Introduction to three sessions on profitability and performance being enhanced through collaboration between disciplines every step of the way.
Sustainability is a Lifestyle
Our purpose is to inspire, inform and implement better lifestyles and business practices
The OUTCOME is to effect positive change
The process to achieve this objective involves enlightening, engaging and empowering those we interact with in our personal and professional lives.
By building sustainability into the thinking behind lifestyle choices and embedding it in the decisions we take in business, we will effect positive change!
The quote needs almost no explanation, but is as applicable to how we deal with our business contacts as it is to how we live our personal lives.
Steady progress, if faltering until recently, from 1992 Rio Earth Summit, through Kyoto Protocol (now ratified) and a total of 20 other climate conferences until COP21 Paris Accord sets 1.5C target and mechanisms to assist the developed and developing economies of the World deliver on the shared goal captured neatly in what Brundtland Commission said in 1987.
Development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. (Gro Harlem Brundtland)
One Planet Living – from a consultancy called Bioregional, based at BedZed (Sutton) .
Were everyone on Earth to consume resources at the rate of an average European, we would need 3 planets, while the average resident of the United States uses resources at 5 times the rate the planet can replenish them.
OPL is a step by step guide of how to live happy and healthy lives within the planet’s means.
It is based on 10 principles we can implement in our lives, both at home and in our work:
-Zero Carbon – addressing the global challenge of climate change due to human-induced build up of carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere.
Zero Waste – eliminating waste flows to landfill and for incineration, from using recycled packaging and off-site retailing solutions, to recycling packaging, and composting organic material.
Sustainable Transport – addressing the climate and other impacts of unnecessary car and aeroplane journeys (promoting walking, cycling, mass surface transit and teleconferencing)
Local and Sustainable Materials – localising the impact of resource exploitation and support of sustainable practices where materials are sourced from far away.
Local and Sustainable Food – localising the impact of food production, reducing the use of industrial farming techniques and reducing the food miles and embodied energy of food supplies
Sustainable Water – harvesting rainwater where possible to supply water-efficient fittings to reduce mains water demand - not flushing chemically-dosed mains water down toilets.
Natural Wildlife Habitats – Protect or regenerate existing natural features an reduce over-exploitation of natural resources
Culture and Heritage – Protect and build on local cultural heritage and diversity
Equity and Fair Trade – Promote equity and fair trading relationships with a beneficial impact on other communities/cultures beyond short-term financial gains
Heath and Happiness – Promotin healthy lifestyles and physical & spiritual well-being through well-designed developments, community engagement measures and CSR Targets.
Useful Simple Projects is an example of a commercial consultancy that has, through collaboration, established a set of principles to evaluate sustainable development on a city-wide scale.
Resources – designing out resource-hungry structures and systems; using water, energy and raw materials efficiently and leading to a circular economy
Connectivity – Integrated and active transport solutions to improve air quality, control cost and reduce KSI, emissions and promote walking and cycling
Place – delivering infrastructure (e.g. Healthcare, Education and Community hubs) to foster a sense of security and facilitate community cohesion
Resilience – Designing out risks (Flood, High Winds, Fire, etc.)
Economy – Moderate growth, decoupling economic growth from resource depletion and environmental impact
Governance – leadership at local community, local government, Regional and National authority levels to drive collaboration towards shared objectives
Environment - Rethinking the design of our buildings (commercial, civic and residential) and regenerating our existing building stock so that the built environment becomes much more efficient in its use of energy, water, materials and land and is designed to adapt to demographic, technological and social change
Community - Reengaging communities to live low carbon, high quality, lifestyles and encouraging people to actively engage in the governance, management and operation of their cities, neighbourhoods and public institutions.
These resonate with the theme of my session, which is that fear is a poor motivator and that by casting aside our fears of commercial failure we can collaborate with other property disciplines for the common good.

PH sets overall limits on air leakage and energy performance that drive a fabric first approach and stimulate demand for high levels of insulation; low-g glazing; improved controls, etc.
Point of previous few slides is to give a snapshot of various established means of demonstrating value and environmental performance

Whatever form Utopia takes, both give everyone a means to meet their needs without compromising the ability of others to meet their own needs.
The POP showed that reaching common ground, a group wide vision for the next steps is a key objective to gain buy-in from everyone, from the business leaders, through RDT and other brand facing teams, to the brands, however big or small.
We would propose this slogan and strapline and welcome any questions or discussion points.
