Our membership will better enable us to achieve our strategic objectives for our urban property portfolio, in particular improving biodiversity and our approach to the circular economy.  Being a CIRIA member also provides us access to ground breaking industry guidance and opportunities to learn directly from peers with a similar forward looking mind-set on these and other critical construction issues.”

Dirk Vennix, Chief Executive, CIRIA commented; “We are delighted to welcome Grosvenor to the family of CIRIA members. The team is looking forward to working with them on driving the built environment sector forward in raising standards and implementing good practice in the environment.  Our upcoming guidance and activities will benefit in particular from their sector leading contributions in biodiversity, green infrastructure, resource efficiency and facilities management.”

CIRIA’s members come from all stakeholder groups and cover both the supply and demand side of the industry, as well as the public sector, regulators and academia.
