Asset One and University of Aberdeen partner for sustainable asset management
Asset management consultancy firm Asset One, in collaboration with the University of Aberdeen, has launched its Summer Intern Research Project, focusing on “Enhancing Sustainability in Asset Management”.
This innovative project aligns with the UK’s Net Zero Strategy and the United Nations Sustainability Goals, demonstrating Asset One’s commitment to driving the energy industry towards a sustainable future.
The project marks the beginning of an exciting journey for eight newly onboarded summer interns. The summer research project aims to explore and develop innovative strategies for sustainable asset management. By examining current practices, identifying areas for improvement, and proposing actionable solutions, the interns will play a crucial role in pioneering new methods to manage assets sustainably. This initiative is not only pivotal for the firm but also holds the potential to make a significant impact on the broader energy industry.
University of Aberdeen Collaboration
This project has been made possible through a collaboration with the University of Aberdeen. Their support in providing talented students through their internship programs has been invaluable. The university’s commitment to fostering real-world experience and academic excellence aligns perfectly with Asset One’s goals for this project. This partnership ensures that our interns are not only academically proficient but also equipped with the practical skills necessary to drive forward our sustainability initiatives.
Nurturing Talent and Innovation
Asset One is dedicated to nurturing talent and creating an environment where skills and aspirations can thrive. The summer internship program is designed to provide hands-on experience, mentorship, and extensive learning and development opportunities.
Roy Milne, managing partner at Asset One, said: “The best ideas and solutions emerge from fresh perspectives and diverse experiences. Our summer internship promises to be a challenging yet rewarding experience, fostering innovation and producing an outcome which will be valuable to asset operators across the globe.”
Adam Lea-Bischinger, partner & head of asset management at Asset One, added: “We are excited to support our interns on this journey and to witness the incredible enhancements they will bring to industry. This summer is not just about work; it’s about enabling asset operators to grow in a sustainable way and building lasting connections.
“A special thanks to Garry Coull (UoA Employer Engagement Manager), Dr Heather May Morgan (UoA Dean for Enterprise & Innovation), and John Barrow (UoA Dean for Employability & Entrepreneurship) without whom this project wouldn’t have been possible. Here starts a great relationship between Asset One and University of Aberdeen.”
