What – Sustainability…?
• “Development that
meets the needs of the
present without
compromising the
ability of future
generations to meet
their own needs”
-
Bruntdland Definition
What – Sustainability?
• Living within environmental
limits
- 1.8 Global hectares per
capita
- 2 Tonnes CO2 per capita per
year
• Living in an equal world
- Gini coefficient 0.25 to
0.35
- Ratio of most
advantaged to least
advantaged
Inter-Government Panel on Climate Change
• CO2 levels highest for
650,000 years
• Climate change
“unequivocally” happening
• Global temperature will rise
between 1.8oC and 4oC in
the next century, worst case
6.4oC
• In the worst case, Trafalgar
Square would be under
water

Inequality
-
•
25% of London’s Black Caribbean community is unemployed compared to 2.5% of the
Indian community
25% of the UK population has a physical or mental disability
3.8M children were living in poverty in the UK in 2005/6
Health
-
•
If the whole world lived like Western Europe we would need 3 planets resources to
sustain life
UK childhood obesity is increasing at the same rate as the USA, we are breeding a
generation that will have a shorter life expectancy than their parents
Average male life expectancy in Tower Hamlets is 7 years shorter than Kensington
Waste
-
Landfill capacity is likely to be non-existent within 20 years

support wider social,
economic and
environmental objectives,
in ways that offer real
long-term benefits”.

Government response
•
•
Clear commitment to meet the
challenge laid down by “Procuring the
Future”. Implementation is to be part of
the personal objectives of senior staff.
There is a clear proposition for
leadership from the Ministerial
Committee on Energy and the
Environment through the Defra Minister
acting as “Lead Minister” and a
Permanent Secretary Champion. OGC
have a role to embed sustainable
practice into the procurement
profession.
Flexible Framework receives
conditional endorsement. Use is
endorsed for now, pending “New
Procurement Framework” from OGC and
“where it helps to improve procurement
practice”. There is no mandatory
requirement to apply the Flexible
Framework.
•
•
•
•
Environmental impacts only. Climate
change mitigation and natural resource
protection are the highest priorities. The
plan makes reference to targets for
energy, water, biodiversity and waste
(recycling). There are no specific targets
related to recycled materials,
environmentally sensitive materials or
ethical, social or economic issues.
New guidance from Treasury. New
Green Book guidance from Treasury is
expected to provide greater clarity
around environmental appraisal during
2007.
Help is at hand (eventually). Defra is
tasked with consulting during 2007 with
a view to establishing a Centre for
Sustainable Procurement Excellence.
Reinforcing mandatory standards.
Mandatory standards for timber, vehicles
and use of “quick win” products are to
be implemented.
Government response

•
Watchdog role for Sustainable
Development Commission. The UK SDC
is to have a role in scrutinising
departments’ achievement against this
agenda in 2008.
Focus on key sectors. Particular
reference is made to estates,
construction projects, capital
expenditure, facilities management, IT,
energy, travel and vehicles. Clothing,
food and health/social care are also
referenced in the body of the document.
The initial priority is given to the
construction sector.
Risk management. Departments will be
expected to consider reputation risk in
their procurement activities. This is
referenced in the summary but there is
no further expansion of this important
subject in the body of the report.

EU Myth dispelled? The Introduction
sets out the context clearly and helps to
dispel the myth that EU procurement
rules are a barrier to sustainable
procurement
Local government response in Summer
07. This response refers to central
government departments only, which
represents £60Bn of the £150Bn
expenditure identified by the Task
Force. A local government response is
expected in “Summer 2007”.
Cross-Department PSAs. The intent to
set cross-cutting Public Service
Agreements to include sustainability
should help to support this agenda.

Water Cooled Chiller plant.
Zero emissions compared
to previous CFC versions
The Mayors Sustainable Design and Construction Standards
50% timber and timber products from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) source and balance from a known temperate source.
Residential developments to achieve average water use in new dwellings of less than 40m3 per bedspace per year (approximately 110 litres/head/day).
Major developments should be zero carbon emission developments (ZEDs)
Major developments should make a contribution to London’s hydrogen economy through the adoption of hydrogen and/or fuel cell technologies and
infrastructure
90% structural timber from FSC source and the balance of timber products from a known temperate source
Residential developments to achieve average water use in new dwellings of less than 25m3 per bedspace per year (approximately 70 litres/head/day)
All residential development should be designed to meet wheelchair accessibility standards or be easily adaptable to meet wheelchair standards
Incorporation of or access to new waste recovery facilities (anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis/gasification) especially to provide a renewable source of energy eg
methane or hydrogen.
Wherever outdoor lighting or other electrically powered street furniture is proposed on site, it should be solar powered and minimise light lost to the sky
No peat or natural weathered limestone used in buildings or landscaping
Before demolition, appraisal of maximising recycling of materials by use of ICE’s Demolition Protocol
Use of greywater for all non potable uses
For residential development achieve BS 8233:1999 (Table 5) ‘good’ standards for external to internal noise and improve on Building Regulations (2003) Part E
for internal sound transmission standards by 5dB (See Ecohomes)
Low emission developments that are designed to minimize the air quality impact of plant, vehicles and other sources over the lifetime of the development
Use prefabricated and standardized modulation components to minimise waste. If this is not feasible use low waste fabrication techniques
Provide facilities to recycle or compost at least 35% of household waste. By 2015 this should rise to 60%
Provide facilities to recycle 70% of commercial and industrial waste by 2020.
Client Demand
SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT
The DELIVERY PARTNER shall develop a Sustainable Procurement Plan to
demonstrate how the DELIVERY PARTNER will use best endeavours to carry out
the Services in compliance with the Sustainable Procurement
The DELIVERY PARTNER shall, within three months of the date of this
Agreement, submit the Sustainable Procurement plan to the Client’s
Representative for approval.
The DELIVERY PARTNER shall carry out the Services in accordance with the
approved Sustainable Procurement Plan.
The Client may monitor the DELIVERY PARTNER’s compliance with the
requirements of this clause and, for the avoidance of doubt, any failure by the
DELIVERY PARTNER to comply with such requirements shall be deemed a
breach of a material term or condition of this Agreement for the purpose of
clause 29.1.
Contract clause March 2007, RDA
Client Demand
While your team will be very familiar with site waste issues and other site related impacts,
most of the solutions for a building come from the design teams. Can you take any credit
for this?
How will you ‘educate’ the design team if you see ideas in the scheme that you know are
not environmentally effective?
How do you go about reconciling your commercial manager’s desire to complete a
building cheaply – which may be at odds with long term cost in use benefits?
How do the buyers in your organisation weight the environmental impact of materials they
are buying? For example, if a block cost 10p more per m2 but contained 50% more
recycled product. Or how much more could a price be before they decided not to
purchase it locally?
We have a finite budget and so cannot achieve everything. How should we go about design the
building so that we first achieve maximum reduction to environmental impact for least cost?

Why…?
Future generations will neither
excuse or forgive us for ignoring
the signals we see today. They
will not accept that it is too
difficult or too costly to keep
our economic aspirations in
balance with the impact on the
environment and the effect our
decisions will inevitably have on
society.

The good news
• Sweden – biofuel vehicles
• Manchester City – shirts
made in Manchester
• DEFRA – travel contract
• M&S - Plan A
• B&Q – product life cycle
• IKEA – local sustainable
policy following bad press in
Germany
The bad news
•
•
•
Government target 100%
BREEAM Excellent buildings –
17% achieved
MOD measured on how much
recycled paper it buys
“We have no recollection of
being asked to address the
water saving target” Major
contractor to government
•
Car manufacturer in the
Midlands buying all it’s
sandwiches from East Kilbride
Barriers…
• Minimum standards
- Won’t work on their own
- Can measure the wrong
things
- Unlikely to be complied
with
- Government “Quick Wins”
list not seen as mandatory
- Buying responsibly is not
enough
- To be leading edge we
must change markets
Barriers…
• Beware “Greenwash”
- UK Green Tariff energy
- Just a certificate for
your wall
- Makes no difference
to the environment

The future…

How much longer will it be
acceptable for organisations to:
-
Grow their business and
increase greenhouse emissions?
Deplete natural resources in
construction and operations?
Send waste to landfill?
Buy from organisations with
poor human rights practices?
