ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the behavioural interventions that can facilitate the adoption of sustainability technologies, strategies and practices in the built environment in the form of policies and programmes at the organizational level. Sustainability programmes generally evolve through four basic phases: inspiration, motivation, implementation, and evaluation. These four phases provide a structure for mapping the different ways in which owner organizations have approached each step in creating a sustainability programme. The chapter explores the evolution of sustainability policies and programmes in the corporate sector, including examples of corporate sustainability policies and programmes from different sectors of the construction industry. Sustainable innovation has also resulted in significant evolution of firms playing the roles of general contractor, project manager or programme manager. The chapter presents cases of two exemplary companies whose sustainability programmes and initiatives have been recognized internationally for the leadership they represent to the industry.
