Keynote speakers are:
Adrian ShahCundy, Corporate Responsibility Director at VolkerWessels UK CARBON IN CONSTRUCTION Through the 2015 Paris Agreement, world governments committed to curbing global temperature rise to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and attempted to limit warming to 1.5°C. In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that it must not exceed 1.5°C. The UK became the first economy to pass a law to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. As the global recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic begins, our Government’s messaging remains clear; build back better, by building back greener.

Carol Massay, Head of Construction at Access Construction CONSTRUCTION SOFTWARE AND SUSTAINABILITY The construction sector is one of the greatest producers of polluting carbon emissions. According to the World Green Building Council, it generates an estimated 39% of the world’s carbon emissions, with the use of concrete alone accounting for a massive 8% of the world’s total annual CO2 production. The Access Group works with construction companies across the UK, transforming them with the help of their award winning construction software. Their cloud-based construction management system helps the companies become more sustainable by optimising operations, reducing waste and improving sustainability with every project. Carol Massay will explore three core themes that every construction business needs to achieve a successful and sustainable future.
