Net-Zero Interiors
NETZERO NOW. Interiors
Launc hing 20.10 .20!
We pledge that: ✓ In Q4 2020 we will launch a consultation process with our key contractors, subcontractors and supplier partners to ensure that our supply chain will meet our net-zero targets. ✓ By the end 2021 half of our projects will be designed to be 100% Circular. By 2025 all of our projects will be designed to be 100% Circular. ✓ By 2030 all of our projects will be Net-Zero Embodied Carbon as demonstrated through a Whole Life Carbon Assessment
We will report progress every 6 months to the industry against the following criteria:
✓ =

How we will get there 1. Focus on one element in every project
4. Report on every project
6. Interior Circular Design Guidelines
8. All projects will be 100% circular
10. All projects will be Net-Zero Embodied Carbon

The UK produced 830 megatons of CO2 last year, including imports.
You would need the equivalent of 830 million trees to absorb that amount of carbon from the atmosphere.
The built environment alone is responsible for 40% of the UK’s total carbon footprint.
Fit out is responsible for 40% of energy in a building, and 300 tonnes of fit out goes to landfill every day.
The UK Government has set these targets: — All new buildings must operate at net zero cabon by 2030 — Every building must operate at net zero cabon by 2050 — Greenhouse gas emissions must be net zero by 2050

While a definitition of net zero for business interiors is yet to be agreed, the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) has proposed a working definitation as:
“
Achieving a state in which the activities within the value-chain of a company result in no net impact on the climate from greenhouse gas emissions.

If you can have a conversation about how much money a client is going to spend over the life of a building, or for the next 10-15 years, that's where the real value proposition comes in.

DRIVE CHANGE Conduct engagement forums with project partners
Clearly communicate the expectations for the project from the start
Provide detailed preliminary requirements
Always request/provide completed a PDS & EPDs
Approach to offsetting Offsetting should only be considered once all other means have been exhausted. If needed, offsetting should be done as locally as possible. This will ensure higher quality control and greater impact. The current London offset cost is ÂŁ95 per tonne of carbon.
