This week Dan Mann from our Public Affairs team had the opportunity to attend the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool, an event that brought together key political figures, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss pressing issues facing the UK today.

With a focus on sustainable development and innovation in the construction sector, we engaged in critical discussions, panel events, roundtables, and lobbied government about the future of infrastructure, how construction can lead to economic growth, and the role of the private sector in achieving the UK’s climate goals. The conference highlighted the Labour Party’s commitment to green initiatives, a priority that resonates with Cemex’s own sustainability efforts.

Dan said: “Attending the Labour Party Conference was an invaluable experience, it provides a platform to engage directly with decision-makers and understand the government’s vision for the future of construction and environmental sustainability, and to attempt to measure the membership of the party’s views on the salient issues that impact us as a business.”

In addition to formal sessions, the conference facilitated networking opportunities with fellow industry professionals and representatives from various sectors. These interactions are essential for fostering partnerships that can lead to innovative solutions and practices that benefit both the community and the environment.

Cemex remains committed to being at the forefront of discussions surrounding sustainable construction practices and is dedicated to contributing to the UK’s broader environmental goals. With events like the Labour Party Conference, Cemex continues to play an active role in shaping the future of the industry.

As we return from the Labour conference… Cemex looks forward to being in Birmingham later to attend the Conservative Party Conference, applying the knowledge and insights gained to further enhance its public affairs strategy and continue leading the way in sustainable construction practices.
