In this podcast, Elina Grigoriou and Dave Wakelin, board members of SKArating, discuss the evolution and updates to the Offices scheme following the industry workshops and research stages in 2024. They also touch on some wider strategic directions for the whole system and open up about the process of developing and updating the scheme.
Key updates include:
- The strategic scheme alignment with Net Zero targets by 2030, the alignment to 100% Circularity, including a broader focus on social/wellbeing and economic/value sustainability;
- the use of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for decision-making, and the removal of outdated measures;
- how the workshops and broader stakeholder involvement have enhanced the scheme’s relevance and practicality;
- and the goals to streamline standards, improve performance, and ensure the system and all the sector schemes remain a practical tool for the industry.
