Decarbonizing the AEC Value Chain, From Manufacturers to Developers

Achieving significant progress hinges on the involvement of every stakeholder not only working to reduce their own carbon footprint, but working together to meet the challenges posed by climate change.

Decarbonizing the AEC industry requires global collaboration from everyone in the value chain. Achieving significant progress hinges on the involvement of every stakeholder not only working to reduce their own carbon footprint, but working together to meet the challenges posed by climate change. In a panel session hosted in our New York headquarters, experts from building design, development and material manufacturing talked about where we are today and what it will take for us to get to net zero. Taking part in the discussion, moderated by Associate Principal Michael Cropper, were Myrrh Caplan of Skanska, Jennifer Dudgeon of Hines, Nucor Corporation’s Tim Hill, William Horgan of Grimshaw and Heidelberg Materials’ David Perkins.


Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing our society. And because it affects everyone, it demands our creativity, passion and collaboration to build a better, more enduring world.
