This morning I attended a construction carbon supply chain meeting and presentation with the common sense involved being fantastic. It was run by a main contractor who were showing free (yes FREE!) tools available, namely the EA's construction carbon calculator. The presenter then showed how to use the calculator and someone who has used it gave a case study.
It was a simple as that. No sales, blind alleys or over complication. The session was aimed at subcontractors and I've never seen a room of construction professionals react so well to such a session. I've been to similar ones and they've been over long, over complicated and over sales orientated. Here, it was a main contractor engaging with its supply chain - simple as that. There was no ERDF funding, box ticking or self justification.
So, CSR in this case with the supply chain was to the correct level and I came away feeling as the local construction industry in the North West had been enlightened, not disheartened.
