London Build, the UK's largest and most influential construction and design show, has confirmed BAM UK & Ireland as Headline Sponsor of the Sustainability Arena for its 2026 edition, taking place on 25–26 November at ExCeL London.

Developed in partnership with elementalLONDON, the arena will host two days of debate on the sector's biggest sustainability challenges and opportunities, spanning decarbonisation, nature recovery, energy efficiency, building performance, climate resilience and the delivery of net zero.

As lead sponsor, BAM UK & Ireland will spotlight progress from the first year of its strategic partnership with the Eden Project, showing how nature recovery can be embedded across construction projects.

On Thursday 26 November, BAM and the Eden Project will co-host a panel discussion, Nature Recovery in Construction: One Year On, sharing lessons from the collaboration and examining how nature-positive approaches can drive better outcomes for communities and for nature.

John Wilkinson, Chief Operating Officer at BAM UK & Ireland, said: "The challenges facing our industry - from decarbonisation and climate resilience to nature recovery - can only be tackled through collaboration. That's why we're proud to sponsor the Sustainability Arena and work alongside London Build to create a platform for conversations and collaboration."

He added: "As we approach the first anniversary of our partnership with the Eden Project, we're looking forward to sharing what we've learned about putting nature recovery at the heart of construction."

Dan James, Development Director at the Eden Project, said: "The built environment has a vital role to play in restoring nature, not just reducing its impact. Our partnership with BAM demonstrates how nature recovery can be embedded into the way we design, build and manage places, creating healthier environments for people alongside thriving ecosystems. We're looking forward to sharing what we've learned over the past year and exploring how collaboration across the sector can help make nature-positive construction the norm"

Join the event on 25–26 November at ExCeL London.
