Sustainability is no longer just about compliance; it is a core business strategy.

As the race for green talent intensifies, leadership teams face a critical bottleneck. Outdated frameworks, siloed teams, excessive jargon and passing fads frequently delay essential career pivots. In the process, organisational performance dips, talent acquisition stalls and upskilling current staff remains elusive.

In this session, Dr. Veronica Broomes cuts through the noise to outline the critical steps required to bridge the sustainability skills chasm across HR, Procurement and Operations.

Attendees will gain actionable strategies to embed capacity building into daily operations and update legacy policies. Discover how to foster new ways of working that drive both talent retention and commercial value with minimal disruption.
