520			_aThis report represents the first phase of a more wide ranging British Council for Offices initiative to establish what is understood by the term sustainability, what is being done and what needs to happen next so that the office sector operates effectively within the various environmental, social, legal or economic constraints which the market imposes. The objectives of the research programme were: to provide an overview of strategic approaches to sustainability by some of Britain's major development companies, architectural practices and investor developers; identify incentives and influencing factors; assess the impact of current and proposed environmental and social legislation and regulations; and understand the major motivating factors what will encourage organisations in the office sector to commit to sustainable development in the future.
