The launch will be held by VIA in collaboration with Norconsult and Multiconsult and will take place on 26 April at 8.30 in Telegrafen, Kongens gate 21 in Oslo.

The construction industry will contribute to Norway reaching the target of a minimum 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. To achieve this goal, stricter climate requirements should be imposed so that public procurement changes its focus from only “more roads for the money” to “better and greener infrastructure for the money”. Such a change will not only help us reach our greenhouse gas commitments. The VIA report prepared by Norconsult and Multiconsult also shows that there is great potential for business development in Norway if ambitious climate requirements are made in the tender process. In cooperation with SINTEF, we invite you to the launch.
