As issues of sustainability take an ever higher priority, it is very appropriate the ICE is focussing attention through this conference on sustainable procurement. This will be a very good opportunity to hear from some of the industry’s leaders and to consider and debate how to advance sustainability in procurement.
Nick Raynsford, Chairman, Construction Industry Council
The conference provides a tremendous opportunity to understand the imperatives for sustainable procurement, the policies, hearing about possible actions and then stimulating those attending to determine what they can contribute for our future. We must learn to harness the potential added social and economic value, and control the environmental impact, of this country’s significant construction spend.
David Wright, Regional Director, North East Centre of Excellence
