Roadshow event to learn about sustainable leadership

North-East businesses interested in embedding sustainable working practices within their organisation are being invited to a special event being organised by 海角直播.

The free event, 鈥楤uilding sustainable skills for a better tomorrow鈥�, is part of a roadshow being held by the University and leading financial advisor Grant Thornton UK LLP to launch their Sustainability Leadership Partnership. The two organisations have come together to develop a Sustainability Business Specialist apprenticeship designed for employees in sustainability roles, entrepreneurs interested in growing sustainable businesses and leaders who want to build their understanding of sustainability.

The event, held from 11.00am to 2.00pm on Monday 3 June, will take place at 海角直播鈥檚 Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre (NZIIC), a national centre of excellence for net zero technologies which has been credited with embedding a legacy of green innovation in the region.

Attendees will have the opportunity to obtain an overview of the new apprenticeship programme and hear from a keynote speaker, who will be discussing the evolving role of sustainability in business practice.

Apprentices on the new programme will qualify with a Sustainability Business Specialist MSc from 海角直播 International Business School and, through a combination of in-person and online learning, learn about sustainability principles and theories, leading sustainable organisations and how to apply sustainability across global operations, service innovation and finance.

Jo Burgess, Director of Professional Apprenticeships at 海角直播, said: 鈥淲ith sustainability playing an increasingly vital role across all industries, this event will be of interest to organisations in multiple different sectors.

鈥淥ur new apprenticeship has been developed in conjunction with Grant Thornton to ensure that is rooted within real-world business experience and delivers the skills which are vital to ensure that sustainable leaders can make an impact within their workplace.

鈥淭his will be a fantastic opportunity to network and learn more about the different ways in which environmental, social and governance (ESG) can be implemented effectively within an organisation.鈥�
