This Lunch 'N' Learn will enable suppliers to:

• consider how they can bring forward ideas for innovation to reduce emissions
• work collaboratively to enable National Highways to reach its goal to make the road network net zero by 2050 and for net zero emissions from construction and maintenance by 2040
• find out how they can gain support from National Highways as they constantly evolve and to enable a proactive approach
• explore how to take forward their own innovative ideas to reduce emissions such as through cement, or steel or alternatives or find innovative ways to recycle materials.

The National Highways Scheme Delivery Framework (SDF), announced in 2021, brings together 50 supply chain partners to carry out up to £3.6 billion worth of renewals to keep England’s motorways and major A roads running safely and smoothly over a 6 year period.  The Supply Chain School is supporting the SDF suppliers and sub-contractors with training workshops to increase understanding, skills and performance on several key sustainability issues.
