Saul Humphrey CEnv FCIOB is the Chartered Institute of Building’s 123rd President.
The presidential chain was passed on to Saul Humphrey from outgoing CIOB President Paul Gandy FCIOB. Saul praised the work of previous CIOB Presidents Professor Mike Kagioglou and Paul Gandy, highlighting how their focus on sustainability and modern professionalism had helped shape the direction of the Institute and wider industry.
“The built environment is not just part of the story – it is central to it,” he said.
CIOB’s new President
Saul plans to use his platform as CIOB President to champion climate literacy, resilience and sustainability across the built environment profession, encouraging construction professionals to place these issues at the heart of their decision making.
The sustainable construction expert, a professor at Anglia Ruskin University, believes construction professionals have an important role to play in responding to the growing climate pressures facing the industry.
He said: “If we are serious about responding to the challenges facing society, then professionalism is how we do it.
“We need to understand carbon, resilience, materials and impact, not as abstract ideas, but as part of everyday decision making. In short, climate literacy needs to become a core part of what it means to be a professional in the built environment.”
Saul brings these principles of sustainable development to every project led by Saul D Humphrey LLP (B Corp). Alongside his work, he holds a range of trustee, ambassador, chair and non-executive roles, helping to promote positive change across construction, energy and placemaking, with a strong focus on purpose, values and environmental and social impact.
