NEC and the Journey to Net Zero

EVENT DETAILS

The race for achieving net zero is high on everyone’s agenda, especially those working in procurement. In this branch event, we debunk some of the myths around decarbonisation and gain a deepened understanding of how to embed sustainability in procurement with further insights on how NEC contracts are managed at Mott McDonald

You will hear an overview of the new NEX X29 Clause (Climate Change) and understand how you can use and apply this in your procurement activity and contracts to achieve sustainable outcomes for your organisation.
