Accurate, accessible and timely information on the environmental and social impact of using different materials is increasingly important for designers, contractors and procurers to satisfy green building rating systems. These systems award credits based on the environmental impact of materials and for materials responsibly sourced, aiming to encourage the use of materials with lower environmental impacts over their lifecycle, and to recognize and encourage the specification of responsibly sourced structural materials. The CARES Sustainability Scheme provides a means by which approved firms in the reinforcing steel supply chain are able to declare product and organisational level sustainability performance, and achieve credits in the green building rating systems such as BREEAM and LEED. BREEAM is the UK’s most prominent green building rating system. The CARES Sustainability Scheme has been assessed, by BRE Global, against the requirements for responsible sourcing credits within BREEAM New Construction 2011 and has achieved entry into Tier 4 of Table 10- 2 in the Mat 03 issue [Responsible sourcing of materials]. The key features and benefits of the CARES Sustainability Scheme are summarised as follows, with further details and endorsements of the Scheme available on the CARES website, www.ukcares.com.
