Leading by Example: How Public Sector Clients Can Deliver Low Carbon Projects

The public sector is under increasing pressure to deliver ambitious infrastructure and building programmes while meeting legally binding net zero targets, improving social value and demonstrating best use of public funding.

 

With the publication of updated procurement legislation, increasing expectations around carbon reporting, and greater emphasis on whole-life value rather than lowest capital cost, public sector clients are being challenged to rethink how projects are commissioned and delivered.

 

Many organisations have made strong net zero commitments, but questions remain around implementation:

  • How can carbon reduction become a core project objective rather than an aspiration?
  • What procurement approaches encourage innovation and lower-carbon solutions?
  • How can public clients influence supply chains to accelerate change?
  • What lessons can be learned from projects already delivering measurable carbon savings?

This webinar will provide an opportunity to hear from organisations leading the way and explore practical approaches that others can adopt.

The discussion will cover:

 

  • The role of public sector clients in driving industry-wide carbon reduction.
  • Embedding carbon objectives from project inception through to delivery.
  • Procuring for whole-life value rather than lowest upfront cost.
  • Working collaboratively with consultants, contractors and supply chains.
  • Overcoming common barriers, including budget constraints, skills and organisational culture.
  • Real-world case studies demonstrating successful low-carbon delivery.
  • Future opportunities for public sector leadership in achieving net zero.
  • Using procurement and contract models to encourage innovation

 

This webinar will bring together public sector leaders, clients, consultants and contractors to explore how organisations can embed low-carbon principles throughout the project lifecycle. Through practical examples and lessons learned, the discussion will examine how leadership, collaboration and informed decision-making can help deliver projects that support both climate ambitions and long-term value for communities.
