Responding to the Net Zero Challenge

With construction accounting for 43% of the UK’s total carbon footprint, the CLC’s CO2nstruct Zero programme identifies nine priorities that will have the biggest impact across the sector. The latest progress report highlights where the industry needs to focus its efforts, including accelerating the take up of electric vans, which currently represent just 5.2% of vans sold this year, and scaling up to deliver low carbon heat solutions for buildings with only 865 retrofit co‐ordinators trained to date.

CO2nstruct Zero enables businesses across the supply chain to get involved by signing up as Business Champions.

Build UK is encouraging all its members to sign up and support the CLC to collate and report on all the work that is being done across the industry to reduce carbon.
