Launch of Sustainable Procurement in Construction Guide on 5 April 2011

Due to industry demand, CIRIA has produced industry guidance on sustainable
procurement in construction. Achieving high standards of sustainable procurement
throughout the supply chain can be a complex task. There are many diverse sources of
information on specific aspects, but there is a lack of cohesive, overarching industry-led
guidance.

The guide has received input from stakeholders across the public and private sectors, and
provides a holistic perspective on key issues and principles of sustainable procurement in
construction. It covers a broad definition of sustainable procurement, from social issues
to materials sourcing, and has been developed using CIRIA's tried-and-tested format for
gaining industry consensus.

Sponsors of the Guide include CIRIA, Action Sustainability and Envirolink Northwest.
If you are interested in achieving higher standards of sustainability in construction through
procurement, or simply need an update on current thinking in sustainable procurement for
construction, come along to this free event.
