“Exhibiting at EMEX is a key opportunity for Wates to spotlight our latest innovation partners, engage with sustainability leaders, and contribute meaningfully to the national conversation on energy and environmental transformation. As a long-standing, values-driven business, everything we do is guided by our purpose – reimagining places for people to thrive, and the three underpinning promises – thriving planet, thriving people, and thriving places. From delivering net-zero operational schools to managing over half a million homes and advancing our goal of carbon neutrality by 2025, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the built environment. EMEX provides a powerful platform for Wates and our partners to showcase this commitment, share knowledge, and build stronger, more impactful collaborations. We look forward to welcoming you to the Wates Innovation Zone and Wates Theatre. Join us across the two days to explore how we can shape a more sustainable future, together.” – Dr Zainab Dangana, Head Sustainable Technology Services, Wates Group
