Embodied carbon: The missing half of GHG emissions
Many corporations do not understand the what and how when it comes to ESG and GHG Emissions performance or reporting.
Construction is known to be one of the largest contributors of carbon emissions globally. A staggering 40 percent of the world’s carbon emissions come from buildings alone and that number jumps to 70 percent if you include infrastructure. To help combat growing environmental concerns, corporations are continually making net-zero commitments that will require reducing carbon emissions over the coming years.
Yet many of those same corporations do not understand the what and the how when it comes to ESG and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions performance or reporting. This is especially true regarding carbon emissions from capital projects.
