Graham<\/a> has commenced a series of workshops to help achieve its ambitious pledge to reduce its carbon emissions by 50% by 2030<\/h2>\n

The working group, with representatives from across the company\u2019s various divisions as well as a number of design consultant partners, met online for the first time in November to discuss the wider carbon agenda<\/a> and the importance of design in shaping and influencing the delivery of net-zero carbon buildings.<\/p>\n

A \u201cvirtual project\u201d to trigger ideas, innovation, and potential future initiatives was also part of the initial session.<\/p>\n

Involving the expertise of key design consultants supported discussions around how we collaborate as a multi-disciplinary team to meet Government objectives<\/a> and enabled us to share best practice across organisations.<\/p>\n

Making a plan of action<\/h3>\n

Graham\u2019s head of environment, Lianne Taylor, who chairs the workshops, is confident that the net-zero carbon sessions will frame the agenda moving forward and drive best practice across the company.<\/p>\n

Lianne said: \u201cCollectively, we are working hard to achieve our science-based targets relating to carbon.<\/p>\n

“2030 and 2045 may seem a long way into the future, but these net-zero carbon workshops will help us plot a course of action that will ensure we remain on track to meeting our future commitments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe built environment contributes around 40% of the UK\u2019s total carbon footprint<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Collaborating with teams across the business and our supply chain is particularly beneficial as we are drawing on shared experiences to identify ways to support how we can more effectively regulate and minimise these emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n
