Read the Pledge for Change signed by the Project Partner and key influencers in the plumbing and fire protection Industries. This signed Pledge symbolises the commitment from the Partners to lead the change towards a respectful, inclusive and future-ready industry.
Partnering for Change in the Plumbing Industry
Our Industry has a proud history, but it has been shaped by a workforce that is mostly male. That needs to change. We acknowledge the need to understand what the barriers are and to break them down to ensure that everyone is welcomed, respected, and supported at every level of the industry.
As a partner in this change, we commit to:
🔹 Working collaboratively with PICAC and all Project Partners to create long-term cultural change across the Plumbing Industry.
🔹 Education to strengthen our understanding of the cultural and structural drivers of inequality and inclusion
🔹 Listening to the voices and experiences of everyone in the Industry—and using this insight to inform our programs, leadership and practices.
🔹 Championing respectful behavior and inclusive leadership across our organisation and throughout the Industry.
🔹 Supporting and implementing practical policies and procedures that foster psychological safety, inclusion, flexibility, and equality in plumbing workplaces.
🔹 Taking action to open up opportunities for everyone, particularly for women, in our Industry and actively remove barriers to their access, participation and advancement.
As a committed partner, we are proud to stand with PICAC and all Project Partners to help lead the change toward a Plumbing Industry where everyone feels safe, valued and respected.
