Maersk dicuss ESG and Trade at WTO Global Forum

ESG Regulations and their impact on global supply chains was one of the central topics at last week’s #WTOPublicForum

Regulations are key to accelerating sustainable trade. They create obligations on stakeholders, and make for a level playing field for business.

But these regulations are new and complicated. We are all learning. How do we avoid unintended consequences such as shrinking of supply chains, regional fragmentation, and marginalisation of SMEs in developing economies?

A pleasure to represent #maersk as part of a fantastically constructive panel discussing this with Mona Haddad Peter Swartz Sarah Thorn, moderated by Sol (Soledad) Leal-Wennmann.

There is much to be done, but great to see the open collaboration between business, regulators and policy makers on this.

Thanks also to Kimberley Botwright for creating a platform for this crucial discussion.
