In a recent interview with CGTN's Global Business, Severin Podolak, Head of Event Management and Operations at the World Economic Forum (WEF), emphasized the organization's commitment to sustainability and diversity at the upcoming 2024 Davos Forum.
\"This year's event is focused on 'reduce, reuse, and recycle',\" Podolak stated, highlighting the WEF's efforts to minimize environmental impact. Measures include subsidizing participants who choose public transportation, encouraging a shift away from less sustainable travel options.
Beyond sustainability, Podolak underscored the importance of diversity in the forum's agenda. \"We've brought in diverse representation in terms of regions, industries, and opinions,\" he explained. The 2024 Davos Forum aims to foster inclusive dialogue by incorporating voices from various sectors and geographies, reflecting the global nature of today's challenges.
By integrating these core values, the WEF seeks to create a platform that not only addresses pressing economic and social issues but also sets an example for responsible and inclusive event management.
