From words… to action!
“We truly have the ambition, through our daily work, to shape the sustainable cities and communities of tomorrow.”
When discussing sustainability, the construction sector cannot be overlooked. With 1.65 million tonnes of CO² emissions, it ranks second among the country’s most polluting sectors, just after transport.
However, in the face of the ecological emergency, a revolution is underway, transforming construction practices. This shift is driven by a deep desire for change, but must be adapted to the specific characteristics of each territory, as explained by Thierry Collin, Franck Doron, both Partners-Team Managers, and Meike Ensch, Team Manager at Betic, part of Sweco.
