Hyder Consulting takes lead role at Sustainabilitylive!

Hyder Consulting, the international advisory and design consultancy, has announced its
role as sole sponsor of SustainabilityLive! 2009 - the UK’s biggest gathering of experts tackling resource and sustainable business issues facing today’s companies.

SustainabilityLive! - which runs from 19-21 May 2009 at the NEC Birmingham - is expected to attract over 8,000 people.

A key element of this year’s programme is the newly launched “Sustainable Business - The Event”. Dedicated to putting sustainability firmly on the business agenda, it will feature a lively seminar programme to which Hyder’s thought leaders will be making a significant contribution.

Hyder Consulting will also be producing a series of articles about climate change in the run up to, during and following SustainabilityLive! 2009, which will be available from www.sustainabilitylive.com/hyderconsulting and www.hyderconsulting.com in the coming weeks.

Finally, Hyder’s experts in carbon and energy will be available on the company’s stand -Hall 3 H55 - to answer questions and discuss issues with visitors to the event.

Stephanie Wray, Global Environment Leader at Hyder Consulting said: “As a company we are highly focused on sustainable development - it is central to what we do in all of our operating sectors not just in the UK but around the world.

“We do not subscribe to the view that in these straitened economic times, we ‘can't afford’ sustainability - we believe that the legislative, policy and corporate responsibility drivers will result in organisations having a greater focus on issues of sustainability and the triple bottom line as we climb out of recession. It will be a differentiator for our clients, both in terms of brand and sound economic sense.

“In our experience, if you understand all of the dimensions of sustainability and apply them from the outset of a project, you can achieve significant benefits in whole life cost and first year rate of return.

“We look forward to bringing you news of Hyder's groundbreaking approach which seeks, through innovation, to join practical engineering requirements with the best, measurable environmental outcomes.

“We are very pleased to be sponsoring SustainabilityLive! 2009 - particularly the Sustainable Business event, which will be a highly effective forum to exchange ideas and best practice.”
