"My experience as an Environment Safety & Sustainability Senior Consultant is a valuable asset in understanding and passing on the key points of the Green Marine Europe program to participating companies. My knowledge of many industrial sectors, in addition to maritime, allows me to take a particularly pedagogical approach to the participants, with the aim of promoting the program, sharing best management practices between participants, different maritime sectors or other sectors and thus taking an active part in the sustainability movement in the maritime industry”.
