Members from Northern Ireland construction company Farrans' award-winning environmental team shared their expertise to over 200 key stage 12-14 students at a sustainability event in Belfast.

The event, which was organised by W5, was designed to give students the opportunity to discover the latest practices and principles that Northern Ireland based companies are currently using enabling us as a country to meet the environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies.

This event included a Q&A session for 60 minutes which the representatives from Farrans attended.

Also in attendance were 10 other proactive companies who shared their passion and dedication to a cleaner environment and workplace.

These representatives from the sustainability community presented valuable solutions for and debated topical issues on the most pressing aspects of sustainability. 

Suzanne Lutton, Head of Stakeholder and Social Value, said: "This was a fantastic event to be a part of and it was exciting to see the next generation of talent so motivated by what we can all do to live and think more sustainably.

"There are excellent career paths in this field and the jobs fair hopefully will have encouraged more students to think about these options.

"Construction and civil engineering is an area where there are rapid changes taking place and we need people with great ideas and new ways of thinking.

"At Farrans we are committed to the principles of sustainable development and to the delivery of best environmental practice.

"Our Environmental Strategy is delivered through the promotion of a company-wide culture that actively encourages good sustainable practice with the active involvement of our supply chain and stakeholders."
