The CPA's sustainability policy work has two principal aims: to ensure manufacturers are kept up to date with information and insight into the rapidly changing landscape of sustainability and Net Zero policies that will impact both their manufacturing process and the markets in which their products will be sold, and secondly to contribute to and influence the evolving policy agenda within government so that regulation and initiatives are based on sound concepts and standards.
Our Sustainability intelligence work helps manufacturers to consider the challenges and opportunities of sustainability and Net Zero within their business strategy planning.
Addressing climate change is now a political and societal priority. Its impacts will have a profound effect on our way of life. Construction product manufacturers are central to the changes.
Manufacturers of construction products rely on water for a wide variety of purposes. Many have sought to improve the efficiency of water use in their manufacturing processes as part of general efficiency gains.
At every stage of the construction lifecycle there are different opportunities for different professions to optimise the amount of materials used, to reduce waste and to reuse or recycle products, components and buildings.
There are many ways in which construction product manufacturers report on their sustainability ambitions, actions and impacts.
CPA's procurement guidance tool has been designed to help procurers implement the government’s balanced scorecard approach in construction. It signposts procurers to evidence provided by construction product manufacturers in response to procurement questions about a broad range of topics in the balanced scorecard.
The CPA works to develop consultation responses, industry viewpoints and engagement across the sustainability themes of industrial decarbonization and Net Zero ambitions, sustainability measurement and reporting, resource efficiency and the circular economy, and innovative research.
