I'm thrilled to be speaking at the Maritime Decarbonization Conference, Americas 2023... with no travel required! I will be speaking during Session 2: Sustainability, Planning & Reporting.   Maritime industry is facing an immense challenge but also an immense opportunity to redefine its environmental stance. Permanent carbon removals may not be a hot topic for the shipping industry yet, but as the industry’s views mature and the arsenal of tools needed to decarbonize this hard-to-abate sector expands, #CDR will become absolutely essential!   This event is a unique opportunity to: 🤝Network with leading figures in the decarbonization sector 💡Learn about the latest trends and developments 📢 Increase brand awareness   I look forward to seeing you there.   #MaritimeDecarbonization2023 #RivieraMaritimeMedia #sustainableshipping #emissionsreduction #portsustainability #greenshipping #carbondioxideremoval #directaircapture 1PointFive

Trivia Wednesday: Do you know why World Environment Day is celebrated on 5 June? On 5 June 1973, the world first celebrated World Environment Day. The date was chosen to honour the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment which took place in Stockholm - the first world conference to make the environment a major issue. Today, APCO is a proud official endorser of the UN Plastics Treaty. By supporting this treaty, we’re supporting prioritising a circular economy and a better packaging future. #WorldEnvironmentDay #Biz4PlasticsTreaty #NoTimeToWaste #BusinessForAPlasticsTreaty #UNPlasticsTreaty

Interesting discussion organised yesterday by Chapter Zero Brussels about the next phase of the EU Green Deal and what it means for businesses.   Key messages from Bart Steukers representing Agoria : - Belgian technology companies are part of the solution - Industry supports a high level of climate ambition - No green transformation possible without fully embracing the industry - Conditions of success : respect a true level playing field, harness the single market, embrace all net-zero technologies, evaluate the progress/challenges with the industry,… 👉 Next Commission should focus on the concrete implementation of the green deal (simplicity, predictability, priorities, no national goldplating,…). Thanks to Chapter Zero Brussels for the superb organization ! Mercedes Sanchez Varela Kurt Vandenberghe Julia Bognar Stephanie Raymond #Greendeal #Competitiveness #Industry
