MAPP Cultural Diversity Benchmarking User group sessions

MAPP Cultural Diversity Benchmarking user group Session 1

17.03.2026

MAPP Multicultural Benchmarking Initiative Stage 2 brought 25+ senior decision-makers and DEI partners from across the Built Environment together at Lendlease for a dedicated benchmarking workshop. It was a purpose-led session focused on where the industry stands today and how we move forward together.

MAPP introduced the pilot survey results from October 2025 and a preliminary, research-backed scorecard to help organisations locate their current position and map practical pathways for multicultural inclusion. Participant feedback is helping us sharpen definitions and guidance so benchmarking becomes a shared language for action.

What’s next:
- Facilitated sessions to unpack the scorecard
- Practical resources and guidance
- Session 2 in May!

Thank you to the organisations and individuals who invested their time and are committed to driving real change. Benchmarking, for us, is not only measurement... it's momentum!
