All of us, within the construction industry and beyond, have a responsibility to deliver Climate Action. It is a key driver behind many innovative tools, techniques and processes and impacts everything we do. Excellence would like to celebrate those projects or organisations that seek to deliver a positive impact, or a reduced negative impact, on the natural environment and demonstrate whole life sustainability in their approach to construction. Successful applicants will exemplify the use of organisational culture, high quality design, effective procurement practices and innovative tools and techniques to provide improved environmental performance and outcomes. 

Judges are looking for organisations, projects or initiatives that demonstrate: 

• Readiness and progress to move towards zero emission vehicles and onsite plant. 

• Commitment to reducing waste and transport to sites via improved logistics and MMC. 

• Use of low carbon manufacture, transport, heating, lighting or processing solutions. 

• Measurements or metrics to evaluate carbon and enable informed decision-making for carbon reduction. 

• Use of circular economy. 

• Use of innovation to reduce impact on the natural environment or enable positive environmental outcomes.
