Today marks the final ceremony of this year’s BREEAM Awards and it has been a privilege to celebrate the incredible achievements of so many winners. These inspirational buildings have inspired us and demonstrated the huge progress made in sustainability in the built environment, and we are proud to have supported them all through BREEAM.
The pandemic has been a huge challenge in so many ways for our industries, but it has also allowed us to revaluate priorities and where possible build back better. We look forward to continuing our work through BREEAM as we ease out of lockdowns around the world, and we are excited to witness the positive impact seen from so many of this year’s award winners.
