Our Approach
With a focus on cross-industry and multistakeholder collaboration, we are working to:
- Ensure the supply and manufacturing of cement and concrete are in line with global climate goals
- Increase demand for low-carbon cement and concrete by helping design and advocate for appropriate policy levers
- Use a circular approach of land stewardship, effective design, material efficiency, reuse, and recycling to maximise the potential benefits of cement and concrete while minimising climate impacts
Our Goals
- Double down on coalition-building efforts across the built environment value chain
- Launch a sector transition strategy for net-zero cement and concrete, with a clear set of policy asks
- Facilitate increased use of wastes and by-products as alternative fuels and raw materials, as well as increased reuse of concrete and use of demolished concrete
- Drive private- and public-sector demand for sustainable cement and concrete
- Establish metrics for resilience of buildings and infrastructure
