As a major construction client, Government has an important role in driving the sustainability agenda by improving its own performance and translating that into its demands on suppliers . While the agenda is growing rapidly and industry is without doubt taking bigger steps towards addressing sustainability in its performance, the Government as client is clearly in a position to drive forward the agenda more widely and more quickly. The recommendations set out in this report are fully endorsed by the Government Construction Clients' Panel and should now be adopted by Government clients with full implementation by March 2002.
