It's sometimes very difficult for government to reach out to smaller organizations or people who are just not on our radar. We've got new objectives to get to clean heat by 2030 and to achieve clean power — the closer we get to that deadline, the more important it is to work together.
50% of all the carbon emissions we need to reduce as we get to 2050 come from the built environment — buildings, construction, logistics and infrastructure. There's no escaping the destiny here: it has to be the built environment that takes the lead.
Coming to FOOTPRINT+ always gets your head out of your books like you're back at university. It's really valuable if you take the time to meet people.

I've come to every FOOTPRINT+ so far to stay at the forefront of what the real estate industry is talking about — decarbonizing materials, decarbonizing buildings, working in new ways. I come to keep my knowledge up to date.
