Resilient & Sustainable Supply Chains: why Scope 3 is where delivery fails

Summary

Building resilient & sustainable supply chains: why Scope 3 is where delivery fails

Across the construction industry, our biggest environmental impact relates to Scope 3 emissions and wider supply chain performance. Scope 3 emissions dominate construction’s footprint, leading to a growing share of cost/risk exposure. Yet they are the hardest to reduce because they sit across a complex supply chain.

This symposium at Loughborugh University brings together industry stakeholders and academic experts to produce smart, innovative, and practical solutions. We will discuss what is blocking progress (measurement, product data/EPDs, contractual levers, capability/skills, traceability, and client requirements, and more), and what can be done now.

Who should attend

• Client-side, procurement and sustainability leads (public and private projects).
• Tier 1 contractors, consultancies and specialist suppliers, and subcontractors dealing with Scope 3 and low-carbon delivery.
• CIOB members and regional networks working on advancing the sustainability agenda.
• Academics and postgraduates interested in supply chains, carbon, procurement, resilience, skills and digital enablement.

What you will leave with

• Insights into the most pressing issues affecting sustainable project delivery across the industry.
• Actionable, practical and innovative solutions to help prepare you for future challenges.
• Connect with CIOB members and UK academics with shared interests,
• Information of ongoing work by CIOB.
• Opportunities for academic collaboration to solve wicked problems directly affecting your organisation.
