I read with interest your article about the formation of the new Construction Council to be chaired by John McDonough (11 July, page 13).
I was gobsmacked to read that the new UK Contractors Group will complement the Construction Council by speaking on “non-business matters such as sustainability …”
For Willmott Dixon, sustainability remains a key business matter as we strive to reduce waste and cut the carbon we produce, while creating energy-efficient solutions for clients. I am concerned about how the Construction Council is proposing to become the main industry voice on “business issues” if this does not include sustainability?
Postscript
George Martin, head of sustainable development, Willmott Dixon
