AGC of America is launching a first-ever task force -- the AGC Task Force on Decarbonization and Carbon Reporting -- to address the real challenges around reporting and reducing carbon emissions in the construction industry. Over the coming year, this newly formed Task Force will develop an industry playbook as well as deliver educational outreach on carbon reporting. The Task Force will hold a virtual townhall meeting for members on August 16 to offer an overview on the basics of carbon reporting.

For us to better understand the sustainability-related activities you currently engage in, please take this brief survey. Your feedback will help the task force develop resources that meet the unique needs of the construction industry. Take the survey now.
