Building for the future: Sizewell C accelerates supply chain upskilling
Posted on 25 August 2026
Sizewell C has joined the Supply Chain Sustainability School, giving its suppliers access to a leading national training platform designed to boost skills and improve standards across the construction and infrastructure sector.
The partnership gives companies working for Sizewell C - from local SMEs to national contractors - access to thousands of free learning resources, supporting more sustainable, resilient and modern businesses.
Established in 2012, the Supply Chain Sustainability School is an industry‑wide initiative with over 50,000 active members and backing from 230 partners, helping suppliers upskill their workforce, improve sustainability performance and share best practice across the built environment.
For Sizewell C, the move directly supports its strategic ambition to deliver significant savings in time, cost and carbon, while building a stronger, more capable supply chain for one the UK’s largest infrastructure projects.
Malcolm Dare, Commercial Director, Sizewell C, said: “Our partnership with the Supply Chain Sustainability School is integral to Sizewell C’s emerging Supplier Development Programme. The platform is enabling us to create a standardised approach to upskilling our workforce and supply chain partners which will in turn benefit the project and help us to successfully deliver this landmark nuclear project to the UK.”
Through the Supply Chain Sustainability School, Sizewell C suppliers can access CPD‑accredited, expert‑led training covering key topics such as carbon management, social value, modern slavery and responsible procurement. Suppliers complete a self‑assessment that identifies strengths and gaps, generating a clear action plan to help businesses focus on the skills that matter most. This ensures companies of all sizes can improve performance, demonstrate compliance and strengthen their competitiveness.
The new partnership supports Sizewell C’s wider aim to drive local economic growth, ensuring businesses build lasting skills and expertise beyond construction of the power station, which currently underway on the Suffolk coast.
