As Africa’s construction industry embraces greener practices in meeting its infrastructure needs, CHRYSO Southern Africa is on board with a rebranded focus on sustainability. https://lnkd.in/dS-QAvAH

The construction industry has put a lot more focus on sustainability in recent years. 🏗️ ♻️ The Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund is a big part of this, aiming to cut carbon emissions and make housing more energy-efficient. Our latest blog outlines the revolution of sustainable practices in construction: https://lnkd.in/e34R6v5v #Hamilton #Sustainability #Construction

Increased timber use not only aids in achieving net-zero targets but also supports the government’s sustainable development goals. 🎯🌿 As the industry implements the steps outlined in the Net Zero Roadmap, timber is well-situated to become a significant component of eco-friendly construction practice.

🏗️ In today’s increasingly environmentally conscious world, sustainability has become a paramount consideration in all industries, including construction. As the built environment continues to expand, construction projects have a significant impact on the environment, natural resources, and the communities they serve. Embracing sustainability principles not only helps minimize negative environmental effects but also leads to long-term economic and social benefits. Here’s why sustainability is essential in construction projects: https://lnkd.in/diZWRWnw #construction #building #projectmanagement #programmanagement #build #sustainability #fremarprojects #southafrica

So proud of our work in decarbonisation across all aspects of the value chain. Concrete is the largest carbon hotspots in many projects and it is in many cases the best place to start.

We’ve been named Category Winner, Professional Services, Engineering & Advisory, in the Australian Financial Review’s Sustainability Leaders List for helping to pioneer the use of sustainable concrete in construction and infrastructure. Concrete is integral for our roads, bridges, rail, and buildings. It also makes up nearly 9% of global greenhouse gas emissions. So we asked ourselves, how can we make it more sustainable? Working with clients and partners across the entire supply chain, we have helped develop new forms of sustainable concrete, and introduced these solutions to major infrastructure projects across Australia. The result? By using concrete alternatives in some of our projects, we have already delivered 50-80 per cent cement reduction using 10-20 per cent recycled material. Collaboration with clients and industry partners has also seen industry wide change – from product design and project application to influencing policy and industry standards.

💡 "It’s more or less impossible to change one part of construction without touching everything else." 💡 Alasdair Henderson, Executive Director at BAM UK & Ireland, shared his insights at the CIF Annual Conference 2024 on the interconnected nature of the construction industry. He highlighted the importance of sustainability in the context of the entire system of construction and the vital role every player has in driving positive change.
