CPA to discuss ESG

20 April 2022

With exactly six months to go before this year’s CPA Conference takes place, the association has announced that the theme will be ‘ESG – Driving Change: How Environmental, Social & Governance Benefits Construction Plant Businesses’. 

The event will be held once again at the Heart of England Conference and Events Centre near Coventry on Thursday, 20 October.

Kevin Minton, CPA chief executive, said: “At last year’s Conference we explored net zero carbon and digitalisation, and this year’s theme allows us to explore exactly what ESG is, how it is increasingly impacting on our sector and how different organisations are addressing it. To compete and grow in the future, organisations must be aligned with the ESG agenda in order to gain contracts and meet their obligations to wider society.

“We’re in the process of devising a packed and highly topical agenda that will combine keynote speeches with panel debates and interactive discussion, and it will be designed to allow delegates to come away with better insight about ESG and what it means for their businesses.” 

Like last year, the event will be hosted by presenter and journalist Merryn Myatt, a former television newsreader and radio broadcaster.
