In the latest episode of the Navigating Risk podcast, Trevor Hutchings, CEO, REA and Carl Gurney, Renewable Energy Account Director, Gallager explore how the UK's journey to net zero is reshaping the energy system and the critical role risk and insurance play in enabling this transition.

The conversation looks at how renewable energy, electrification and emerging technologies are converging to support energy security, economic growth and decarbonisation.

Trevor and Carl reflect on the UK's progress to date, highlighting that emissions have more than halved since 1990 while the economy has continued to grow, driven in large part by the decarbonisation of the power system.

Trevor and Carl also discuss:
• The role of renewable technologies such as solar, storage, wind and bioenergy in supporting the transition
• How electrification is transforming transport, heating and digital infrastructure
• The rapid growth of data centres and AI, and the implications for grid capacity and risk management
• Why insurance is essential to unlocking capital and enabling new technologies to scale

In this episode of Navigating Risk, host Luca Rosi is joined by Chris Andrew, Strategic Planning & Communication Consulting Lead at Gallagher, and Michelle Sequeira, Proposition Growth Leader for EVP, to discuss how organisations can reimagine Employee Value Proposition (EVP) to meet the evolving needs of today's workforce

EVP is often mistaken for a benefits package or employer branding initiative. As Chris and Michelle explain, a modern EVP is far broader serving as the strategic framework that aligns workforce expectations, organisational purpose and brand promise. By connecting these elements, EVP becomes the foundation for a consistent, credible and engaging employee experience.

This episode explores:
• A practical definition of EVP, and why clarity matters
• How to close the gap between stated EVP commitments and employees' lived experiences
• Why fairness, transparency and authenticity are essential to a credible EVP
• How EVP is likely to evolve as organisations become increasingly data‑led and skills‑focused

The discussion provides a structured, forward‑looking perspective on how EVP can help organisations manage people risk, strengthen culture and support future workforce requirements.
