Reducing the Embodied Carbon of Concrete: A New Guide for Practical Procurement 

Looking to reduce the embodied carbon of concrete for your next project?

One of the biggest challenges isn't finding low-carbon concrete products—it's knowing how to specify and procure them effectively.  

The new CAGBC Low Carbon Concrete Procurement Guide addresses this gap directly. It offers practical, actionable guidance to help owners, designers, contractors, and suppliers confidently integrate low-carbon concrete into their projects, moving the conversation from ambition to implementation. 

Earlier this week, our Vice-President, Eric Dunford, had the opportunity to co-host a webinar introducing the guide and sharing procurement strategies that can help teams put this guidance into practice.
