Background

About Reza Jafari

A strategic civil and structural engineer with over 12 years of leadership in delivering complex infrastructure projects, driving innovation at the intersection of engineering, sustainability, and policy. With a Master’s in Structural Engineering and an Executive MBA, I combine deep technical expertise with strategic foresight to lead multidisciplinary teams toward future-focused, high-performance solutions. My work spans advanced knowledge of sustainable construction materials, environmental disclosure standards (CSRD, IFRS), and regulatory frameworks (ESRS) shaping the built environment. I actively contribute to the development and critical review of international standards related to sustainability reporting (IFRS CM), product innovation, value chain due diligence, and governance transparency in the construction sector. Through committee roles with organisations such as BSI, CAMA, and ECAP, I align engineering practice with broader SDG goals, ensuring that innovation, safety, and climate resilience are embedded in both design and regulation. I’m particularly passionate about mentoring emerging professionals and promoting knowledge sharing across the industry to help elevate global standards and enhance engineering impact.
