Emission Reduction in the Construction Industry

In 2022, Australia committed to reducing emissions by 43% by 2040. The Climate Change Act also included a commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050. This means that all of us across every sector will need to band together to reach our desired goal. 

The construction industry in particular has work to do to reach net zero by 2050 and be in line with global trends for decarbonisation. To stay competitive in the global arena, answer the changing demands of customers, and keep up with Australian climate commitments, the industry must adapt its practices. 

Can the construction industry overcome these challenges and benefit from introducing sustainability principles?

In this whitepaper, we will assess the challenges and opportunities presented to the construction industry by the transition to net zero and changing customer sentiment.
