After 13 years, the oldest sustainable built environment educational event, Sustainability Live, has evolved to become Australia’s pinnacle of sustainable designs, ideas and innovation-now known as the Sustainability Digital Summit. The Sustainability Digital Summit presents a great line-up of crucial sustainability discussions and partner presentations.
For the first time the awards gala evening and ceremony will be digitally broadcast, opening up the celebrations to all architecture and design enthusiasts and the winners of the 2020 Sustainability Awards will be announced.
Responsible Wood has been announced as panelist in Tasmanian Timber’s Q&A expert panel discussion featured in Sustainability Live ‘Sustainability Digital Summit.’ Running on 12 November the panel discussion will feature as part of the summit’s lunchtime breakout sessions (12.15pm to 1.15pm AEDT).
With more than 30 sustainability and industry leaders participating in the summit, architects and design professionals will be eligible to earn 5 formal CPD points as endorsed by the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA).
Hosted by Tasmanian Timber, the expert panel will answer questions from the audience and discuss the significant role that responsible forest management plays in the global fight against climate change and the importance of ensuring that timber is sustainably managed, independently audited and certified to an internationally acclaimed standard.
“Tasmanian timber, which has Responsible Wood certification, has PEFC certification at its core, but additional checks and balances in the system to ensure it meets our very high environmental standards,” Tasmanian Timber’s Claire Bennett said.
“Meeting Australian values also means supporting our local economy. Buying Responsible Wood means you are buying Australian timber for the Australian marketplace. So, when purchasing Tasmanian Timber, consumers can be confident that they’re getting a piece of timber from a local forest that is both certified sustainable and meets Australia’s environmental and social values.”
