Sustainable Development

How can economic growth be aligned with the needs to the environment?
We take long term economic sustainable growth very seriously. We will continue to encourage business to consider its approach to climate change, waste, energy use, flood risk, sustainable construction and the development of truly sustainable communities - not just to save the planet but to help the bottom line. We will remain at the heart of the debate, asking difficult questions, but also offering creative solutions and inspiring the private, public and voluntary sectors to work together.
