Building a sustainable future
27 September 2022
Tuesday 25th October 2022, Arup London Office, 08h00* - 10h30 BST
Our third breakfast ‘Question Time’ panel discussion on 'Building a sustainable future' - how ESG Strategies need to be resilient and resistant.
Organisations need to manifest their commitment to environmental and social change in many ways. Their physical presence is often a clear indicator to the real commitment and priority they place to a values led strategy. Our hosts for this discussion, Arup, are deeply involved in projects that need to be sustainable across multiple dimensions - materials sourcing, carbon cost, longevity of use, environmental impact and societal benefit. Many take years to plan and realise so environmental and social criteria are embedded in for the long-term.
- What can long-term planning teach those of us working outside the built environment?
- How can we take these principles and apply them in our own markets?
- How can lessons be learnt and longer term thinking be baked into the environmental and social programmes of organisations with a traditionally shorter-term sight-line?
These are just some of the themes our panel and invited guests will discuss together on the 25th October.
Our high-level panel will include individuals who each bring a different perspective to this debate, the following have confirmed their participation:
- Professor Simon Pringle (Panel Chairman), University of Edinburgh Business School
- Sam Stacey, ISCF Challenge Director for Transforming Construction, UK Research and Innovation
- Steven Lloyd, ESG & Sustainable Investment Leader, Arup
- Andrea Carpenter, Consultant, Urban Land Institute
*Breakfast will be served from 8.00am with the discussion starting at 8.30am. We will conclude at 10:00am but leave another 30 minutes for refreshments and networking.
