Giles Kavanagh, Global Senior Partner and, Head of Sustainability
We are pleased to bring you the latest issue of our regular sustainability focussed magazine which, as always, explores recent innovation, brings you insight into industry-shaping progress, and examines the most recent legislation.Â
In this issue, we feature Sebastian Mikosz, IATA’s SVP for Environment and Sustainability, who looks at the main issues faced by the aviation sector on the road to decarbonisation, including the scarcity of non-conventional fuel, the importance of agreeing global long-term goals, and why reducing plastic waste is essential.
This issue also carries an interview with Maersk’s Global Air Freight Sustainability Manager, Amit Agarwal, who also discusses the need for further investment into sustainable air fuel, how consistency and collaboration are key, and why he remains positive about future growth in the face of challenges still to overcome.
As well as our regular insight into the most significant legal updates, we also hear from Odfjell SE’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Øistein Jensen, about climate related risk and threats, as well as learning about how best to embrace climate adaption opportunities from meteorologist and climatologist Dr Bruce Buckley.
Also featured in this edition is The Mission to Seafarers, an organisation which provides support and welfare to the 1.5 million people worldwide who work at sea and one of HFW’s global charity partners. We hear from Maurizio Borgatti, Head of Corporate Partnerships, who explains the work the charity takes on to help those working in dangerous, and often isolated conditions on global waters.
Finally, we have a round-up of our own sustainability initiatives and news from our worldwide offices.
We love to hear from you, so if you have feedback about this edition, or further questions about our sustainability expertise, please contact me, or one of the Group Leads or Legal Services Heads.
