TaperedPlus, a specialist in the design and supply of flat roofing and insulation systems, has affirmed its commitment to building safely by signing the Building a Safer Future Charter.
The Charter, developed in response to Dame Judith Hackitt’s Building a Safer Future Review following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, aims to promote a culture of safety and proactive change within the built environment.
The Grenfell Tower disaster claimed 72 lives and highlighted the urgent need for improved safety standards in building design and management.
The new charter can be adopted by any organisation involved in the construction, design, and management of buildings of any height. By signing it, TaperedPlus commits to five key principles designed to drive culture change and improve building safety – collaboration, transparency, integrity, community and communication.
This commitment aligns with TaperedPlus’ recent achievement of the globally recognised B Corp accreditation, highlighting its dedication to using business as a positive force for communities, consumers, employees, and the environment.
Aman Chahal, CEO of TaperedPlus, said: “Safety is paramount in our industry. By signing the Building a Safer Future Charter, we are not only committing to making tangible improvements to our practices but also leading by example in promoting a culture of safety.
“Our B Corp accreditation coupled with our dedication to transparency, collaboration, and stakeholder engagement will help us ensure that safety remains top of the agenda”
