Construct Zero initiative

The Carbon Reduction Code for the Built Environment has been developed on behalf of the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) and is part of the Council’s Construct Zero initiative.

The Code has been developed by the Achieving Net Zero Cross-Industry Working Group convened by CSIC

The Code has been developed by the Achieving Net Zero Cross-Industry Working Group convened by CSIC. It is a first step to facilitate action towards reducing carbon emissions (CO2eq) related to the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of built assets.

Carbon reduction

"Our industry must reduce carbon emissions and the more organisations that sign up to the Code the more we will achieve," said Dr. Jennifer Schooling, Director of CSIC. 

She adds, "Carbon reduction is much more likely to happen when all organizations within a value chain are committed to working together to reduce their footprint and save costs."

net zero carbon objective

Dr. Jennifer Schooling continues, "Collaboration is the key to success, and with alignment across all parties we can progress towards the net zero carbon objective at the pace required."

She further said, "There are already many excellent examples of carbon reduction measures among our Achieving NetZero Cross-Industry Working Group and the Code builds upon these strengths to provide an encouraging, supportive, and collaborative approach to reducing carbon."
