Supply Chain Sustainability School
The School is a collaboration between clients, contractors and suppliers who have a mutual interest in building the skills of their supply chain. Mane is one of those.
The School works together with its Partners and members to provide an online and in-person community improving the knowledge of the built environment sector.
The School covers all aspects of the built environment, and focuses on five main topics:
- Sustainability
- Offsite
- BIM
- Lean construction
- Management
The significant investment in projects over the next few decades provides the industry with an opportunity to not only improve infrastructure, but to do so by delivering significant reductions in environmental impacts and improving the value that society receives from this public investment.
Our clients are demanding more sustainable practices. Consequently, the demand for supply chains to provide efficient, green and ethical solutions as normal business routine is increasing.
With legislation such as the Immigration Act 2014 and Modern Slavery Act 2015 ensuring tighter labour standards, alongside a skills shortage within the sector, the requirement for sustainable outcomes is stronger than ever.
