies that can help in making the industry less wasteful and more sustainable - and the difficulties in adopting these new technologies.
- The construction industry is playing an essential role in allowing countries to develop and urbanise, especially in developing countries. So, the real challenge for the industry is to find new ways of operating in a more sustainable way.
- Ian expresses his optimism for the future of the construction industry and shares some invaluable advice for organisations looking to become more sustainable.
