The paper proposed here focuses on how ongoing interaction practices in infrastructure projects between a supplier and a key customer are impacted by attempts at “becoming sustainable”. We direct the paper towards recent attempts by B2B scholars to address the ‘practice turn’ in social sciences (Tidström and Rajala, 2016 Peters and Pressey, 2016 Carter et al, 2017 Pedersen et al, 2018) by using practice theory and the IMP business interaction approach (Harrison, 2007 La Rocca et al, 2017). The empirical setting, a 27 kilometre sub- sea road tunnel named ‘E39 Rogfast Pluss’, which without any mitigation will produce 500,000 tonnes of CO2, is the first time the two actors have ‘tried out’ making a large infrastructure project sustainable.
