Environmental sustainability - an industry response
As a collective, Industry Skills Councils are concerned at the absence of an overarching picture and broad understanding of how the skills relating to sustainable practice are being developed and embedded within industry. The issue is clearly complex. But good policy formation is evidentiary based and must consider not only the written word but the unwritten sensitivities which will ultimatelydetermine its success.

But good policy formation is evidentiary based and must consider not
only the written word but the unwritten sensitivities which will
ultimately determine its success.
It is in this context - amid a growing debate on green skills’ and a
worrying plethora of accredited courses and policy - that the ISCs have
commissioned this report into the drivers and sensitivities of
industry’s shift towards sustainable practice, nd what work is already
in place by ISCs to support the shift.
It is the role of the Industry Skills Councils (ISCs) to identify
and respond to the skilling needs of their industries. To achieve this,
they must be well connected to their stakeholders, develop Training
Packages that accurately reflect industry needs and provide leadership
in workforce development that is based on the latest industry
intelligence.
From this position, the ISCs have examinedthe current impacts of
environmental sustainability on their industry sectors and implemented
a range of initiatives to address current and merging priorities.
In addition, they have collectively developed a range of principles to
ensure that their activities are well targeted and effective.
