On 29 October, members of the CICES team took part in a sustainability day at a local woodland in Urmston, Manchester, organised by the environmental charity City of Trees.

Staff contributed to a range of conservation activities, including vegetation clearance, path widening and litter collection.

The initiative reflects CICES’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, one of the institution’s three Golden Threads, and highlights our dedication to supporting community-led environmental projects.

Our Sustainability Committee is responsible for developing and driving initiatives that promote best practice and change in areas relating to sustainability. 

This includes - but isn't limited to - reducing the environmental impact of projects and operations, resource conservation, cost savings, early engagement of civil engineering surveyors, biodiversity net gain and social sustainability.

CICES Sustainability Committee members represent the custodians and 'leading edge' of our institution's understanding and application of one of the three 'Golden Threads'.
