Mitsubishi Electric Targets Westminster With Green Message
Story
Environmental technology manufacturer Mitsubishi Electric has just taken its Green Gateway Initiative to the policy and planning decision makers within central and local government at a special environmental conference.
Sales Director Deane Flint presented the initiative to the Energy & Environment 2008 Conference in Church House Conference Centre in Westminster on the 17th June. The event was chaired by John Vidal, Environment Editor of the Guardian and saw presentations from manufacturers and industry bodies in addition to speeches from both Gregory Baker MP, the Shadow Minister for Climate Change and the Environment and Phil Woolas MP, Minister for the Environment.
“It was interesting being on the podium in front of over 250 delegates from all sections of industry and government,” explained Deane Flint. “I had been asked to give a perspective from the construction industry’s point of view and highlighted not only what can be done on the built and to-be-built environment, but also where government can help more to provide clarity and definition.
“What is encouraging is that there is a level of consensus that we need to start acting together and a lot of interest from industry and policy makers in what is a significant challenge as well as a great opportunity for the construction industry.”
