Introduction
CEWales is a platform from which to stimulate, debate and drive much needed change in the Construction and Built Environment sector. My thanks must go to our thought leading members from the entire supply chain – clients, industry and users – who all share a vision for change through innovation and collaboration. Through consulting, engaging and hearing what you have to say, we capture this intelligence and turn sectoral insight into policy recommendations and action. We operate within an emerging landscape of key issues and themes of focus but wish to share a snapshot of what we have been gathering over the last few months.

The nation’s capital, Helsinki, aims to conserve dwindling natural resources and reduce the volume of construction waste. To this end, it has launched a circular economy roadmap. In addition, the city facilitates the testing of construction technology solutions that promote circularity and supports the dissemination of circular economy expertise.
