WISE Construction Group Holdings Ltd. – Climate Action Plan

To combat climate change, WISE Construction must integrate low-carbon strategies, renewable energy, circular practices, and carbon accountability into its operations. Here’s a structured climate action roadmap to reduce emissions, enhance sustainability, and comply with evolving regulations.

1. Carbon Footprint Assessment & Target Setting

✅ Conduct a GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Audit – Measure Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (indirect), and Scope 3 (supply chain) emissions.
✅ Set Science-Based Targets (SBTi) – Align with the Paris Agreement (1.5°C pathway) (e.g., 50% carbon reduction by 2030, net-zero by 2050).

2. Decarbonizing Construction Operations

A. Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Transition

☑️ On-Site Renewables – Install rooftop solar panels on offices and warehouses (~30% energy savings).
☑️ Efficient Machinery – Transition to electric/hydrogen-powered excavators (e.g., Volvo EC230 Electric Excavator) & hybrid cranes.
☑️ Smart Energy Monitoring – Use IoT sensors and AI to optimize energy use in real-time.

B. Low-Carbon Materials & Circular Economy Practices

☑️ Green Concrete & Alternative Binders – Replace Portland cement with geopolymer concrete (50-80% less CO₂).
☑️ Recycled & Bio-Based Materials – Use recycled steel (95% less CO₂ than virgin steel), CLT (cross-laminated timber).
☑️ Modular/Offsite Construction – Reduce waste and transport emissions via prefab systems.

C. Electrification & Clean Logistics

☑️ EV Charging Hubs – Switch company fleets to electric vehicles (EVs).
☑️ Green Logistics – Partner with biofuel/HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) trucking firms for material transport.

3. Policy & Industry Leadership

✅ Achieve ESG Certifications (LEED, BREEAM, ISO 14064) to boost investor and client trust.
✅ Mandatory Supplier Climate Policies – Require vendors to disclose carbon footprints and set reduction goals.
✅ Advocate for Stricter Regulations – Support carbon pricing & low-carbon construction mandates.

4. Carbon Offsetting & Removal (For Unavoidable Emissions)

☑️ Invest in High-Quality Offsets (verified via Gold Standard/VCS).
☑️ Nature-Based Solutions – Fund reforestation projects, mangrove restoration, or peatland conservation.
☑️ Carbon Capture in Construction – Explore carbon-absorbing concrete (e.g., CarbonCure, Blue Planet).

5. Employee & Stakeholder Engagement

✅ Green Training Programs – Educate workers on sustainable building practices.
✅ Net-Zero Partnerships – Join WorldGBC’s Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment.
✅ Clients & Tenants – Offer carbon-neutral building options (with embedded offset costs).
