This question of ‘sustainability’ will be debated at a round table discussion on 22 June, chaired by Julie Hirigoyen, Chief Executive, UK-GBC, with industry representatives including Marks & Spencer, BRE, Institution of Civil Engineers and Construction Products Association, while you can ‘share your ‘sustainability thoughts’ now at #SustainabilityIs or at www.ecobuild.co.uk

In a recent survey to over 2,000 industry figures, we found that sustainability is still at the top of the industry’s agenda, despite the shift in Government priorities. However, the drivers and definition of sustainability have evolved far beyond the original ‘green’ agenda.
We’re challenging you, the industry to define a set of common sustainability goals for the built environment and I urge everybody to unite to achieve this. With over 33,300 professionals attending Ecobuild, it’s the perfect platform for industry collaboration.
The outcomes will shape the Ecobuild 2017 conference programme, content and immersive experience at the event, culminating in an industry manifesto for sustainability to be published after the show.
