Decarbonisation is on everyone’s agenda, but are we focusing on the right moments in a project to make a real difference? Across our industry, the pressure is rising: stricter regulations, growing investor expectations, and clients who need infrastructure that is not only high‑performing, but clearly low‑carbon. And yet… many efforts still focus on the visible part of the journey: greener machinery, cleaner sites, alternative fuels.
Important? Absolutely.
Enough? Not always.
What really moves the needle is what happens much earlier - during tendering, design and procurement, long before a site is even mobilised. That’s where most of a project’s carbon footprint is already determined.
This upstream reality has reshaped how BESIX works. In our latest LinkedIn article, four of our colleagues - each representing a key phase of the project lifecycle - explain how early decisions shape long‑term impact, and why decarbonisation must be treated as a strategic path from day one.
Our article covers:
- How tenders translate ambition into measurable commitments
- Why design choices can make or break carbon performance
- How procurement bridges intention with supply‑market reality
- And why execution still matters - especially when it keeps a promise made upstream
