Join us once again for a deep dive into the realm of sustainability as part of the New Professionals Forum (NPF) Sustainable Futures Series.
As with our first session hosted earlier this year, this webinar from the NPF has been developed with our colleagues at the Sustainability in Defence Network (SDN- formerly called the ESWG) to offer valuable insights into how sustainability is becoming integral to defence capabilities and how you can be part of this exciting transformation.
In this session we will be looking at how ESG will shape the future of the workforce in the defence sector.
We will be delving into:
- How ESG can drive skills development?
- The importance of green skills in the defence sector
- Company response to the upskilling requirements
