About the programme

Over the course of this two year programme, you will learn that sustainability management is a wide and varied topic that covers People, Community, Supply Chain, Waste and Energy (to touch on a few examples).

Babcock has structured its working groups, into three categories, Environmental, Social and Governance. This graduate programme focuses on the Environmental side, looking at Biodiversity, Energy, Waste and Water. Your work here will have a real impact on shaping and delivering the sustainability strategy for Babcock.
