DEVELOPING THE TALENT THAT WILL DRIVE SUSTAINABILITY TRANSITION

Sustainability is reshaping the way organizations operate, compete, and grow. Across the Middle East, Caspian and Africa region, businesses are facing increasing expectations to deliver measurable, responsible performance.

While strategies and commitments are accelerating, one critical question remains: do we have the talent and capabilities to deliver on these ambitions?

At Bureau Veritas, we see talent as the defining factor of success in the sustainability transition. The ability to combine technical expertise, advisory skills, and a strong sense of purpose is what will differentiate organizations in the years ahead.

This is why we are launching our Sustainability Graduate Program, a strategic initiative designed to attract, develop, and empower the next generation of sustainability professionals. The Sustainability Graduate Program is fully embedded in our LEAP | 28 strategy and reflects a clear reality: the demand for sustainability expertise is growing faster than the available talent pool.

To address this, we are focusing on three priorities:

• Attracting high-potential early-career professionals from diverse markets
• Accelerating their development through structured, experience-based learning
• Building a strong, consistent pipeline of sustainability capabilities across the region

This is not just about recruitment. It is about creating a long-term, scalable talent ecosystem.

What makes this program distinctive is its integration into the business. Participants are hired into operational roles from day one. They are not separated from the business; they are part of it. From the outset, they contribute to real projects, engage with teams, and gain exposure to client environments.

This approach is intentional. It allows us to significantly accelerate development while ensuring that learning remains practical, relevant, and aligned with market needs.

The Sustainability Graduate Program reinforces our positioning as an employer of choice by offering a meaningful career path in a fast-growing and impactful field, a structured development framework with clear progression, exposure to international expertise and cross-regional collaboration, and the opportunity to contribute to real-world sustainability challenges.

Ultimately, this program reflects a simple conviction: our ability to support our clients and deliver on our sustainability ambitions depends on the strength of our people.

By investing in talent today, we are building the capabilities we need for tomorrow; ensuring that we can scale our services, maintain excellence, and continue to support responsible progress across our region.
