EVENT REVIEW as data , technology , and innovation to decarbonise industries and create greener processes . Over recent years there has been a lot of talk about sustainable fuel in the aviation industry , but shipping must also decarbonise . Øinstein Jensen , Chief Sustainability Officer at Odfjell , uncovered some of the efforts at Odfjell to reduce the emissions of its vessels , breaking down some of the pros and cons of emerging alternative fuels .
Supply chains are under pressure from various angles . Decarbonisation is high on the agenda , but businesses in the agricultural sector are undergoing significant changes to meet the needs of an ever-growing population . With resources thinning across the globe , innovation is required to provide food for all regions .
Pippa Bailey , Head of Climate Change and Sustainability Practice at Ipsos , believes that a change in consumers ’ approach to food is needed . “ We ’ re going to have to make tougher choices in terms of diet to continue feeding the populations ,” Bailey explained . “ When we dig deeper , it ’ s a lack of knowledge and understanding . [...] We need to have measurability . We need to be accountable .”
Meanwhile , Tomas Zaborowski , Head of Sustainability Excellence at Bayer Crop Science , provides his thoughts as part of Climate Change and Sustainability - The Tipping Point ; a fireside chat with Blaise Hope , Chief Executive Officer at Sustainability Magazine . “ The urgent need for change is now because it will take years to achieve that ,” Zaborowski said .
The time for sustainability is now Some of the Sustainability LIVE speakers received particular attention from CNN , which was in attendance for the launch of
the inaugural event . One of these was Dr James Robey , Global Head of Corporate Sustainability at Capgemini , following his insightful talk that put many things into perspective — particularly around the use of data and the role of ‘ purpose ’ in sustainability regulations .
Robey explained some areas in which the audience may not have considered unsustainable , such as the incredibly large number of photos stored on personal mobile phones that are kept in the cloud . He explains that around 90 % of photos are never looked at , but required energy to be stored . sustainabilitymag . com 33
