More than 20 civil engineers can officially call themselves Carbon Champions, with their efforts to quantifiably
reduce the carbon emissions on projects having been recognised by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).

 
To celebrate the sustainable efforts being made across industry, the institution has announced its first cohort of
ICE Carbon Champions at an online event, co-hosted with programme supporter Bentley Systems, today.
Twenty-seven individuals, working across nine projects in three countries, were praised for their work reducing
carbon emissions.

The first champions range from organisations including Stantec UK, Transport for London (TfL), BAM Nuttall,
Arup and Keltbray. The projects come from various regions in England, Scotland and the Middle East.

Lara Young, chair of the ICE Carbon Champions Review Panel, said: “Civil engineering is all about transforming
lives and improving the way we live. Finding sustainable ways to design, deliver and optimise infrastructure is a
critical for our generation.

“It’s been inspiring see such impressive carbon reduction efforts in practice, making tangible difference to the
way we live today. These individuals, and their teams, are building sustainable resilient infrastructure that is fit
for our futures, and to celebrate that is important.”

About the ICE Carbon Champions initiative

The ICE Carbon Champions programme recognises decarbonisation efforts from across the civil engineering
community, and provides recognition for project owners as well as best practice insights and expertise for the
wider industry.

The programme is part of ICE President Rachel Skinner’s Shaping Zero initiative, designed to enable civil
engineers to implement the drive to net zero. It forms part of the ongoing efforts of the institution to place the
decarbonisation of the industry at the heart of its, and the sector’s, agenda, in line with the United Nations'
Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).

Rachel Skinner, ICE President, said: “It is human nature to think that disasters and problems will happen to
someone else, somewhere else, but the reality is climate change is and will continue to affect each and every
one of us – and we all have a responsibility to make positive change.

“These individuals, through their hard work and innovative thinking, are doing just that – delivering real change
within the industry to help reduce the amount of carbon produced by infrastructure. In celebrating these
achievements we want to recognise this, but also educate and inspire others to look at what they can do in their
own projects.”

How to become an ICE Carbon Champion

Teams or individuals can apply to be recognised as Carbon Champions. They are required to give details of the
project they work on, as well as the carbon saving they have made or plan to make, uploading their calculations
and methodology as evidence.

The projects will be used as case studies of carbon reduction in practice, creating data-driven insights and
raising awareness of how engineers are contributing to net-zero targets. The Champions will be the first
members of an all-new ICE Carbon Community, actively collaborating and seeking to implement and share
latest carbon reduction approaches.
