Net Zero Construction Summit 2024 | Future Place | 25 March 2024 | Doltone House Hyde Park, 3/181 Elizabeth St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

While most seem to recognise the imperative of taking decisive climate action, not all construction industry leaders are currently pursuing an aggressive enough strategy to deliver net-zero carbon emissions — let alone trying to achieve zero carbon footprint for their projects and business operations by 2050.

Companies from across the construction value chain — from architects and engineering firms – to materials manufacturers – to suppliers and distributors – contractors and operators— should avoid seeing actions that lead to decarbonisation as yet another check-the-box compliance exercise. Rather, it’s a huge opportunity for companies to generate profitable growth and differentiate themselves in the market using decarbonisation strategies.

This summit will provide a forum for industry leaders to come together to discuss the policies, strategies, materials and technologies necessary to decarbonise the construction of buildings and infrastructure.
