Join us later this month for an important online event to explore how the construction and infrastructure sectors can help the UK drive towards achieving its collective net zero targets.
The virtual event, Building Sustainability, will focus conversations on new approaches to sustainable procurement across the supply chain, as well as discuss the implementation of innovative materials, processes and strategies that will support industry to cut carbon.
Taking place on Wednesday 30 March between 9.00am to 1.30pm, a series of online panel discussions involving high-profile industry leaders will cover a number of themes including: green procurement, specifications for innovation, accelerating the innovation process, and collaborative partnerships for sustainable results.
Representatives from our business will be joined by speakers from organisations from both the public and private sectors including the Department for Transport, National Highways, AECOM and the Local Council Roads Innovation Group (LCRIG).
Rick Ashton, chair of the Pennine Institute of Asphalt Technology (IAT), will also host a review of the latest ALARM survey from the Asphalt Industry Alliance (AIA), exploring its findings and sustainability insights on the state of the local authority network.
Commenting ahead of the event, our senior manager (sustainable construction), Emma Hines, said: “The transition to a net zero society is one of the most important challenges for our generation and is a key focus of our work here at Tarmac.
“As sustainable industry leaders, we are hosting this collaborative event to share the challenges and opportunities that our sector is facing in terms of cutting carbon and innovating for the future.
“We’re looking forward to discussing the practical things that can be done right now, what needs to change and our wider role as an industry in helping the UK meet its climate targets.”
