Webinar: Guidelines for Providing Product Sustainability Information - Buildings and Construction

Sustainable products are a growing business opportunity, especially for emerging and developing countries. Still, challenges impair the rapid growth of green markets. Besides the malpractice of greenwashing, key barriers to sustainable consumption include the uncoordinated proliferation of diverging and/or unchecked product sustainability information tools and the resulting mistrust and confusion among consumers, as well as information providers.

The webinar feature the Guidelines for Providing Product Sustainability Information – a practical tool on how to communicate the sustainability attributes of products. It is tailored specifically for those working in buildings and construction and explores sustainability information in the building sector, status quo and challenges. Webinar is for members of the One Planet network Sustainable Buildings and Construction and Sustainable Public Procurement programmes.

It featured presentations of the ‘Guidelines for Providing Product Sustainability Information’, SBC tools MaS-SHIP and SHERPA and some general insights on the importance of product sustainability information for the Buildings and Construction sector.
