The Green Story Everyone Wants But No One Wants to Pay For

Everyone wants the sustainability story, until it costs money. This isn't about cash flow. It's about leadership. Watch to find out why real change starts at the top.

Let’s cut the fluff.


Everyone wants the green story. Sustainability awards, shiny accreditations, eco-values on the company website. But when the budget conversations start? That’s when the silence hits.

This isn’t a cash flow problem. It’s a leadership problem.


Because if you’re only sustainable when it’s convenient or subsidised, you’re not sustainable, you’re performing.


Great leaders don’t ask, “Can we afford to do this sustainably?”They ask, “Can we afford not to?”

In construction, the stakes are too high to treat sustainability as optional. From embodied carbon and lifecycle thinking to Passivhaus standards and circular design, real sustainability demands real decisions. And that starts at the top.


You can’t outsource leadership.


So if you're a construction leader who talks about legacy, the future, and building better, it’s time to match your strategy with your story.

This is what The Heald Method™ was built for, challenging outdated thinking, rewiring leadership, and helping SME firms lead projects that don’t just tick boxes but actually change the game.


Ready to stop greenwashing and start leading?
