Net Zero Guidance on Renewables and Offsets

The workshop will give an overview of UKGBC’s Renewable Energy Procurement and Carbon Offsetting Guidance. Given the complexity of these topics, this workshop will aim to provide a greater understanding of the principles and metrics behind them, and what it means to procure renewable energy and carbon offset in a way that will have the most impact in terms of sustainability.

Hearing from UKGBC topic expert Emily Huynh and featured organisations spanning the built environment value chain, we will be exploring the following questions:

1. What is renewable energy procurement and what are the principles for best practice?
2. What is carbon offsetting and how can the environmental integrity be assured?
3. How are organisations procuring high quality renewable energy and utilising carbon offsetting for their buildings or organisational strategies?
4. What are the key actions needed by the industry over the next decade?

There will be a practical workshop session to understand how the learnings can be applied to your building or organisational strategy.
