STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
JLR is upgrading its Halewood facility in Merseyside , England to become an ‘ EV factory of the future ’
in our sustainability journey . We are currently organising our 2025 summit which I ’ m excited for . On the back of the 2024 event , we invited colleagues from all over JLR to join our sustainability network . Almost 1,000 colleagues – regardless of their job roles – are now engaging regularly with sustainability topics and are championing the subject in their home teams . Also , as a business , we take pride in looking after our people and helping them develop , upskill and equip them for our electric transformation . Through our Future Skills Programme , we are investing £ 20m ( US $ 24.4m ) annually to enable our workforce to pivot their career and gain new skills .
More than 29,000 colleagues across our footprint have taken some of the training and courses , including 1,600 Halewood employees who received High Voltage Training in the plant ’ s new training centre to prepare them for electric vehicle manufacturing .
