Across the built environment, there is now clear consensus that the journey to net zero requires an industry wide approach.
BSI is committed to supporting the industry play its part in combatting climate change. We believe this will be achieved by collaboration, sharing expertise and experience from initial design of a built asset through to construction, ongoing maintenance and decommissioning. This approach recognises the importance of people, data and technology as the foundation for a more sustainable built environment.
This project brings together insight from global industry leaders representing organisations across the built environment life cycle. Underpinned by our survey, with industry responses across eight countries, we focus on some of the key issues and opportunities for collaboration. We’re grateful to specialists from across the industry for providing such valuable insights.
