Materials matter – but on sustainability, processes matter too
Perfecting processes is a vital way construction organisations can cut their carbon footprints.
Globally, construction accounts for 36% of energy use, and 39% of overall carbon emissions. Which in turn, requires us to drastically reduce the amount of carbon we’re pumping into the atmosphere. As one of the most material- intensive industries on Earth, construction has a vital role to play in this process. A vast, staggeringly intricate global economy that was founded on the use of fossil fuels has to reach the stage where it can almost entirely do without them. To give us the best possible chance of avoiding spiraling climate change, we have to limit rising global temperatures to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius.
