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 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.
