By Laura Hagan <\/span><\/p>\n In 2023, IMEG will begin its third year as a signatory firm of the Structural Engineers 2050 Commitment Program. The SE 2050 Commitment was created in response to and support of the SE 2050 Challenge, which calls on all structural engineers to understand, reduce, and ultimately eliminate embodied carbon in their projects. To help guide our teams in taking steps to reduce and sequester embodied carbon in the built environment, <\/a>IMEG\u2019s Structural Sustainability Task Force created an Embodied Carbon Action Plan (ECAP)<\/a>\u00a0 in 2022 and recently updated it for the year ahead. (Click on the image at right to read the 2023 ECAP.)<\/em><\/p>\n As we look back on our last year and a half and set new goals for the coming year, we\u2019re aiming higher and targeting bigger goals that will increase our impact in the effort to reduce embodied carbon in our projects and help our clients reduce their carbon footprint.<\/p>\n Some of our 2023 ECAP goals include:<\/p>\n Our Structural Sustainability Task Force continues to reflect on our progress and build upon these goals as we push to achieve net zero embodied carbon in our structures and identify both successes and setbacks. We are encouraging IMEG\u2019s team members to advocate for lower embodied carbon and are creating educational resources to help our clients reduce embodied carbon in their projects over the coming years.<\/p>\n We have certainly learned a lot and gained much experience over the past year and a half and we\u2019re looking forward to achieving these goals alongside our clients!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IMEG\u2019s Structural Sustainability Task Force is setting bigger goals for reducing embodied carbon in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":12093,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blogs","category-sustainability"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
