SUSTAINABLE TRANSITION

Cramer and Wim-Heerke Spronk, CEO of Renewbuilding and of Greentogether, will discuss technical and social innovations that ensure a sustainable transition in the building world. Innovations that Spronk, with his vision of making the building sector CO2-neutral, is keen to stimulate. He also works and thinks along these lines himself by developing innovative circular products based on 'wood'. I do that together with a team of specialists from the construction world and architects,' Spronk emphasises. 

CONCRETE AGREEMENT

Cramer is also chairman of the Concrete Agreement in progress. We are leading the way in the world,' says Cramer. This agreement contributes to a substantial reduction in the environmental impact of concrete and strengthens the innovative power and competitive position of participating companies and training opportunities for employees.
