Carbon reduction plans required to bid on large government contracts to meet Net Zero 2050, That said, it’s becoming for of a priority for many principal contractors - rightly so! So, how can you reduce embodied carbon for your M&E support installations while still keeping your business afloat? 3 words: 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺. Sourcing and installing these can help you because: ✔ Design-optimised supports (inc. safety factors) remove the need for ‘over-engineering’. That means only components needed will be used, so material waste is reduced. ✔ The risk of failure and costly rework is reduced, thank to the ‘right-first-time' approach, therefore they’re more sustainable. ✔ As all components are from a single source, it reduces the amount of carbon footprint from multiple deliveries. Don't get me wrong! There is a lot more that can be done to reduce embodied carbon. But tested channel systems is a stride in the right direction, that ticks many boxes in one solution.

🔧🌏 How do you handle product repairs in your country? In the EU, many consumers face challenges when trying to repair their goods, leading them to opt for replacements instead. Repairing can often be too difficult or expensive. To address this issue, the European Commission has proposed a Right to Repair Directive, aiming to facilitate and make cost-effective repairs more accessible to consumers. When the product guarantee has expired, these are key measures to empower consumers: 1. The right for consumers to claim repairs from producers: This ensures that consumers have a reliable channel to turn to when they choose to repair their products. It also encourages producers to adopt more sustainable business models, emphasising repairability and longevity. 2. Only references to substantiated sustainability labels would be allowed in the future. This means no more vague claims like 'eco' or 'green’ without demonstrating environmental excellence. 3. Discouraging consumers to replace products prematurely, before this is necessary. By making repairs more accessible, affordable, and reliable, we can reduce unnecessary waste and foster a circular economy.

🌍 “The report documents our progress towards achieving our 2025 sustainability targets. It shows the areas where we need to improve, celebrates where we have made positive progress and pays tribute to the hard work of our teams. For example, we reduced our Total Recordable Incident Rate from 9.1 in our 2019 baseline year to 5.9 in 2022 and we welcomed a record 83% response rate in our 2023 engagement survey," said Dominique Bossan, our CEO for Europe, Middle East and Asia, and Member of the Knauf Group Management Committee. 🌱 Find out more about our sustainability in our ‘Sustainability Journey: 2023 Highlights’ report ➡️ https://hubs.li/Q02dth0R0 #knaufinsulation #sustainability #insulation #circulareconomy #OEM

A brief guide on decarbonizing your logistics footprint: 1) Start with how the building is built - what materials are you using to build it? Are they sustainable? How are you addressing embodied carbon for these materials? 2) Then, decarbonize the operations within the building - what efficiency measures are you deploying, like LED lighting? Are you using your roof space to deploy onsite solar? What about unused land around your building, can you deploy energy storage solutions there to support resiliency? 3) Finally, focus on how goods move in and out of this building - the best time to charge your truck is when you are unloading it, are you deploying charging infrastructure to support your move to zero-emission fleets? That's a lot, and there's even more to consider - definitely easier said than done. For a more comprehensive explanation, check out John Hoekstra and William O'Donnell’s article in GreenBiz Group:

Federal and state green public-procurement programs — also known as Buy Clean programs — are designed to leverage the vast purchasing power of public agencies to spur decarbonization of dirty heavy industry. The U.S. government, for example, is the largest consumer in the world, spending more than $650 billion on products and services each year. Harnessing this purchasing power will reduce carbon in the atmosphere, send strong signals to the private sector and support clean, domestic manufacturing jobs. North American suppliers have cleaner, less carbon-intensive manufacturing operations than many of their international counterparts, whose manufacturing facilities may be subject to less environmental regulation. Buy Clean offers these domestic suppliers a competitive advantage against imports that tend to undercut them on price.
