• A refreshed global outlook, positioning CIBSE more strongly across international markets as the institution continues to grow its influence and partnerships worldwide

• A new strapline: Inspiring People. Transforming Places. – encapsulating CIBSE’s role in supporting people, advancing professional standards and shaping a better built environment

Ruth Carter, CIBSE CEO, commented on the brand refresh: ‘‘CIBSE’s refreshed visual identity marks an important step in ensuring our brand reflects the modern, forward-thinking institution we are today. The updated logo, visual style and strapline make CIBSE more accessible and relevant, strengthening how we present ourselves to our international communities.
