A Living Building Challenge Ambassador, Martin is a firm believer that sustainability needs to be salutogenic*, not just doing less bad, but doing more good …

*Salutogenic: focusing on factors that support human health and well-being, rather than on factors that cause ill health

1. Smart construction and digital design.

2. Low carbon and sustainable construction.

3. Improved trade performance.

Success in these priority areas depends on having a skilled, motivated and diverse workforce

THREAT: lack of gender diversity

Only 13.5% of people working in the industry are women

Bias against women in tech is fixable. But only with conscious leadership.

Sarah Richardson, Editor, Building: FUTURE OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT ECOBUILD

CUSP OF A RADICAL TRANSFORMATION… to realise the transformation a shift in the demographic of the sector itself is required,

… attract a broad mix of talent that can imagine a future free from the constraints of the past.

THE FUTURE IS ALREADY HERE – ITS JUST UNEVENLY DISTRIBUTED. William Gibson

TIME TO REDISTRIBUTE ….

THREE STAR LEVEL

1. Organization has a written and publicly posted policy on gender diversity within its workforce.

2. Organization has a workforce with a maximum 5 percent deviationfrom a gender-balanced workforce.

3. Organization has a maximum 10 percent deviation from a gender-balanced management and senior leadership staff.

JUST

"Going social" has huge potential for helping women leaders elevate their own voices, add fresh thinking to important conversations, and build trusted community with an impact that makes a world of business difference. Mark my words.
