Details of the
renewed partnership between Futurebuild and the Considerate Constructors Scheme
(CCS) have reinforced the event’s position as the most considerate in the built
environment sector.
Futurebuild has
confirmed that it will partner with the CCS and use the Scheme’s Code of
Considerate Practice for the second year running, as part of its commitment to
achieving the highest possible standards of sustainability, respectfulness,
inclusivity and diversity across conference and seminar speaker panels.
CCS’s involvement in
the event will also go a step further for 2019, as it exclusively brings its
industry-leading expertise to the event’s Knowledge Forum.
Forming part of a
comprehensive education programme in partnership with CITB, CCS will deliver a
series of workshops in the Knowledge Forum focusing on mental health,
wellbeing, skills and diversity, and the fantastic resources available through
the Scheme to both built environment professionals and the general public.
Martin Hurn,
Managing Director of Futurebuild Events, commented: “The CCS’s fundamental
values represent everything we work hard to promote and the work we did with
CCS at last year’s event really laid a solid foundation ahead of this year’s
Futurebuild.
“Last year we were
the first industry event to use the Scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice and
it’s vital that we continue to lead the way for industry events when it comes
to our sustainability and considerate credentials, as well as projecting a positive
image of the industry on a wider scale. We’re therefore delighted not only to
be partners for the second year in a row, but also to be able to build on the
partnerships success and further harness the wealth of knowledge available to
built environment professionals through the Scheme.”
Considerate
Constructors Scheme Chief Executive Edward Hardy added: “We applaud
Futurebuild’s continued commitment to promoting a positive image of the
construction industry by raising its standards in considerate construction for
everyone involved in delivering and attending the event, the wider community
and the environment.
“Futurebuild
provides the Scheme with a great opportunity to raise awareness and
understanding of what the Scheme does. We are incredibly excited to be part of
Futurebuild’s Knowledge Forum, delivering a range of essential workshops and
seminars each day. We encourage event attendees to come along to our sessions
to understand more about the Scheme and how to learn from leading organisations
on best practices in mental health and wellbeing, addressing the skills crisis
and increasing diversity.”
Registernow to be part of the built environment’s most considerate event.
