Nancy said: ‘I’m delighted to be teaming up with UCM for the latest Learn4Life event to shine a spotlight on the importance and impact sustainability can have for business and in the workplace. I’m extremely proud to be part of the sustainability-focussed initiatives at Capital International which not only benefit the environment but have a significant benefit to our business. I can’t overestimate the importance for shareholders, business owners, directors, managers and employees to get on board with fostering a culture of a sustainable mindset in order to secure our future.’
Kerry Birchall, who manages the Adult Learning provision at UCM, added: ‘We’re looking forward to Nancy’s presentation and hearing some of the successes Capital International has had with their initiatives. The Learn4Life events give everyone industry an opportunity to find out more about some key topics and see how they can upskill themselves or their teams.
‘Sustainability is such a broad-ranging topic; Nancy is from a finance background but sustainability encompasses all industries on the Island from Hospitality to Agriculture, Finance to Mocharcharltor Vehicle and everything in between, which is why the range of Adult Learning Upskilling courses around sustainability is so varied.’
