IEMA's skills campaign is continuing to attract support from business and industry more than a year after its launch.
The institute's campaign, Skills for a sustainable Economy: preparing for the perfect storm, aims to prompt action to bridge the sustainability skills gap that threatens the prosperity of businesses worldwide. Just 13% of organisations say they are confident they have the right skills to survive the "perfect storm" of climate change, population growth, energy security and material price volatility. IEMA and its campaign partners are working together to increase supply of the right skills into business.
In November, Novus Consulting became the 44th organisation to give its support. Partner George Crone said: "At Novus Consulting we believe that the need for sustainability skills follows logically from our common goal: creating a better future. Every day we work to deliver sustainable business benefits and develop professionals capable of doing so.
"This is shown in the way we do business and our voluntary support of IEMA; it means we have a deep understanding of the importance of sustainability skills. That's why we will continue to support IEMA's skills for a sustainable economy campaign."
Novus joins organisations including EDF Energy, WSP|Parsons Brinckerhoff, matt:e, the NUS, Skanska UK, Royal HaskoningDHV, The Schumacher Institute and Rolls Royce as official campaign supporters, and IEMA would like to thank all 44 organisations for their ongoing support.
