A further four members of the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) – including two merchant firms – have been announced as CLC Zero Carbon Business Champions in the first assessment round of 2022. GPH Builders Merchants, John A Stephens, Northstone Group and SIG Trading were amongst the eight companies whose proposals were assessed and approved by the CO2nstruct Zero programme team.
CO2nstruct Zero is a Construction Leadership Council (CLC) initiative that brings together organisations that are demonstrating leadership in relation to carbon reduction, sharing their best practice with others across the UK construction sector and providing a set of metrics that enables the sector to collectively measure its progress to Net Zero.
Since its launch in last Spring, over 60 Business Champions – including 24 BMF member companies – have committed to targeted carbon reduction and to provide details of how they are achieving this to help others on their journey.
Congratulating the BMF’s latest Zero Carbon champions, BMF CEO John Newcomb said: “There has never been greater attention on climate change and carbon reduction and everyone involved in the built environment has a huge role to play. CO2nstruct Zero has provided a standard for the whole industry to get behind and I am delighted that BMF members are continuing to demonstrate their commitment to the programme.”
The CLC runs an ongoing monthly application programme for Zero Carbon Business Champion status. If any BMF member would like to be considered, please email June.Upton@bmf.org.uk for full details.
