Join AGC for an Introduction to Climate Change in Construction

Monday, July 15, 2024; 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM; St. Louis, MO

AGC’s half-day introductory seminar to climate change and carbon reporting for the construction industry will kick-start your company’s efforts to meet market demands and potential regulatory requirements. Applicable to all construction markets, the seminar uses AGC’s new Decarbonization and Carbon Reporting Playbook as a guide. Attendees will learn foundational information about reporting specific to construction from how to assess your obligations on projects, sources of emissions, and best management practices to collect data. Figure out emissions from your fuel and energy use as well as how to approach those emissions commonly associated with the supply chain. Along the way, discover tips for further reducing emissions. The seminar will close with a look at popular reporting frameworks and tools through lectures and guided discussions. Register here.
