What you need to know
As the construction industry works to reduce its environmental impact, the conversation around materials is evolving — and concrete is part of that shift.
This webinar explores how concrete fits within the Green Star Responsible Products framework, and how its sustainability performance is improving beyond just carbon.

- How concrete aligns with Green Star Responsible Products
- The role of certifications, EPDs and verified performance

We also run regular webinars examining specific products and materials, and their relationship with green building certifications.
Demand for these webinars is increasing as our members ask for a range of themes and topic to build market readiness for the increased focus on carbon and the changes coming through certifications.
