Low Carbon Transition Plan- a business plan for construction.

For companies in construction, the task is three-fold:

• to de-carbonise their own business, andto encourage the same habits throughouttheir supply chain

• to provide the owners and occupiers of both new and existingstock with buildings that emit less carbon in their construction,operation and decommissioning – saving them money in the process

• to provide the infrastructure that will supply clean energy andsupport sustainable practices in other areas of the economy

IGT Report 2010

“Meeting the UK’s commitment toreducing carbon will affect every aspect ofthe built environment and has the potential toprovide the construction industry with a 40 yearprogramme of work creating great opportunities forgrowth in the sector.

“Through this joint Government and industry actionplan we are making a clear commitment to the lowcarbon transition which will create the certaintyneeded for construction companies to investin essential new skills, processes andproducts.”
