BIBM Decarbonisation Pledge

he BIBM Decarbonisation Pledge (2023) is a strategic and forward-looking document developed by BIBM to outline the commitment of the European precast concrete industry to achieving a low-carbon and ultimately net-zero built environment. It sets out a comprehensive, value-chain approach to decarbonisation, covering all stages from design and material production to construction, use and end-of-life, and highlights key levers such as optimised structural design, low-carbon cements, circular economy practices and the use of renewable energy. The pledge also emphasises the importance of collaboration across stakeholders and calls for a supportive and technology-neutral policy framework, recognising mechanisms such as carbonation and carbon capture as part of the solution. Aimed at policymakers, industry actors and the wider construction ecosystem, the document positions the precast concrete sector as an active contributor to climate mitigation and advocates for coherent regulatory and market conditions to enable the transition.
