Over 260 people from 23 construction firms marched over the weekend to represent the #BuildingEquality at Pride in London<\/h2>\n

Construction representatives came together to march along with a rainbow JCB provided by Flannery Plant to help increase awareness of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT+) employees in the construction industry.<\/p>\n

Many members have launched LGBT+ networks to foster inclusion<\/a> in their own companies and over the next 12 months, #BuildingEquality will focus on continuing to drive change not just through main contractors but also through the supply chain. This aims to encourage an inclusive environment, proven to reduce stress and anxiety amongst the LGBT+ community, allowing people\u2019s talents to flourish.<\/p>\n

Jo Hennessey, Chair of #BuildingEquality<\/a> and WSP network committee member, said: \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic that this year we have more senior leaders than ever before taking part in the parade, showing that it\u2019s no longer down to employee networks alone. We\u2019re beginning to see LGBT+ inclusion not only supported but in some cases driven from the top.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steven Woodward, chair of the Kier LGBT+ and Allies community, commented: \u201cPride means a great deal to our Kier LGBT+ community and we are immensely proud to be supporting them at London Pride. Pride matters because it gives the industry the opportunity to drive diversity and inclusion<\/a> alongside our construction partners at #BuildingEquality. Only when we come together as an industry can we promote true change and improve the working lives of all our employees, LGBT+ and non LGBT+ alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

Georgina Scott, #BuildingEquality committee member and Lendlease LGBT+ Network Chair, said: \u201cThis is the fourth year Lendlease has marched at Pride as part of #BuildingEquality which has grown to more than twenty member companies, up from only four in 2015. To create the best places, we need a culture and an environment that embraces difference, where we can benefit from the diverse thinking, experiences and backgrounds of all our people.\u00a0We are committed to growing and sustaining a diverse and inclusive culture; where people can bring their \u2018whole self\u2019 to work and feel safe, empowered and motivated to be the best that they can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"#BuildingEquality\"2018 marks a symbolic year for the LGBT+ community, it has been 30 years since Section 28 was introduced, banning local authorities from promoting homosexuality and 15 years since it was repealed across the UK.<\/p>\n

Since the millennium we have seen a more positive outlook on legal rights for employees who recognise themselves as part of the LGBT+ community. In 2010 the Equality Act\u00a0<\/a>became law in the UK, making it illegal to discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the workplace.<\/p>\n
