| Summary: | Green construction is a way forward for the construction industry in Malaysia, towards an environmentally responsible industry. One of the important tools to accelerate green construction is the construction procurement. Thus, the concept of a green-oriented procurement has been introduced to integrate green practices into project procurement delivery. However, green procurement is the least discussed and the concept is still very new in the Malaysian construction industry. Thus, this paper describes a proposed strategy of exploring the potential of green procurement for the construction industry. This is based on an on-going research project whose primary objective is to pave a way forward for the key stakeholders who are involved in green building projects. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. |
