The buildings materials sector is the next step in decarbonising our economy. Our climate crises demands that we help drive the supply chain to healthy, zero carbon, low impact materials ready for a circular economy. But what does this mean in practice and what steps can we take to ensuring that the products and materials we use are environmentally and socially responsible.  How can we take a transformative approach to supply chain management? 

Join us at this Insights session, where will we unpack our Responsible Products Framework, which seeks to raise the bar on products and outlines criteria for scoring how ‘responsible’ a product is, so supporting the built environment industry in adapting to and driving responsible supply chains. 

We will also examine how it is used to recognise initiatives that a product or manufacturer can comply with for the purposes of contributing to a Green Star certification.

This session is aimed at product suppliers and manufacturers and is a must for those wanting to be across the latest changes.

The university and education sector has shown real leadership and excellence in achieving sustainable built environments for their students and communities.  In this webinar, we share leading case studies which include fascinating innovations such as dynamic digital media façade design and sun shading at Edith Cowan University and new building with roof top PV and electrochromic glazing at University of Newcastle.

We unpack what can be learnt from these projects for improved outcomes in other sectors and settings.

Join our experts as they take you on their journey to achieving Green Star, including their challenges, lessons learned and reasons why building sustainable, strong, interconnected academic environment for students is important to them.  They explore what opportunities lay ahead for the industry and how it can be applied to your project.
