SIG announced as a Zero Carbon Business Champion

SIG in the UK has been announced as a Zero Carbon Business Champion by the CO2nstruct Zero programme team.

CO2nstruct Zero is the Construction Leadership Council’s response to the Government’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution and is backed by the Builders Merchants Federation. The aim of the CO2nstruct Zero programme is to drive carbon out of all parts of the construction supply chain by 2050 and to set out how the construction industry as a whole can meet the net zero carbon challenges set by the Government.

SIG UK’s proposals for its net zero carbon journey were assessed by the CO2nstruct Zero programme team and ultimately approved with the announcement of Zero Carbon Business Champion status made in January 2022.

Launched in March 2021, CO2nstruct Zero brings together organisations that are demonstrating leadership in relation to carbon reduction, sharing their good practice with others from across the UK construction sector, and providing a set of metrics that enables the sector, quarterly, to collectively measure its progress to net zero. Since its launch more than 70 Business Champions have committed to targeted carbon reduction, and to provide details of how they are achieving this to help those from across the wider sector.
