Zutec Proud to Join Building Equality Driving Inclusion

CONSTRUCTION SOFTWARE COMPANY, Zutec, has partnered with the UK-based alliance of construction professionals, Building Equality, to help drive LGBT+ inclusion in the industry.

Inclusion

Committed to a fairer construction sector, Zutec’s membership of Building Equality in the UK links the firm with 60+ other construction organisations.

These companies regularly participate in joint initiatives to shape an industry that is welcoming, inclusive and supportive of LGBT+ individuals in construction and society at large.

Founded in 2015 by Arup, Balfour Beatty and Landlease, Building Equality is an alliance of construction consultants, engineers, developers, contractors and institutions .

Pride Month

Gustave Geisendorf, CEO at Zutec, says, “We’re fully committed to Building Equality’s vision and the message it sends to the construction industry. With Pride Month this June, we can spread this message even further. It’s vital that positive change is brought about across the sector so that members of the LGBT+ community feel respected, supported, safe and heard, both on site and off. Sadly, too often this is not the case and this is a small step in making the industry a fairer place for all.”

In addition to Zutec and the alliance’s founders, other members of Building Equality include: AECOM, BAM Construct UK, CIOB, Constructing Excellence in the North East, Danny Sullivan Group, Homes England, Sir Robert McAlpine, Skanska, Turner & Townsend and Willmott Dixon.
