Slide packs and presentations now available

Our free online Let's Talk Sustainability event was held on Thursday March 10 for everyone involved in the construction industry.Its aim was to demonstrate best practice examples that can be replicated across the sector and show how collaboration can help overcome the carbon challenge and help the government meet its 2050 net zero ambitions. The programme included understanding the decarbonisation challenge, how construction materials can help reduce the carbon footprint of projects and how building materials companies are reducing their carbon emissions through innovation and investment.
