Italy and the United Arab Emirates – share a common commitment to the theme of sustainability, driven by the realisation that there is no growth and development if we are unable to look beyond our business and focus on the future of future generations and the planet.
The Dubai Expo, which is currently wrapping up, was a major worldwide showcase for the United Arab Emirates in its 50th year since its inception. There are several sectors where the two nations’ collaboration provides great chances for growth and strengthening, ranging from cultural to scientific cooperation and, of course, the economic arena.
The initiatives that several Italian and Emirati enterprises are working on, all of which share a similar thread of innovation in the service of sustainability and community involvement.
Special thanks to Etihad Credit Insurance, and in particular Massimo Falcioni and his team, for putting their skills, resources, and passion to work in the context of this important event to enhance the excellence that the two countries demonstrate in the field of sustainable and inclusive development.
We are collaborating to establish a worldwide network that will allow us to network and promote company leaders who are rethinking the notion of corporate performance by constructing it around a strategy that considers the environmental and social effects of their operations.
Extending our gratitude to Hera Group and its CEO Stefano Venier, who has been expanding the concept of art made from recycled materials with the Scart art project for over twenty years and has produced the trophies for the Global Awards.
