Sustainability

Independent research carried out by Construction News shows that the whole issue of sustainability is much more popular with large companies than small ones. There is suspicion and resentment amongst sub-contractors that they are being forced to bear the brunt of being pioneers, with many in the industry feeling that Government targets are unrealistic and customers demands are too harsh. There is a huge risk that those promoting sustainability will actually end up patronising the very people who can make it a reality. This cannot be allowed to happen, we must remain resolutely practical. For these reasons, it can seem virtually impossible for as construction industry professionals like yourself to make the Green Vision a reality.

That is why this supplement is an indispensible resource for anyone within the construction industry. This report demonstrates how a hugely diverse range of companies are reacting to the challenge of sustainability. The Green Construction Awards are judged by a panel of sustainability experts, from the environment agency right through to those specialising in construction and architecture.

Find out who are the winners and finalists and most importantly for you, how they managed to succeed in the minefield that is sustainability.
