Few organisations take their responsibility for sustainable operations as seriously as Stone Federation Great Britain. The organisation’s commitment is clear from the policy statement on their website, the sustainability workshops they organise and the fact that they have an annual sustainability awards competition for members.
Two recent publications from the federation are helping their members address current and future sustainability issues and offering them practical assistance in producing sustainability statements.
They were produced in conjunction with BRE and CITB Construction Skills, based on material used at Sustainability Workshops staged by the federation in conjunction with the other two organisations.
The publication ‘Natural Stone: The Sustainable Solution’ explains current sustainability principles with a focus on natural stone, the BREEAM Green Guide ratings and the Code for Sustainable Homes. The second document is ‘Demonstrating Your Company’s Sustainability Credentials’.
“There has been a huge increase in emphasis on sustainability in the last decade and these two publications are of major assistance in dealing with these issues,” said the federation’s chief executive, Jane Buxey.
More information on the sustainability of natural stone can be obtained on the federation’s website www.stonefed.org.uk, by e-mail from enquiries@stonefed.org.uk or telephone 01303 856123.
