The association urged legislators to have a joined up approach to green retrofitting, to reduce carbon, create jobs and improve building safety.
The Bathroom Manufacturers Association has called for action on climate change to be delivered through the home improvement sector, at a House of Lords event this week.
Speaking at the Net Zero Carbon Parliamentary Debate at the House of Lords on 14 September, Chief Executive Tom Reynolds urged legislators to have a joined up approach to green retrofitting, to reduce carbon, create jobs and improve building safety.
The event, organised by The National Home Improvement Council - the umbrella organisation for repair, maintenance and home improvement sector in the UK - was hosted by The Rt Hon Lord Stunell.
It brought together experts from all sides of home improvement sector to debate the case for a revolution in our approach to addressing the climate emergency.
Reynolds said: “All too often green housing policies have been developed in uncoordinated way, with the policy owners acting in silos.
“There has been no longevity in any initiative to have greater impact on carbon reduction targets.
“Transforming 27 million homes to make them net zero is complicated. It won’t be achieved by individual departments, or individual parts of the home improvement sector going off on their own.
“We must try to join up our thinking and actions to make a real difference.”
