  • A refreshed global outlook, positioning CIBSE more strongly across international markets as the institution continues to grow its influence and partnerships worldwide.
  • A new strapline: Inspiring People. Transforming Places. encapsulating CIBSE’s role in supporting people, advancing professional standards, and shaping a better built environment.

Ruth Carter, CIBSE CEO, commented on the brand refresh: ‘‘CIBSE’s refreshed visual identity marks an important step in ensuring our brand reflects the modern, forward-thinking institution we are today. The updated logo, visual style and strapline make CIBSE more accessible and relevant, strengthening how we present ourselves to our international communities. This brand refresh has been shaped by member feedback and engagement, helping us ensure our identity reflects the evolving needs of the profession and the direction in which we are moving.’’

Over the coming days, CIBSE members, partners and the public will see the refreshed identity rolled out across the institution’s digital platforms, publications and communications.
