In an era where environmental responsibility is no longer optional, the defence sector faces a unique challenge: how to reconcile the imperative for sustainability with the uncompromising demands of national security and operational capability. This webinar, hosted by Cavendish Nuclear in partnership with The Engineer, explores the paradox at the heart of sustainable defence—how can the industry reduce its environmental impact while maintaining readiness, resilience, and technological superiority?

Through expert insights, real-world case studies, and forward-thinking discussion, this session will reframe sustainability not as a constraint, but as a strategic advantage. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how defence organisations are innovating to meet climate goals, embedding ESG principles into operations, and preparing for a future where sustainability and capability go hand in hand.
