Chris is a qualified Mechanical and International Welding Engineer and a retired Professional Chartered Engineer in both Australia and the UK and has contributed significantly to the metals industry in his career through education, training and qualification programs and project works.

Together we chat about viewing sustainability metrics via the SDG’s and its 17 goals, and to understand holistically the role the metals industry can play to contribute to achieving these goals. No doubt, sustainability is becoming a key focus for many of our member clients and so understanding the metals industry sustainability credentials and influences is key!
