Abstract
In recent months, industry leaders have been buzzing about the looming 2050 Net Zero Carbon goals and how we must strengthen our push to reach or exceed 2030 targets if we have any hope of meeting those set for 2050. At the same time, more organisations within the industry are giving or renewing pledges to become transparent about how they are working to meet net zero goals and incorporate sustainability into every aspect of their businesses. In this CIS in Brief, we take a quick look at what sustainability is and what areas we should be addressing in our projects.
