Overview

Concrete is the most consumed man made product and the global cement industry is responsible for around 7% of global CO2 emissions. This webinar will explain the steps the industry is taking to achieve net zero CO2 emissions and increasing the circularity of the construction industry.

This webinar will be of interest to anyone interested in carbon reduction who is currently working on or thinking about a 2050 net zero road map, consumers of concrete who want to learn about opportunities to reduce the embodied carbon in projects and those with a general interest in carbon reduction.
