The prioritisation of green infrastructure projects through regulatory shifts like the EU Green Deal and the US Biden plan is high on the agenda for companies and investors.
Effective collaborative partnerships that bring together best practice and innovative infrastructure and sustainability proposals will be critical to industry transformation.
This webinar will present an investor view on how to decarbonise infrastructure assets; a water infrastructure company case study about its “road to carbon neutrality”, and the work of an industry collaboration partnership on sustainable infra.
