The World Economic Forum's (WEF) commitment to sustainability and diversity is at the forefront of its 2024 Davos Forum, according to Severin Podolak, Head of Event Management and Operations. In an interview with CGTN's Global Business, Podolak shared how this year's event focused on efforts to \"reduce, reuse and recycle.\"
\"We've tried our best to minimize environmental impact with measures such as subsidizing participants who travel by public transportation,\" Podolak explained. \"It's all part of our dedication to sustainability.\"
He also highlighted the importance of diverse representation at the Forum. \"The 2024 Davos Forum has brought in a wide range of perspectives in terms of regions, industries, and opinions,\" Podolak said. \"This diversity enriches our discussions and helps us address global challenges more effectively.\"
The emphasis on sustainability and diversity reflects the WEF's ongoing mission to foster collaboration and innovation on the world stage. By integrating these core values into its operations, the Forum aims to set an example for international gatherings in the future.
