Did you know that aluminum is identified as a critical raw material? Did you know that Cruise Ships and Hotels have literally tons of aluminum outdoor furniture on their properties? So, what happens at the end of this furniture’s lifecycle? If you are intrigued and want to gain knowledge about Critical Raw Materials & Circularity, hear about a live pilot project we are doing on our ships, and contribute to making an impact, please join our conversation next week in London. I am so honored to be speaking with this esteemed panel of experts Siu Lie Tan, Federico Fioretto and David Peck Register here 👇 https://lnkd.in/gj_thAei

If we don’t look intro HOW WE DO THINGS, we won’t change the end result. The #EUGreenDeal is gradually changing the way HOW we HAVE TO DO THINGS. Are you going to be ahead of the game, playing by the new rules and thus creating #competitiveadvantage? Or will you leave valuable opportunities on the floor by just ticking compliance boxes? Join us at the Sustainable Design Summit in London on 5th December where we take the practical case of #aluminium as to illustrate how to bend cost into #valuecreating investment.
