Sustainability has moved from being an ill-defined industry buzzword to become perhaps the single most important issue that will face the industry over the years to come, according to EMAP.

Recently the concept of sustainability has moved from being an ill-defined industry buzzword to become perhaps the single most important issue that will face the industry over the years to come.

Concepts such as energy efficiency, carbon emissions and reduction of construction waste can no longer be ignored.

Focussing on the ways that the construction sector can respond to these increasing pressures, Green Week offers a chance to learn new skills and strategies from some of the most experienced names in sustainable construction, while networking with others who are facing the same challenges.

The Green Construction Summit will bring together the most forward-thinking industry leaders, in a two-day event to explore the business case for green construction, present best practice case studies, and provide clarification on key pieces of legislation.

The inaugural Green Construction Awards will also recognise those firms that have already made the first important steps down this path, providing the example for the rest of the industry to follow.

Both of these unique opportunities will allow you to hear from your peers as well as network with leading clients.
