The AIL Group of Companies has committed to be net zero by 2050 and started accounting its journey in 2020.
From 2020 to 2022, the AIL Group of Companies reduced its Scope 1 and 2 carbon fiscal intensity (Tonnes CO2e/$ Revenue) from 13 t/$M to 9 t/$M, and at two of its larger facilities, increased its total percentage of energy from renewable sources from 6% to 25%. Additionally, the AIL Group of Companies has invested in reducing Scope 3 emission. An understanding of life cycle emissions of short and medium span bridge projects has been learned through ISO compliant environmental product declarations and life cycle assessment comparisons. These studies will help agencies better understand carbon impacts of bridge projects, empowering agencies to advance their net zero journeys. The AIL Group of Companies is also working with its supply chain and logistics partners to advance net zero progress.
