Suffolk convenes industry leaders and influencers to discuss sustainability and green building trends

BOSTON: Suffolk, one of the largest and most innovative construction enterprises in the country, recently hosted the Suffolk Climate Tech Forum at its Boston headquarters. The event was co-hosted by Suffolk's Sustainability Group and Suffolk Technologies, the venture capital affiliate of Suffolk that invests in early-stage built world startups, to convene industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, contractors, designers and public officials and tackle the urgent climate challenges facing construction.

The Forum focused on overcoming adoption barriers and accelerating climate technology implementation, including innovative materials, industrial decarbonization, renewable energy and data-driven sustainability tools. This gathering showcased Suffolk's commitment to transforming the construction industry through innovation and practical sustainability solutions that can reduce emissions while maintaining project efficiency and economic viability.

"The construction industry is at a critical juncture in addressing climate change, with nearly 40 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions attributable to the construction and operation of buildings," said Steven Burke, senior director of sustainability at Suffolk. "Our Climate Tech Forum represents our commitment to not only implementing sustainable solutions on our own projects but sharing knowledge and creating frameworks that can help transform the entire industry."

“Driving meaningful climate action in the construction industry requires innovation and collaboration with multiple stakeholders throughout the entire ecosystem,” said Nick Dhimitri, Executive Vice President at Suffolk. “By joining together thought leaders, change-makers and influencers at our Climate Tech Forum, we are imagining a more sustainable future and building a clearer roadmap to turn that vision into reality.”

The Forum focused on three key areas: circularity, industrial decarbonization and software solutions. The event featured startup pitches, real-world case studies, and interactive breakout sessions. Innovative climate tech solutions highlighted included Sublime Systems' low-carbon cement alternatives, Pozzotive's process for converting post-consumer glass into concrete additives, and Tangible's AI-powered tools that streamline building lifecycle assessments to optimize material choices for more sustainable designs.

Through its strategic investments in technology, data analytics and AI-driven processes, Suffolk is delivering the next generation of sustainable construction to help clients achieve environmental goals without compromising timelines or budgets. The Climate Tech Forum exemplifies Suffolk's commitment to shifting the industry by establishing standardized, scalable methods to implement climate solutions across all projects. As Suffolk continues to expand its capabilities and partnerships, it remains focused on the goal of delivering more predictable, sustainable results that create lasting value for our clients and the communities in which we build.
