🎯 2024 Unlocked - xUnlocked’s Year in Review ✨ As we reflect on an incredible year, we’re celebrating the partnerships that have amplified our mission to close the global skills gap. One standout collaboration has been with CMS UK 🌟 We’re particularly proud of the two-way learning exchange: - Lawyers across CMS contribute specialised video content to the platform and share valuable legal insights with learners. - Simultaneously, the CMS team has been upskilling through xUnlocked courses, broadening their perspective on sustainability issues. “By partnering with Sustainability Unlocked, we are equipping our people with knowledge that extends beyond legal training. We are providing them with a broader and more holistic perspective on sustainability issues, enabling them to confidently engage with clients, colleagues, and the community while being well-prepared for the challenges of the future,” says Barbara Mendler, Chief Operating and Sustainability Officer, at CMS UK. “The high level of engagement we’ve seen so far reflects our commitment to sustainability for our people, clients, and communities.” What learners are saying: 💬 "I would like to refresh my knowledge so that if there are any client queries, I can support them and provide answers for them” 💬 “I would like to learn more about the impacts of different sectors on climate change, how I, individually, can make a difference as well as advising others and their business on how they can make a difference” We’re excited to continue growing this impactful partnership in the years ahead. 🔗 Explore content: https://lnkd.in/e5wHEdrM #SustainabilityUnlocked #CMSUK #Partnerships #SkillsUnlocked #Sustainability #YearInReview

ESG: Not as easy as ABC Our recent ESG Focus panel event discussed the explosion of interest in ESG matters. One area that strikes me about this phenomenon is the growing convergence of ‘S’ and ‘E’ issues. The S itself is also moving up the agenda, with a range of stakeholders increasingly interested in what employers are doing on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging initiatives and to ensure good working conditions. To find out more, please read the key takeaways from the session: https://lnkd.in/eYsgnKa9 #ESG #sustainability #CMSlaw
