Case Study

The technology sector is under increasing pressure to reduce its contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions. And as big tech companies race to be the first to net zero, the solutions they are finding aren't always the most obvious for tech giants.
Meta, while looking at how they power and run their data centres, is also focusing on how they build them. Research scientists Amruta Sudhalkar, and Julius Kusuma are using AI to help them find concrete mixes which are strong enough for the job, but offer a vastly reduced carbon footprint. Hear how their exciting discoveries may have much wider implications for sustainable construction elsewhere.

So how can we make sure developing countries build and grow in a way that allows them to adapt to climate change and mitigate its effects?

Best Practice

Climate change is happening, and we will have to change with it. In a world full of uncertainty, what's one thing you can change in order to make your business more sustainable?

We've all heard about the health benefits afforded by time spent in nature, but what if we brought those benefits to the office? In urban environments access to green space can be limited, but as Dr Angela Loder, VP of Research at the International WELL Building Institute, explains, investment in bringing the outside in can have a positive impact on both employee wellbeing and productivity.
