SPL, Green Roads Ahead 2025

Reflecting on SPL’s Green Roads Ahead Event

On January 30, 2025, industry leaders and sustainability advocates gathered at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London for SPL’s Green Roads Ahead event. It was an inspiring day filled with meaningful discussions, innovative ideas, and a shared commitment to reducing carbon emissions in the highways and infrastructure sector.

The event highlighted SPL’s collaborative efforts with industry partners to drive forward sustainable practices and decarbonisation initiatives. From exploring cutting-edge technologies to sharing best practices, the focus was clear: how can we work together to create a greener future for our roads?

One of the key takeaways was the importance of partnership in achieving meaningful progress. SPL showcased how collaboration across the supply chain—from material suppliers to contractors—can lead to smarter, more sustainable solutions. Whether it’s through low-carbon materials, energy-efficient processes, or innovative design, the event demonstrated that the path to net-zero is a collective effort.

The atmosphere at Lord’s was one of optimism and determination. It was inspiring to see so many industry professionals united by a common goal: to reduce carbon emissions and build a more sustainable infrastructure network.

As we look back on Green Roads Ahead, it’s clear that events like this are essential for driving change. They remind us that while the challenges are significant, so too are the opportunities—and that together, we can pave the way for a greener, more sustainable future.

Here’s to SPL and their partners for leading the charge and for reminding us all that the road to sustainability is one we must walk together.
