Infrastructure

Whether it is large scale rail projects, or improvements to our highways, sustainability plays an integral part of project delivery in infrastructure.

Industry clients are facing increasingly tough environmental and social requirements on the largest pipeline of major infrastructure projects for decades. Stakeholders are exerting more pressure and legislation is becoming increasingly stringent. As a result, the demand for supply chains to provide efficient, green and ethical solutions as normal business routine is increasing.

Project investment over the next 20 years provides the industry with an opportunity to not only improve the transport, energy and utility infrastructure, but also to deliver significant reductions in environmental impacts and improvements in the value that society receives from this public investment.

Collaboration with the Rail Infrastructure Supply Chain

Network Rail is a key example of a major client driving the rail industry’s transition towards more sustainable practices. The rail sector’s supply chain called for a more consistent and cohesive approach to learning across the industry. In response, the Supply Chain Sustainability School collaborated with Network Rail, the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB), and a range of rail infrastructure suppliers, contractors, and major stakeholders to develop a series of free learning pathways, designed to be utilised across the sector.

These resources have been carefully selected to align with the priority areas outlined in Network Rail’s Greener Railway Strategy.

To explore the full Greener Railway Strategy, including the 8 key focus areas and how the Supply Chain Sustainability School is supporting its roll-out, please read more on our dedicated page.
