The ECA and the HVCA are to work closely together on sustainability issues.

The two associations have jointly formed a working group to focus on the challenges and opportunities that sustainability can bring.

Speaking at an HVCA briefing, president Mike McCloskey said that the associations will be promoting their members’ expertise to clients. “The HVCA is not about to let its members miss out on such a massive business opportunity,” said McCloskey.

“The groundswell is getting to a pitch where it can’t be ignored,” said the HVCA president. “If we don’t rise to the challenge then we will lose out on this,” he warned.
