August 23, 2006—The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) has appointed the sustainability consultants Beyond Green to undertake a comprehensive audit of its environmental impact. Beyond Green will be working in collaboration with footprinting experts Best Foot Forward.
As the government’s advisor on architecture, urban design and public space, CABE has a key role to play in stimulating the market for more sustainable goods and services and for championing more sustainable buildings and urban environments, the Commission notes. CABE wants to embed sustainability in its internal operations, external activities and practical advice.
The audit will look at CABE’s environmental impact and identify practical ways in which the organization can reduce its footprint. For more information, see the CABE Web site.
