  • I see your point Rob Eagle‍, but the question is broader than government intervention. Companies are always working to meet environmental goals for all sorts of reasons - compliance, market expectations, cost-saving, and sometimes for ethical reasons - yet concerns exist that the workforce doesn't have the skills. What do you think the industry could be doing to upskill the workforce?
