Meeting sustainability goals is changing how organisations operate - and calling for new skills, knowledge, and ways of working.

In this panel, four industry leaders from power generation, transport, mining will share what they’re seeing right now: the real challenges of keeping older assets running while introducing new low-carbon technologies to achieve targets. From balancing business demands with long-term sustainability to tackling critical skill shortages, we will discuss how teams are managing these pressures day to day.

The discussion will cover:

• How decarbonisation targets are reshaping maintenance and reliability roles
• The biggest skill and knowledge gaps across industries
• How companies are retraining and upskilling their people
• Practical steps for managing mixed asset portfolios during the transition

This session goes beyond policy to focus on people - the engineers, fitters, technicians, and leaders adapting to change every day. Exploring how developing the right skills and mindset today will shape the success of Australia’s sustainable industrial future.
