26th November: Lunch & Learn with Colas
Decarbonisation | What does it really mean?
Discover more about the different scopes for carbon measurement and how this relates to the highways sector. The session will also explore the current rapid pace of change and bring an international perspective to broaden the perspective of decarbonisation before delving into some of the activities that have been undertaken in the UK. It will conclude with some practical next steps on how to start to tackle the decarbonisation journey.
There has been discussion on scope 1 & 2 and how we can reduce our carbon footprint within these, but what about scope 3 where it is more of a challenge? This session will examine scope 3 in more detail, what it means for the Highways sector, and what plans and actions we should be thinking about for the future.
