Within each conference theatre there was a clear emphasis on the current external challenges, such as inflation and climate emergency, and what industry solutions and projects are being developed to help tackle these issues.
Our own campaign, Project Highways Zero, was featured on our exhibition stand. The PHZ campaign was designed to highlight the carbon emission reductions possible, whilst improving highway safety, durability, and sustainability, to help support the government decarbonization strategy and goal to reach net zero carbon usage, by 2050.
