Organizations: Australian Institution of Building “AIB” Dept. of Building & Real Estate, HK PolyU
Co-organizer: Alliance Construction Materials Limited

Content: In Hong Kong the low-carbon transition is already underway which pushes the shift to low carbon emission in all sectors. To address the climate protection and carbon reduction Alliance has measured the carbon footprint of their aggregates and concrete operations since 2008 and has the embodied carbon of their concrete products measured. In this seminar, the speakers would introduce some of the rocks products and concrete mixes that are used in Hong Kong, and the eco-conscious sourcing/ production procedures of them.

Risk management approach is applied in managing safety and quality for their logistics and production of rock products and concrete. To uphold cooperate’s social responsibility, sustainability shall also be the focus area of construction materials suppliers. Alliance, as one of the leading practitioner in this regard, would share their experience in this area. The experience sharing of Alliance’s carbon foot-printing will enable the understanding of some challenges in their carbon reduction journey, and the carbon reduction opportunities in aggregates and concrete manufacturing and supply sector.
