Briefing: Sustainability accounting in the construction industry

Casella Stanger, Forum for the Future and Carillion plc recently completed a Partners in Innovation project called Sustainability Accounting in the Construction Industry. It is a highly innovative project, and is one of the first practical examples of sustainability accounting being applied in the UK. The project focused on developing methodologies for sustainability accounting and piloting them at the Great Western Hospital to develop the business case for sustainable construction. Methodologies are included within the full-colour report (freely available to download from www.casellastanger.com). A number of high-profile DTI/ICE and CIEF seminars are planned for March and April 2003 to promote this topic to a wider construction audience.
