Resiliency: Considerations Beyond Code Requirements Over the past several decades, there has been a continuous increase in human and economic loss from disaster events. The rise in disasters and their consequences is related to a rise in people’s vulnerability, induced by human development. However, examples of resiliency planning and more stringent building code requirements still lag. This presentation offers a view on emerging risks and opportunities as human and economic losses from disasters increase, with the overarching goal of supporting and advancing resilience in future construction of buildings and critical infrastructure.

After Grenfell: Empowering Digital Fire Safety
Join FSM and Honeywell on the 06 May 2025 at 10:30am for this one-hour webinar where we will discuss the impact of BS8644-1 on your buildings, and how you can not only meet these standards, but exceed them.
BS 8644-1 sets a new standard for fire safety management through digital innovation. By integrating connected technologies, organisations can achieve greater safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. Digital transformation effectively addresses the challenges identified from previous shortcomings, paving the way for a more resilient, accountable fire safety landscape.
PFAS, or as they are more commonly called “forever chemicals,” are a group of over 10,000+ man-made substances that can pose significant risks to human and environmental health. They have been and are widely used in our lives for their water, heat, and stain-resistant properties, however, they come with many hidden costs. This, coupled with the upcoming bans on chemicals like PFOS (a known pollutant) and PFOA (a known carcinogen) means that the fire and firefighting foam industries are facing major shifts with bans coming into force in July this year, meaning now is the time to assess your fire safety requirements to understand exactly how these evolving regulations could affect you.
So, I’d like to invite you to join us for a FREE webinar entitled PFAS and Fire Safety: Looking beyond the headlines on Tuesday 18 March at 2pm. Book your FREE place now!
On the webinar you will learn about:
the current regulations around PFAS
why these chemicals are being banned
the alternative solutions already available

Mastering ESG Reporting: How To Align With CSRD & ISSB Standards
It’s a pivotal moment for ESG and sustainability leaders. The introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and global standards like ISSB reflect a broader shift from voluntary ESG commitments to structured, auditable sustainability reporting. However, with shifting regulatory landscapes and political headwinds, the path forward is anything but straightforward. To stay ahead, firms must adapt to evolving disclosure mandates, streamline ESG data management, and integrate sustainability into core business strategy—all while navigating diverging market trends between the US and Europe.
Join our upcoming webinar where our experts will break down the key ESG reporting requirements coming into effect in 2025 and provide practical guidance on how firms can prepare while strengthening their long-term sustainability strategy. Reserve your seat
