Since launching the first joint EDI action plan, the MoU has:
Developed a unified approach to data collection across the UK and internationally, providing insights into the diversity of memberships in the built environment and identifying gaps to inform and target actions, supporting better benchmarking and transparency.
Conducted research with students and employers, offering new insights into the barriers that hinder entry and progression, particularly in graduate recruitment and retention.
Hosted six sector-wide events and produced guidance to help employers create more inclusive environments, especially for disabled professionals and women.
Influenced broader industry change, contributing to the Construction Leadership Council’s EDI vision, and supporting initiatives led by the Construction Industry Council.
Caroline Gumble, CIOB’s chief executive, said: “I am delighted to sign this new five-year memorandum of understanding on EDI, renewing our collective commitment to promoting an inclusive, representative and welcoming built environment sector.
“It is particularly pleasing to see the new institutes representing different professional roles joining this excellent partnership, working for the benefit of all.”
