This webinar, organised by the FIDIC Diversity and Inclusion Committee, will look at the crucial importance of diversity in all its forms in the global engineering and construction industry and why a commitment to better diversity and inclusion in the sector is a key to business success. The webinar will examine how inclusive the industry is in 2021 and what needs to be done to achieve a more diverse industry in the future. The webinar will look at good and best practice in this area and start a global discussion on this crucial issue for the industry – an issue which needs to be effectively addressed if the industry is to attract and promote the leaders of the future.
