British Precast signs Sustainable Concrete Declaration

British Precast was among the companies and trade bodies that signed the declaration.

The Sustainable Concrete Declaration was signed on 31st July by eight major companies and their trade associations at the heart of the UK cement and concrete industry.

In alignment with the Government’s Sustainable Construction Strategy, announced in June, the Sustainable Concrete Declaration is a commitment by the concrete industry to a common vision, and a set of strategic objectives and commitments which will benchmark industry performance and demonstrate continuous improvement for the future in delivering sustainable construction.

In fulfilment of one of the industry’s eight new commitments, the first annual sustainable concrete performance report will be launched at an event at Lancaster House, London, on 19 March 2009.
