HOUSTON, Sept. 27,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR (NYSE: KBR) recently hosted
and co-chaired the sustainable defense support working group, part
of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) Sustainable Support Strategy.
The strategy aims to reduce emissions on operations and increase
sustainability through technology to tackle climate change. The
event, hosted at KBR's Leatherhead campus, brought together more
than sixty UK MOD and industry stakeholders from across land, sea
and air.
The working group united KBR's defense operations, Sustainable
Technology Solutions business unit and Frazer-Nash Consultancy to
explore the military self-sufficiency concept. This concept
revolves around the idea of a self-sufficient base, where existing
and emerging transition technologies are combined to enhance
operational performance, decarbonize operations and significantly
reduce demand on support chains.
When operational, the self-sufficient base should create
significant advantages for deployed forces as well as supporting
the UK government's commitment to net-zero by 2050.
The outputs from the workshop will inform future capability
development.
KBR's involvement in the working group reinforces our commitment
to delivering technological, sustainable solutions to support
businesses, governments and communities. Our ambitions are set out
in our most recent Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility
Report, which highlights the work that has been done in all areas
of the organization.
