ConcreteZero

Concrete production accounts for 7% of global carbon emissions. Demand for concrete is not slowing down with the size of Paris being built every single week over the next 40 years. The concrete industry becoming net zero is vital to halving carbon emissions by 2030 and limiting global temperature rise to 1.5C.

ConcreteZero is a global initiative that brings together pioneering organisations to create a market for net zero concrete. By harnessing the collective purchasing power and influence of ConcreteZero members, Theyre sending a strong demand signal to shift global markets, investment and policies towards the sustainable production and sourcing of concrete.
