The Australian Constructors Association is excited to join forces with other private sector peak bodies and federal agencies in launching the ‘Infrastructure Net Zero’ joint initiative today.
Jon Davies, CEO of the Australian Constructors Association, said the Infrastructure Net Zero initiative underscores the close collaboration between government and industry in creating a clear path for the sector to reach net zero emissions.
“We are entering a time where we need everything all at once – net zero, decarbonisation, sustainability – and navigating the policy landscape is challenging,” said Mr Davies.
“This initiative will help to join the dots.
“If we are to reach our goal, we need to start doing things differently now.
“The immediate priority areas will include defining net zero for infrastructure, reaching alignment between public and private sectors, uplifting capability in the supply chain and procuring for net zero.
“The path to net zero is a collaborative one and we are already on our way.
