We are delighted announce that our Gold Leaf Members' event will be held on Thursday 2 March. The theme this year will be ‘Building Beyond’ as we dive deep into the ideas that go beyond Net Zero and take a step closer towards regenerative design and nature/biodiversity recovery.

Mina Hasman, Sustainability Director at SOM, will discuss Urban Sequoia, a buildable design concept presented at COP27. This system would enable our buildings to purify air and remove carbon at an unprecedented rate.

Buro Happold's Mayfeild Regeneration will be the subject of our second talk by ecologist Jenny Ross. We will explore this built-project in Manchester that puts ecology, biodiversity and wellbeing at the heart of an inner-city former-industrial development.

This event provides a chance for Gold Leaf members to bring regenerative ideas and solutions to your own projects, but more crucially, the encouragement to speed up our Net Zero (and beyond!) journey. Join us as we share inspirational concepts, practical solutions, and provide plenty of networking opportunities with industry leaders.

It will also be an opportunity to discover industry trends and learn about the most critical sustainability challenges you and your peers are facing. By sharing identified challenges we can work together towards solutions.

Expect big ideas, useful insights and new contacts.

The event starts at 4.30pm. Drinks and canapes will take place from 6pm on the Barbican Conservatory Terrace.
