Sydney Architects and Designers...check your diaries for 6pm this Thursday, 20th June! Australian Architects Declare are thrilled to present a live panel discussion followed by Q&A on the newly launched Product Aware sustainability platform. The platform's aim is to standardise how we ask questions around product sustainability. To provide transparency to help specifiers make more sustainable choices. The products in its database clearly list their sustainability metrics. And its free for anybody to use and contribute to. Join us on Thursday evening, where I'll be sharing the stage with David Henderson, Isabella Peppard Clark, Dr Matthias Irger and Valerie Saavedra Lux, to discuss this exciting new resource for the A&D Community. Hosted by our friends at Cox Architecture, sign up for free tickets here: https://lnkd.in/gREvWR-m Please note this event is targeted at specifiers in the Architecture, Design and Construction Industry.

According to the United Nations, the built environment is responsible for 37% of global emissions. We need to reduce our impact as an industry, and fast. We can start by using better products. But there’s a lot of confusion when it comes to product and materials sustainability. Knowing what matters to designers, which certifications to go for, and how to effectively communicate product sustainability credentials poses a massive challenge. In response, Australian Architects Declare have worked alongside industry to create ProductAware. Its aim is to standardise how we ask questions around product sustainability. Its questions and categories have been extensively peer reviewed. The products in its database clearly list their sustainability metrics. And its free for anybody to use and contribute to. We encourage all to check it out—especially if you want to make a dent in our industry’s massive emissions. It’s not the answer to every problem. But it could be a big step forward in elevating sustainability and decarbonisation in the built environment, through the sharing of product sustainability information and broad industry adoption.

Good evening LinkedIn community. Some of you may know my involvement with pro bono developer, Housing All Australians. We were involved in making of UNDER COVER which shines a light on the devastating reality that women over 50 are the fastest growing cohort experiencing homelessness in the country. This Thursday evening Quest Apartment Hotels is generously hosting a screening of UNDER COVER in Melbourne. Would love to see you there. Below is a link to register. If you do intend to check it out, please let me know so I can make sure to say hello and thank you. Margaux Bonne
