The Path To Sustainable Building | The Real Leaders of Net Zero pt. 9
Did you know that construction, buildings, are responsible for nearly 40% of global CO2 emissions? That includes the emissions that come from processing the raw materials, think cement, think steel, and, even bigger, the emissions that come from operating and powering those buildings during their whole lifetime. Jan Jenisch, CEO of Holcim, a global leader in building materials, sat down with host Mark Wiedman at Holcim’s green cement plant in Switzerland to talk about the company’s plans to build greener by creating more sustainable building materials, recycling materials to build more new from the old and how they're increasing building efficiency.
