    AS Singapore’s largest ready-mix concrete provider, with a market share of about 40 per cent, Pan-United Corporation sees plenty of potential in driving the adoption of sustainable concrete.

    In its annual report released in April this year, the company committed to supplying only low-carbon concrete by 2030 and pledged to offer carbon-neutral concrete products by 2040. And by 2050, the aim is to be carbon-neutral.

    Pan-United’s chief executive, May Ng, said the company is investing about 2 per cent of its revenue in research and development to make its products more sustainable.
