How David is building a better working world
“EY’s energy practice works with clients that are at the cutting edge of the energy transition and that have the ambition to make change that will have a positive impact for wider society. I help to build a better working world by supporting our energy clients with delivering their transformational programmes that will ultimately shape how the energy sector, and wider society, responds to climate action. Climate change is the challenge of our time and I am very much motivated by being part of a team that is actively looking to address these challenges head on.”
