Sustainable concrete
Cement currently ranks as the third largest source of human-generated CO2 – after power and transport. It accounts for roughly 7% of all anthropogenic emissions . Globally, we produce over 4bn t of cement per year, which equates to around 560kg for every person on earth – with demand for concrete rising faster than demand for steel or timber.
Demand for helium to double
Helium is a finite resource that plays a critical role across several industries including medical imaging, thermal management systems for batteries, aerospace engineering, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, semiconductor manufacturing and fibre optics. Helium’s high thermal conductivity, chemical inertness and cryogenic properties uniquely lend themselves to applications with limited or no available alternatives in some cases.
Diversity sparks creativity
Diversity and inclusion are important for any business. Increasingly, employers are recognising that recruiting a workforce from different cultures and backgrounds is not only progressive, but also makes good business sense.
