Legal and procurement practices for sustainable development
The current relationships between post-construction liability, insurance, procurement and the concept of sustainable development were the focus of Symposium C at the 1998 CIB Gavle World Building Congress. A number of issues were identified as impacting on procurement: ethical and human rights, higher environmental standards, eco-design principles, life cycle implications and performance specification, understanding clients' cultural values. Alternative procurement strategies will be required to incorporate sustainability issues. The impact of environmental and sustainability issues on liability presents increased risks and this results in new forms of insurance coverage for all environmental risks. Les relations qui existent actuellement entre la responsabilite post-construction, les assurances, les approvisionnements et le concept de developpement durable etaient au coeur du Symposium C du Congres Mondial du CIB a Gavle en 1998. Un certain nombre de questions ont ete recensees comme ayant un impact sur les approvisionnements: droits ethiques et droits de l'Homme, normes plus strictes en matiere d'environnement, principes de conception ecologique, implication des cycles de vie et specification des performances, comprehension des valeurs culturelles de la clientele. D'autres strategies d'approvisionnement devront etre elaborees de facon a incorporer les questions de durabilite. L'impact des questions d'environnement et de durabilite sur la responsabilite presente des risques accrus et cela se traduira par de nouvelles formes de couverture par les assurances pour tous les risques lies a l'environnement.
