Short profile:
CEEQUAL is the assessment and awards scheme for improving sustainability in civil engineering and public realm projects. It aims to deliver improved project specification, design and construction and to demonstrate the commitment of the civil engineering industry to environmental quality and social performance.
Detailed description:
The Scheme rigorously assesses performance across 12 areas of environmental and social concern. It rewards project teams in which clients, designers and constructors go beyond the legal and environmental minima to achieve distinctive environmental and social standards.
Participants in a CEEQUAL assessment report a range of benefits from using CEEQUAL as a driver for improvement and having their project assessed. These include:
Reputation-building and good PR – including delivery of the organisations’ environmental, sustainability and/or corporate social responsibility policies.
Improvements to projects and best practice – ranging from whole-life costing, waste minimisation, resource efficiency (materials, water, energy), to reducing complaints and environmental incidents.
Demonstrating commitment to the environmental agenda – to clients, within the team and the organisations involved, and to the industry as a whole.
Enhanced team spirit – developing a positive “we must score well here” attitude and rewarding teams that have gone the extra mile.
