Leadership in the Green Transition: A Round Table on Leadership in the UK's Energy Sector
Roundtable Hosted by FabricShift
– 19 November 2025
Overview
The UK’s green and energy sectors are currently at a critical turning point, facing immense pressure to innovate and deliver on net-zero commitments while navigating a complex landscape of technological disruption, ‘the great reskilling’ and fierce competition for talent.
This exclusive round table, hosted by FabricShift, is designed for Chief People Officers and senior leaders to address these unique challenges.
"The most significant factors that lead to a lack of success in transformation programs revolve around people. Some organizations appear to have forgotten that it’s the people within the company, their relationships, and how they are led and managed that drive transformational change"
