To accelerate progress in reducing Scope 3 emissions we will: Work with our suppliers to embed Scope 3 data capture and reporting across all projects globally Work with our strategic suppliers to develop emissions reduction targets Continue to invest in R&D to accelerate the development of low and zero carbon products manufactured off site at our UK facilities or with global partners Support the delivery of clients net zero ambitions through the wider use of our engineering carbon calculator to help optimise design for sustainability. In the last decade we have invested £200M in the Laing O’Rourke Centre of Excellence for Modern Construction (CEMC), which is the most advanced concrete products manufacturing facility in Europe. It will play a vital role in delivering the new goals by producing lower carbon components for more of our projects. With co-funding from the Industrial Strategy ‘Transforming Construction’ Challenge, we are working with nine partners to progress a project called Product Based Building Solutions, to streamline the end-to-end project delivery process with a kit of manufactured concrete components. The project is targeting 30% operational and 50% embodied carbon reduction. Alongside this, our R&D team is working on ways to decarbonise manufactured concrete products and the Laing O’Rourke Centre of Excellence for Modern Construction (CEMC) has secured a grant from Innovate UK’s Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF) to part finance this research.
