Listen as BIM Academy Director, Paul Thorpe talks to Multiplex’s Head of Sustainability, Maria Fernandez Cachafeiro about the enormous pressure on the construction industry to reduce its carbon emissions.

Maria has over 10 years’ experience driving social and environmental sustainability within the built environment, both in the UK and internationally and at Multiplex she is responsible for all aspects of ESG. As a member of the World Green Building Council’s Corporate Advisory Board, the BCO (British Council for Offices) ESG Committee and co-chair of the Supply Chain Sustainability School’s Modern Slavery group, she is a passionate sustainability champion.

Paul asks Maria, we know there is an urgency to decarbonise construction, and in the UK, construction accounts for around 30% of total annual carbon emissions, so how do we reduce this number? Can digital construction methods help us to reduce carbon emission and if so, how? Listen to the podcast now to hear Maria’s response!
