Green Skills Toolkit

We believe that every job should be a green job. That’s why in partnership with Deloitte, we developed the Green Skills Toolkit. The toolkit helps you identify the sustainability skills needed across job families in your organisation. Whether its in HR, finance, marketing or operations, the toolkit maps out how to embed green thinking and behaviours into each role—so your organisation can stay competitive, compliant, and ready to tackle the sustainability challenges of tomorrow. 

Environmental and sustainability risks are no longer niche concerns. From resource scarcity and supply chain instability to reputational damage and investor scrutiny, the pressure is mounting. Organisations face a range of drivers for action, including:  

• Regulatory changes – tightening environmental laws and disclosure requirements.  
• Market expectations – customers, investors, and partners demanding sustainable practices. 
• Operational resilience – protecting against climate-related risks and disruptions.  
• Talent attraction and retention – employees increasingly prioritise purpose-driven workplaces. 

That’s why every role—not just those with ‘sustainability’ in the title—need to embed green thinking. Whether it's finance teams considering environmental risks in investment decisions, HR shaping inclusive green workforce strategies, or operations managers improving resource efficiency, everyone has a part to play.  

By building green skills into every job, organisations create a workforce that’s aligned, agile, and capable of driving innovation. This not only accelerates progress towards net-zero but also helps future-proof the business in a rapidly changing world.
