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.”
