Executive Forum: Navigating Disruption and De-carbonisation: Building Resilience for the Future
Join us for a CEIBS Executive Forum on April 9, 2024, with Mr. Aymeric Chandavoine, Executive Vice President and President Europe, A.P. Moller - Maersk, who will have a fireside chat with Professor Frank Bournois on Navigating Disruption and De-carbonisation: Building Resilience for the Future.
About this event
At this forum, we will discuss the huge recent changes seen in global trade, and how geopolitical and environmental developments generate a need for urgent action. For global enterprises, navigating disruption and working towards decarbonising the world have become the “new normal”.
Building resilience, therefore, is more important than ever. Mr. Chandavoine will share how Maersk, a leading logistics provider and the second largest ocean carrier in the world, is responding to modern challenges and helping customers build resilience in their supply chains.
The discussion promises to offer unique insights into how Maersk is preparing for the future through greener logistics solutions, and the key levers with which to deliver reliability and predictability.
