CIOB joins Pride in London celebrations

The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) officially joined the Pride in London parade for the first time ever. 

A group of around 40 people, including CIOB employees, members and employees from CIOB company members, participated in the parade across the capital.

CIOB joined five other built environment bodies – RICS, RIBA, RTPI, ICE and the Landscape Institute – to celebrate ‘Pride in the built environment’. 

The annual parade celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and encourages equality, diversity and inclusion. 

This year’s event featured the #WeAreEverywhere campaign, which aims to shine a light on the presence of London’s LGBTQ+ community.

Commenting on LinkedIn, Mark Harrison, head of EDI transformation at CIOB, said: “A properly excellent day with members and colleagues of the CIOB joining the London Pride Parade for the first time.

"A great day of solidarity and celebration demonstrating our collective commitment to #Prideinthebuiltenvironment.”
