Carbon Reduction Code soft launch
Issue 1.0 of the Carbon Reduction Code for the Built Environment, part of the CLC's Construct Zero initiative, was published on 15th June.

The NACF - of which YORhub is a member - has contributed to the Carbon Code working group.

A full launch of the code is due in the autumn to coincide with the COP26 Climate Change Conference and in the meantime organisations are encouraged to sign up and commit to the code.

A copy of the code and recording of the launch event can be found on the Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC) website.
CLC issues Construction Product Availability Statement
The Construction Leadership Council has published its Construction Product Availability Statement addressing issues around materials and labour supply.

Demand for materials in the UK continues to outweigh available supply, coupled with a shortage of haulage drivers.

In its May update the CLC estimated that strong demand would continue for the next six months, and advises forward planning and transparency.
