The World Economic Forum (WEF) is placing sustainability and diversity at the forefront of its events, according to Severin Podolak, Head of Event Management and Operations at the WEF. In a recent interview with CGTN's Global Business, Podolak shared insights into the organization's efforts to \"reduce, reuse and recycle\" during this year's event.
\"We tried our best to minimize the environmental impact by implementing measures such as subsidizing participants who traveled by public transportation,\" said Podolak. This initiative reflects the WEF's commitment to promoting sustainable practices and encouraging attendees to adopt eco-friendly choices.
Looking ahead to the 2024 Davos Forum, Podolak emphasized the importance of diversity. \"We have brought in diverse representation in terms of regions, industries, and opinions,\" he noted. By fostering a more inclusive environment, the WEF aims to facilitate meaningful discussions that address global challenges from multiple perspectives.
These efforts underscore the WEF's dedication to shaping a sustainable and inclusive future. With sustainability and diversity at the core, the organization continues to lead by example, inspiring stakeholders worldwide to engage in transformative dialogue and action.
