Yesterday I attended our Leaders Forum, it was a great event and opportunity to catch-up, network and share ideas with colleagues.
A key theme for the day was decarbonisation – and we were honoured to have a keynote address from John Gummer, Rt Hon The Lord Deben, the Chairman of the Climate Change Committee – setting the challenge that it is everyone’s’ responsibility to meet net zero by reducing carbon emissions whilst preserving resources and improving biodiversity.
Linked to this was the need to innovate to reduce carbon and improve performance – with a presentation from Yogesh Patel, our Process and Improvement Director – highlighting the continuous improvement hierarchy ‘Optimisation, Innovation, Transformation’
In the Market Place, an opportunity for areas of business to showcase key innovations, we learnt from our industrial partners, JCB and AFC Energy plc in the use of hydrogen to power plant and our site compounds. We also benefited from a very informed presentation on the future of energy resilience and transition in the UK from one of Taylor Woodrow emerging talents Indra Peachey from our graduate programme.
