Communication is a key link in the chain when it comes to measuring the 5 C’s - Construction, Carbonation, Concrete, Cement, and Clinker.


Join Shawn Kalyn, B.eng LEED AP bd+c, Sustainability and Technical Marketing – North America, Votorantim Cimentos, to discuss the American Cement Association (ACA) and the Cement Association of Canada (CAC), concrete roadmap 2030 and 2050 goals and implementation. Integrating new innovations in cement and concrete production involves using metrics like environmental product declarations (EPDs)and material solutions to connect and communicate solutions from cement manufacturing decarbonization to blended cements with supplementary materials to concrete plants transportation and material efficiency to carbon budgeting optimization solutions in construction. The designers and owners are key to the progression and the ability of the concrete industry to decarbonize.


The roadmap journey to be successful requires collaboration, education, and communication with many stakeholders, including policy makers, the standards organizations, design professionals, end users, and society as a whole. Road bumps can occur along the way, but thoughtful communication between all stakeholders will help move society forward and assist us in adapting to new sustainability challenges.
