Women in Sustainable Construction & Property group have confirmed its involvement with The UK’s Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF), which is set to take place between 21-23 May, in Leeds.

Women in Sustainable Construction & Property is a LinkedIn networking group with a common agenda to combat climate change and share information on environmental issues in construction and property, promote corporate responsibility, and equality and diversity at work.

The partnership between UKREiiF and Women in Sustainable Construction & Property aligns seamlessly with UKREiiF’s steadfast dedication to promoting diversity and inclusivity. Through collaboration with Women in Sustainable Construction & Property, UKREiiF actively embraces a shared vision for an inclusive industry. This partnership signifies a joint commitment to fostering an environment where a myriad of voices and perspectives are not merely recognised but wholeheartedly welcomed and revered. UKREiiF and Women in Sustainable Construction & Property are actively instigating a cultural shift, where inclusivity transcends being a mere buzzword to become a vibrant and celebrated reality within the industry.

Emma Nicholson, Principal Sustainability Project Manager at Pick Everard founded the Women in Sustainable Construction and Property group back in 2011 on LinkedIn when she worked full time and as a mum of two young children. Currently the LinkedIn group has grown to circa 1750 LinkedIn members and Emma has regularly posted industry news on this site.  Emma has previously organised various sustainability and EDI events with Women in Sustainable Construction and Property and the group has grown to international status through LinkedIn.

Nathan Spencer, Director at UKREiiF, said: “We’re excited to announce that Women in Sustainable Construction & Property will be joining us for the third annual UKREiiF event. This collaboration not only underscores our commitment to diversity and inclusivity but also highlights the power of collective action in shaping a sustainable future for the construction and property industry. By uniting with Women in Sustainable Construction & Property, we are not just organizing an event; we are fostering a community-driven movement where diverse voices converge to build a resilient and inclusive foundation for the challenges that lie ahead.”
