Progress

Catalysts for Change

Key outputs from the Egan Review:

If we are to drive culture change in our industry, we must move beyond construction to a broader vision of the ‘built environment’

Our vision is of a future where young people who want a better world, will be able to fulfil their aims by joining our industry to deliver a low carbon economy, rather than by devoting themselves to environmental protest

We must develop a new generation of leaders who can communicate their vision and drive change in culture and behaviours; our challenge is to speed up the natural pace of evolution

Catalysts for Change

A 2015 Vision for G4C:
