Climate change is transforming our economy, and a new RBC Economics and Thought Leadership report reveals that 15% of the Canadian labour force will be disrupted over the next 10 years as we transition to a Net Zero future. \n\nIn this episode of Disruptors, an RBC podcast, co-host Trinh Theresa Do tackles some of the big questions surrounding our climate transition with the leader of a company that’s seen more than 160 years of transformation. Colin Osborne is the CEO of Samuel, Son & Co.—an Oakville, Ontario-based advanced manufacturing company that traces its roots back to 1855. Today, Samuel is at the forefront of a new, green approach to manufacturing—upskilling its labour force, reducing material waste, and building partnerships with some of the fastest-growing businesses in the low-carbon economy. \n\nOsborne speaks with Theresa about how the family-owned business is embracing a high-tech future—including doubling down on automation in facilities across North America—and how he’s preparing his 6,000-person workforce for the green jobs revolution.\n"}
