Mark chats to Georgia Elliott-Smith

A conversation with Georgia Elliott-Smith of Fighting Dirty, on the impending need to reduce the embodied carbon in the construction industry and the ability of clients to influence the outcomes that are important to them through detailed planning. The talk includes information on positioning the construction companies as those who can help clients reduce their footprint and add value to a project. Georgia also covers the need for transparency in our actions, as no-one expects everything to go according to plan and no-one can afford to be labelled as “greenwashing” if they wish to retain clients.
