Programme Highlight

Effective infrastructure is important to the prosperity of our nations and forms a backbone to the economy, facilitating and driving business. Today, key demands of infrastructure projects are lower capital and whole life costs, faster delivery and increased sustainability to meet current and future needs. Infrastructure must be developed and improved through major investment to deliver projects that are good value today yet meeting the needs of the future.

This seminar will look at the role of sustainability rating schemes in providing a robust and holistic framework which is used to support the development, management and long-term resilience of infrastructure megaprojects. It will investigate how these frameworks inform decision-making whilst being flexible to foster innovation. Lastly it will explore how rating schemes allow for comparison of performance across a sector in order to drive better practice, as well as offering a credible sustainability label.
