Q&A: Working to create a more sustainable world

Who are you, what is your job role and what do you do?

I am a Sustainability Consultant Apprentice at Schneider Electric, working in legislative and reporting compliance. In my role, I help large companies to regulate their energy consumption, in line with legislative guidance from the government. 

To support my day-to-day role, I also study Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CR&S) as part of my apprenticeship. This has allowed me to really explore social and governance best practice in organisations and what that should look like. Through this, I’ve been able to broaden my understanding of the extensive scope of sustainability.

Additionally, I am Chair of the Apprenticeship Committee at Schneider Electric, helping to arrange events and networking opportunities for apprentices. We host everything from Q&As to quiz nights, and invite past apprentices along to talk about their transition into full-time employment. The central aim is to come together, gain greater insights into the industry, and explore as many networking opportunities as possible.
