Skanska going for net zero by 2045 without offsets is a big claim. Would be interesting to see how they plan to handle scope 3 in concrete supply chains.

Yeah scope 3 is the hard part. Cement alone is like 8% of global CO2. Curious if any of these firms are using carbon capture or just relying on offsets.

Turner having 1000+ green building projects is decent volume but I wonder what criteria they use. LEED certified or something stricter?

LEED is fine but it doesn't always track operational energy well post occupancy. Would rather see actual kWh per sq ft data.

These rankings are useful for benchmarking but revenue alone doesn't tell you if they are actually cutting emissions per dollar of work. Need carbon intensity metrics.
