Sustainability in Construction
Government policy and regulation, along with greater consumer awareness and concern, are key drivers influencing what construction customers expect from their suppliers in terms of sustainability.
Despite the problems of the recession, indicators are that sustainability will remain high on the agenda of both government and major clients. Companies must thus ensure that they and their sales teams are fully versed in the requirements of sustainability and how they can meet these.
While many see this as a burden and cost, it is an opportunity and will provide those companies that fully understand the issues with a chance to differentiate themselves from their competitors and ensure firm specification of their products.
Perhaps the greatest opportunity is the Green Deal, see our Green Deal Update for more information.
