School partner Robertson Group has partnered with SEPA (the Scottish Environment Protection Agency) to provide resources for the supply chain as part of their joint agreement, the first in #Scotland to focus on environmental performance across an entire supply chain.   Elliot Robertson, Chief Executive Officer at Robertson Group, says: “It is essential that we all play our part in delivering an inclusive net zero society, and through the toolkit we can share our learnings to upskill our supply chain partners and other suppliers nationally. It was incredibly important to all involved that these resources are free to access and widely available across the built environment sector.”   Roberston has created a series of videos and guidance notes in partnership with SEPA and NetRegs to address best practice on construction sites.   These new resources are on topics including #waste, #sitemanagement, #materialssourcing and #water. They are available for suppliers to view as part of a Supply Chain Sustainability School (UK) Learning Pathway. View and complete the pathway at: https://lnkd.in/eSGcXVWt (Sign up as a free School Member to view)   Their agreement with SEPA seeks to improve environmental and sustainability performance in the construction supply chain, which enables supply chains to upskill around their environmental obligations and to unlock the business benefits of sustainability.   Fiona Arthur Scottish Environment Protection Agency Abbie McKinnon Martin Dick Graeme Hannah
