CLC Construct Zero Performance Framework Consultation
Posted: 6th October 2025
The Government has set out the importance of climate action - reducing our collective carbon emissions, as part of the wider work to address climate change and contribute to achieving net zero.
Since its launch at COP26 in Glasgow, Construct Zero has established itself as the sector’s net zero industry-change programme, bringing together nearly 300 companies ranging from SMEs though to companies with a global footprint, to co-ordinate the many initiatives taking place across industry and drive tangible process in reducing carbon emissions.
It is underpinned by nine priorities, drawn from the Committee for Climate Change’s 6th Carbon Budget, accompanied by a suite of metrics enabling the CLC to report publicly on the sector’s progress and challenges to net zero through the Construct Zero Performance Framework.
With the publication of the 7th Carbon Budget, we will be reviewing our nine priorities (together with the underpinning metrics and targets), to ensure alignment with the 7th Carbon Budget, and shape our future Performance Framework publications.
This consultation sets out a series of questions and invites your response via this form by 17:00 on 17th November. This is your opportunity to influence; state your views on how as a sector we should be measuring process and impact against the 9 priorities; and shape our future Net Zero approach to designing and building projects and buildings of all sizes. Further details to inform your response is here. This will be used to share our progress with Government and understand where we need to take further action in order to reach Net Zero.
