CSIC is delighted to announce that contractors Mace and Galliford Try have achieved PLEDGER level of the Carbon Reduction Code for the Built Environment.
The Carbon Reduction Code for the Built Environment, which is hosted by CSIC and is part of the Construction Leadership Council’s Construct Zero initiative, is structured around commitments that stimulate action in different aspects of carbon reduction. All organisations which comply at PLEDGER level of the Code must set out and publish plans to meet Net Zero by 2045, including annual targets, recognising that the majority of cuts need to be made by 2030, and publish progress against it annually.
The Carbon Reduction Code is an important initiative to drive positive change in the built environment. At Mace, we have a clear commitment to deliver the most sustainable projects and programmes and I’m looking forward to working with our partners to scale up our response to the climate emergency. Our industry has many carbon challenges to overcome and the only way we can succeed is through collaboration and with robust governance in place Andrew Mitchell, Operations Director - Sustainability at Mace.
The Carbon Code is a commitment scheme designed to facilitate action and collaboration in the built environment towards reducing carbon emissions (CO2eq) related to design, construction, maintenance, operation and decommissioning of built assets. Creating a community of built environment organisations to support each other will help everyone to reach the destination of net zero.
Andrew Mitchell, Operations Director - Sustainability at Mace said: “The Carbon Reduction Code is an important initiative to drive positive change in the built environment.
