Construction Carbon win CBRE Tech London Advocates Net Zero Challenge
Construction Carbon, a Proptech company that focuses on reducing carbon emissions in the construction industry, has won the Tech London Advocates CBRE Net Zero Carbon challenge. The challenge, launched by Tech London Advocates and CBRE, sought to identify and support innovative technology solutions that can help the real estate sector achieve net-zero carbon emissions.
It was to put forward a consistent approach to sharing information of existing and new construction and fit-out materials, particularly concerning environmental impact and circularity, between landlords and tenants, to support their circular reuse at end of life and reduce resource use associated with the built environment. Construction Carbon was selected as the winner of the challenge for their innovative and collaborative approach to reducing carbon emissions in the construction industry.
Construction Carbon’s mission is to enable all responsible construction stakeholders to hit their Net Zero goals through accessible turnkey solutions, straightforward processes and trusted industry-backed verification.

Their innovative solutions and tools offer a practical and effective way for construction companies to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve their sustainability goals. Mark Jenkinson from Tech London Advocates, said; “we were pleased to give Construction Carbon this award in recognition of their efforts to enhance collaboration and accessibility of the journey towards Net Zero for the construction industry.”
Matthew Ingham from CBRE said; ““We put together the challenge knowing that it was a daunting task for any one company. Whilst it was difficult to select a winner from such a strong field of candidates, we selected Construction Carbon due to their ongoing efforts to bring rigour and access to embodied carbon assessments; making net zero carbon in construction more achievable for all built environment stakeholders.”
Speaking about the win, Construction Carbon CEO Gilbert Lennox-King said:: "We are delighted to have won the Tech London Advocates CBRE Net Zero Carbon challenge. Our platform is designed to help accessibility and consistency for construction companies to take real action on reducing their carbon emissions, and we are thrilled to be recognized for our efforts.
