Overview
How can standards help us to manage carbon in infrastructure?
What guidance can they offer supply chain members on whole-life carbon management?
And how do standards aid the collaborative drive to decarbonise the built environment?
PAS 2080 is the globally applicable standard for managing carbon throughout the built environment. Covering the whole value chain, it aims to cut both carbon dioxide emissions and costs through intelligent design, construction and operation.
BSI Flex 350 is a standard designed to help infrastructure designers and contractors recommend that their projects use concrete technologies with smaller carbon impacts than those imposed by traditional mixes.
Thanks to ICE sponsorship, the latest versions of both PAS 2080 and BSI Flex 350 are available free from the BSI’s website.
To help those implementing PAS 2080, the ICE has published a free guidance document. The BSI also offers a PAS 2080 certification programme, enabling organisations to show their commitment to sustainable development.
This webinar will feature contributions from Welsh government officials who have applied PAS 2080 to the strategic road network, plus advice from experts on how to use both standards in concert. It will also include a Q&A session.
Questions:
- To what extent do you believe that carbon in infrastructure is being managed more effectively than it was?
- How can we ensure that the whole industry is on the same page regarding the need for whole-life carbon management?
- What good practices have you observed on projects, especially when it comes to applying PAS 2080 principles throughout the supply chain?
- What are we doing to embed decarbonisation and PAS 2080 / BSI Flex 350 with the next generation of engineers?

She is currently seconded from Transport for Wales, formerly leading on developing and delivering sustainability strategies and initiatives.
Now, she is working as the decarbonisation manager for the Welsh Government’s Strategic Road Network (SRN) Team.
As part of this role, she is analysing current operations to identify pathways to ensure the consideration of whole life carbon in support of Welsh Government’s net zero targets and driving change.
Most notably, she developed a pathway for implementing PAS 2080:2023 across the SRN before taking some time off for maternity leave and is now working closely with trunk road agents to embed it within all major projects.
