Book nowOverview
Every engineer and built-environment professional signs up to a code of ethics, but those principles are quickly tested once real projects, commercial pressure, tight programmes and complex global supply chains come into play.
This ICE London Early Careers Network event moves the conversation from the page to the project, exploring what ethical infrastructure delivery actually demands and the choices practitioners face on live schemes.
The evening opens by asking why ethics should matter to every professional, then confronts a deliberately provocative workplace dilemma to get the room thinking.
A series of short talks from leading voices will explore issues including modern slavery and human rights in the supply chain, countering corruption in infrastructure, building ethical and sustainable supply chains, and the rise of sustainable finance.
The session then closes with a panel discussion and audience questions that draw the themes together into practical guidance attendees can take back to their teams.
Whether you are just starting out or well established, you will leave with a sharper sense of what it takes to put professional ethics into everyday practice.
