Deloitte to train all employees on climate issues

On 26 September, and one year after presenting its first climate change training program that has benefited 330,000 employees (c.f. article No.12659), the UK professional services giant Deloitte announced the launch of a new ‘Global Sustainability & Climate learning program.’ Under this program, all of its 450,000 employees will be trained in sustainable development and climate issues. This time, the consultancy group is also seeking to meet its clients’ expectations. “We are seeing increased demand for these services from our clients, who are seeking greater information and guidance on sustainability issues, approaches to addressing the climate crisis, and good corporate governance,” says Punit Renjen, Deloitte Global CEO, before continuing “Our Sustainability & Climate learning program will give our professionals the critical insights needed to expand their skillsets, grow their careers, and serve as trusted advisors to clients as they transform their organizations.” To mark the program’s launch, Deloitte held its first Global Sustainability and Climate Learning Week, running from 26 to 30 September, which will give employees an opportunity to start learning more by way of a range of face-to-face and online conferences.
