We are delighted to have been recognised by the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee in their report on ‘Heat Resilience and Sustainable Cooling’.

Check out the recommendation from this inquiry:

Section 36: We recommend that the Government take action to expand urban green space, particularly in disadvantaged areas. At a minimum these actions ought to include:

(i) introducing a statutory requirement on local authorities to protect green space;

(ii) mandating local authorities in urban areas to use the Green Infrastructure Framework;

(iii) introducing measures to incentivise the installation of green roofs as new build or retrofit on appropriate residential or business premises.

To be aligned with these overarching goals and deliver best practice guidance to the industry and government is the purpose of Green Roof Organisation (GRO) – thank you to Mark Harris for enabling this next step for GRO.
