Industry launches online sustainability school for subcontractors
Main contractors have joined forces to launch a web-based learning tool to help construction suppliers and sub-contractors develop their sustainability skills and knowledge.
The Supply Chain Sustainability School was founded by Skanska and is backed by Kier, Lend Lease, Morgan Sindall, Sir Robert McAlpine, Willmott Dixon and Aggregate Industries and designed to promote a common approach to sustainability within their supply chains, writes Construction Enquirer.
The free-to-access website is funded by CITB-ConstructionSkills and will offer online tools to help subcontractors improve sustainability, free online assessments and advice to help them identify current strengths and areas that need development. It will also provide a prioritised action plan and sustainability training.
Participation in the scheme will be voluntary and is not linked to prequalification.
