In the latest episode of the Accelerating Action podcast, Keith Dimech (Environment and Sustainability Manager) and Aaron Sacagio (National Environment and Sustainability Manager for Infrastructure and Major Projects), both from John Holland sit down with the Australian Water Association to discuss sustainability challenges in the construction and water industries.
The water sector is facing significant challenges and advancements in sustainability, particularly in decarbonisation to meet government targets and in understanding complex carbon footprints. Aaron and Keith emphasise the need for early engagement, collaboration, and the use of innovative materials to reduce carbon emissions without relying heavily on offsets.
Imminent changes in Scope 3 reporting legislation are impacting the industry, highlighting the importance of standardising data collection and reporting. The sector is also shifting towards research, development, and technology-agnostic approaches to achieve its sustainability goals.
