There is an increasing focus on the responsible sourcing and stewardship of products and materials used in construction, with stakeholders requiring information on the associated social, economic and environmental impacts over the lifespan of a building project. In line with developments in this rapidly changing area of the industry, the BRE Trust has funded the development of new guidance on the benefits of responsible procurement and how to ensure sustainable principles are embedded across the supply chain. Covering sector-specific approaches to responsible sourcing for materials including timber, steel and concrete, the guidance provides an outline of key sustainability standards and certification methods. It also features case studies on two major commercial projects using responsibly sourced reinforced steel and PEFC timber used in a hybrid steel-timber extension.  [Price £13]

BRE is also currently undertaking a review of BES6001 and is keen to gather a wide range of stakeholders’ views on the responsible sourcing standard. Click here to take part in the survey. The consultation period is open until 10 April 2013.
