DB Group’s strategy is focused on improving sustainability within the construction sector, and the company seeks to reduce their environmental impact in everything they do. That’s why, in 2015 they introduced Cemfree® ultra-low carbon concrete which was a complete game changer for the construction industry that achieves dramatic embodied carbon savings of up to 88% in concrete. This innovative technology was developed in-house to ensure every detail was exactly as it should be. It has since won multiple awards and continues to excite and impress the industry in equal measure.
Local production and use of Cemfree ultra-low embodied carbon concretes can play a part in the Councils plans for more sustainable development across Greater Cambridge, replacing environmentally damaging cement-based concretes and demonstrating its commitment to the low carbon agenda.
Ensuring that businesses and employment opportunities within the District are also focussed on achieving net zero carbon by 2050 will be essential to the Council achieving this goal. The Council should be proactively working with DB Group, and companies like them, to ensure that the Council enables them to achieve their full potential in terms of contributing towards this goal.
