CapitaLand Development (CLD) has contributed to Singapore’s first market-wide reference for assessing the carbon footprint of concrete, created in collaboration with global coalition Climate Group’s ConcreteZero initiative.
The Concrete Data for Concrete Action benchmark, published on Feb 26, will help construction players identify and choose lower-carbon concrete options and reduce embodied carbon in the industry.
