The Building Awards have announced three new categories to recognise the positive impact companies and individuals working in the built environment have made to society.

As part of the exciting Building Awards 2020 programme entries are now open for the Diversity Award – Making a Difference, which is for companies and organisations in construction that can demonstrate they are taking positive action to accelerate diversity in the workforce.

There is also the new Delivering Social Value Award to highlight UK projects that have had a social, economic and environmental impact.

Meanwhile our Proud to Help Award builds on our campaign to shine a spotlight on all the work organisations and individuals have been doing through the covid-19 crisis to support the country’s public services, critical works and supply chains, as well as setting it back on the road to recovery.
