ROADMAP TO NET ZERO
Last week, Green Worldwide Shipping had the honor of sponsoring the French-American Chamber of Commerce New York City’s “Roadmap to Net Zero” event. The event brought together business leaders and experts from various sectors including consulting, banking, finance, fashion, food, technology, manufacturing, and pharma to discuss the challenges and benefits of achieving a net-zero carbon economy.
As a pioneer in sustainable logistics, Green Worldwide Shipping was proud to support the topic of sustainability in business as a Gold Sponsor. Green Worldwide Shipping and additional sustainability experts shared their insights and innovative technologies for implementing sustainable practices in the global supply chain with topics including, “Harnessing emerging technologies & investments to maximize sustainable growth” and “The energy revolution: Accelerating the transition to a low carbon economy.” Karl Pettersen, Chief Sustainability Officer of Societe Generale, shared his thoughts on “Pricing the Cost of Decarbonization” as the keynote speaker. Additional topics included “ESG momentum: Transparency and the consumer landscape”.
“The FACC NYC’s ‘Roadmap to Net Zero’ was a great opportunity to connect with leaders across industries working toward a sustainable economy. It really highlighted the common challenges we face and the mutual benefits of sharing our experiences and data.”
