Embodied carbon: What’s happening globally and why must Australia get ready?

Greening and Preening
In the wake of the pandemic and the work-from-home revolution, landlords must offer space that ticks more boxes than ever before. The workplace must be safe and clean, enhance productivity, performance, health and wellbeing, accommodate flexibility and multiple workstyles, inspire collaboration and innovation, and act as a strong talent attraction and retention tool. Striking the right balance – and doing so on the right budget – is a big challenge for every landlord. In this Kaizen paper we explore what the real cost is of ‘Greening and Preening’ your building.
