Paul believes the biggest challenge for sustainable procurement is the view that it is a ’ greenwashing ’ exercise that is impractical and costs more . To overcome these challenges , businesses need to pivot their projects towards ‘ whole of life perspectives ,” says Paul . “ Everything that we do in construction has 40 / 50-year timeframes . It ’ s that whole of life perspective that is key ; yes you might pay higher capital costs today , but if you can pay a bit more now , you ’ re going to save on your operational costs over the life of that building ; which ultimately leads to more efficient and flexible buildings .”
