At the World Economic Forum (WEF), sustainability and diversity are at the core of its events, according to Severin Podolak, Head of Event Management and Operations at the WEF. In an interview with CGTN's Global Business, Podolak shared insights into the organization's efforts to \"reduce, reuse, and recycle\" during their gatherings.
\"We tried our best to minimize the environmental impact of this year's event,\" Podolak stated. Measures included subsidizing participants who traveled by public transportation, encouraging eco-friendly travel choices among attendees.
Looking ahead, Podolak mentioned that the 2024 Davos Forum also brought in diverse representation in terms of regions, industries, and opinions. \"Diversity is essential for meaningful dialogue,\" he emphasized, highlighting the WEF's commitment to inclusive participation.
The focus on sustainability and diversity reflects the WEF's dedication to addressing global challenges through collaborative efforts. By implementing sustainable practices and embracing diverse perspectives, the organization aims to foster solutions that benefit the international community.
