Time: 09:00 – 12:00
Location: Temple Group, 58-60 Katharine’s Way, London, E1W 1LB
Sustainability presents a unique challenge to the construction industry. As the need to improve cities and infrastructure grows, so too does the need to protect and safeguard the environment. If sustainable means lasting and enduring, then sustainability needs to be embedded into our projects, if we are to contribute to sustainable economic development.
Temple has developed some key insights into sustainability in construction, in particular:
- Use of intelligent resource planning to reduce cost and risk
- Creating a shift in the key success factors for the construction of key infrastructure
- Empowering staff and supply chain to implement sustainable strategies as part of the “day job”
Sustainability is one of the 12 categories of the Constructing Excellence Awards. This interactive session will include presentations from the Winner and Highly Commended finalists who will share the detail behind their success.
Why attend?
- Develop a vision of what ‘Sustainability’ would look like for your own business
- Learn how our winners have embedded sustainability to maximise success
- Gain new strategies and practical approaches for overcoming barriers
- Engage in facilitated discussion to discover how these ideas could translate into innovative approaches in your own business
- Leave with inspiration to implement positive change.
