Carbon Reduction Code for use by clients, consultants, contractors and supply chain members across all sectors of the built environment
This draft Carbon Reduction Code was 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 design, construction, maintenance and operation of built assets. It is not intended to replace PAS 2080 (or equivalent standards), which provides a common framework for all infrastructure sectors and value chain members on how to manage whole life carbon when delivering infrastructure assets and programmes of work.
Carbon reduction is more likely to happen when all organisations within a value chain are committed to working together to reduce their footprint and save costs. Collaboration is the key to success, and with alignment across all parties, the Working Group is confident in progressing towards the net zero carbon objective.
This will need to be delivered within and alongside the wider, coordinated system-of-systems needed to support a vibrant industry and sustainable economy.
The Carbon Reduction Code is being developed on behalf of the Construction Leadership Council (CLC).
