The Lane Construction Corporation’s Post

🌍 There is a pressing need to shift towards a new mindset for infrastructure development, emphasizing the importance of planning, prioritizing, and incorporating societal and environmental benefits in the early stages of projects. This can ensure infrastructure projects not only meet their objectives but also contribute to a greener and more sustainable future. Discover more in this article authored by Motoko Aizawa, President, Observatory for Sustainable Infrastructure and Elizabeth Losos, Executive in Residence, Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability, Duke University and Executive Advisory Committee member for the FAST Infra Label. The FAST Infra Label is designed to help highlight and drive capital to positive initiatives in upstream planning across infrastructure sectors around the world. Join us in this transformative journey towards a more sustainable and nature-positive future!

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in civils and commercial infrastructure projects, from dealing with the environmental impact of construction to the long-term maintenance of the structures. #Sustainability #Infrastructure #Civils By taking a sustainable approach, we can ensure that these projects are not only practical, but also contribute to a greener future. For example, the use of renewable energy sources, the development of efficient transport networks and the introduction of smart city concepts are all ways to create sustainable civils and commercial infrastructure. It's clear that sustainability is the way forward, and it's time to think about the long-term benefits of these projects, rather than just the short-term gains. #ThinkLongTerm #GreenFuture #SustainableDevelopment

There is desire within the industry to decarbonise, but there is plenty more to be done to ensure that carbon is reduced, progress is measured and improvements are celebrated consistently and robustly, using whole-life carbon (WLC) assessment. 🌿 Jamie Blunden, principal carbon consultant within Nature Positive’s carbon team, will explore what WLC assessment is, when it can be introduced into a project or asset plan and how it is used to manage emissions. 🌿 Jamie has extensive experience addressing sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions within the construction industry, where he has worked with clients at both project and organisational levels. 🌿 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲. https://lnkd.in/eB6bkiTn #carbon #construction #naturepositive

🌍 CO2Next Project Progresses Towards Developing Crucial CO2 Infrastructure in Rotterdam 🌱 The CO2Next project is advancing its efforts to build essential CO2 infrastructure in Rotterdam. This development is crucial for supporting carbon capture and storage initiatives. The project aims to reduce emissions and enhance sustainability in the region. Collaborative efforts are key to achieving these environmental objectives. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eqYYw_cn #Sustainability #Europe #CO2Infrastructure #Environment #Collaboration

Infra projects are key to India's economic growth. This could lead to direct conflict in the achievement of India's social and environmental goals, unless a sustainable infrastructure development model is adopted for projects. Happy to share the summary of our work done on sustainability ratings for infra projects in India...Many thanks to The Infravision Foundation for collaborating with Envint on the same...

Eight companies involved in #international #construction have made it onto the first Time Magazine-Statista ranking of the world’s 500 most #sustainable companies. They include #infrastructure builders Eiffage, Webuild, and Ferrovial, and #design and #engineering consultants Stantec and WSP. To get on the list, companies must have signed up to #climate programmes like the 1.5°C target from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and receive high scores from CDP, formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project, a voluntary #emissions disclosure scheme. The organisers also assessed companies’ Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Scope 1 emissions are directly caused by a company, while Scope 2 are indirectly created when a company purchases #power. “It’s one thing for a company to give lip service to helping the #environment; it’s another for its leaders to make trackable, public commitments to doing better for the planet,” the organisers said. Stantec, ranked 13 of 500 WSP, ranked 53 of 500 Iberdrola, ranked 61 of 500 ACCIONA, ranked 86 of 500 Ferrovial, ranked 174 of 500 SACYR, ranked 254 of 500 Webuild, ranked 449 of 500 Eiffage, ranked 484 of 500 Excluded from the table are companies classed as “#carbon majors”, a category that includes #fossilfuel companies and cement makers. Organisers assessed companies’ emissions reductions in 2021 and 2022, the most recent years fully reported, and the proportion of #renewableenergy they use. They also favoured companies that have incorporated #sustainability into their business models. The title of most #sustainable company this year went to France’s Schneider Electric, which supplies #software and services for #energy management. Organisers were impressed with its target to reach carbon neutral by 2025. It helps customers reduce emissions through its Sustainability Business, and has its own performance tracking system. It has scored “A” in the CDP climate disclosure programme for 12 years in a row.

The saying goes that you can't manage what you don't measure, so its great to see the launch of a new tool to do that more effectively on the drive to net zero. The Built Environment Carbon Database (BECD) is a free-to-access database provides detailed carbon data for completed construction projects, allowing us to calculate the embodied carbon in all elements of a project, rather than an estimated single value. As the first company to provide client-approved carbon data to the #BECD, Mott MacDonald is committed to helping the construction industry reduce its carbon footprint. Check out the #BECD today and see how you can use it to make more sustainable choices in your projects! #CarbonData #Sustainability
