The business case for BREEAM Infrastructure

Set the best example

BREEAM Infrastructure adopts best practice to drive improvements on projects. This may be through whole-life costing, waste minimization, resource efficiency, or climate change adaptation measures. BREEAM Infrastructure helps you identify opportunities and act on them.

 

Improve your reputation

Use BREEAM Infrastructure to demonstrate and celebrate your commitment to sustainability and achieve recognition from clients, stakeholders, media, and industry. BREEAM Infrastructure is a great way to deliver on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies which build reputation and increase your competitive advantage.

 

Save money 

BREEAM Infrastructure promotes sustainable practices from early in a project’s life. This influences decision-making and encourages efficiency and value engineering. Major cost savings can be achieved through design changes, reduced resource consumption and waste, and alternative material choices. BREEAM Infrastructure projects have reported saving from £30,000 to £5 million.

 

Support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) came into force in 2016. The 17 SDGs aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. To achieve the SDGs, all aspects of society need to play their part. The construction and property sector has an essential role in delivering the SDGs and their associated targets. As part of the family of BREEAM standards, BREEAM Infrastructure enables significant contributions towards meeting the SDGs – see how here.

It not only covers environmental aspects, but broadens out into the wider sustainability agenda. The whole project team develops a good team ethos and makes you more competitive between contracts.
– Nigel Sagar (Senior Sustainability Manager, Skanska)
It ensured that sustainability was an important design consideration from the outset. Design decisions took into account sustainability outcomes, and additional sustainability opportunities were sought and considered at key points.
– Ann Cousins (Sustainability Consultant, Arup)
It is very good for the industry and profession to have challenging tools like this available to us to test out and measure our performance. I want to thank the team for all its work in developing the assessment scheme for the use and benefit of civil engineering and society.
– Sir John Armitt CBE (Chairman of the 2012 Olympic Delivery Authority)
Using it has been instrumental in driving performance forward and sets the bar for other contractors we used to follow. It is now a mature tool and Version 5 raises that bar even higher.
