Introduction

In this panel discussion from EG's ESG Breakfast Briefing, deputy editor Tim Burke asks a panel of guests from across the built environment about the most pressing needs for sustainability-focused skillsets in the industry.

Once the preserve of a dedicated ESG team, panellists agreed that forward-thinking companies are now working hard to ensure the necessary talent is embedded in divisions across their business, as the green agenda rises ever-higher on the list of priorities.
Joining the discussion are:

• Amanprit Arnold, senior policy officer, Greater London Authority
• Janine Cole, sustainability and social impact director, GPE
• Andy Mercer, head of ESG, Colliers
• Chris Davies, chief executive, Uncommon
• Adam Smith, climate change programme lead, Better Buildings Partnership
