Another aspect of my time at Loughborough which was both very enjoyable and has greatly benefitted me, is understanding the principles which underpin national energy modelling. These principles from the Economic Modelling and Policy for Sustainable Development module have been critical in deploying decarbonisation assessments for clients and providing the business case for electrification and renewable energy generation. A third key aspect is the in-depth understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals provided by the programme, which has built the foundations informing many of the frameworks for the corporate sustainability reporting we deliver such as the GRI and CSRD.  I have also found that many of the soft skills developed at university, especially presenting, report writing and teamworking skills have been essential in navigating the world of corporate sustainability.
