The Sustainable Initiative of the Year award was given for revised structural design guidelines for the Emirates, which seeks to drive down the consumption of material having a massive impact on sustainability. 

?Sustainability is such an important topic. We are therefore happy to be able to achieve this with the authorities as a joint effort for Dubai and the construction industry in general.

Yu Tao, president & CEO of CSCEC, commented, ?Over the years The Big 5 keeps improving, it?s the first year for the award and it?s not an easy award.
