Dubai: Expo 2020 Dubai aims to be one of the most sustainable World Expos in history, supporting the UAE’s continued efforts to build cleaner, safer, and healthier communities for its people.
With sustainability as the drive factor, the inaugural World Sustainable Business Forum (WSBF) on July 12 aims to bring together leaders who are committed to innovating and creating positive change on a local, national, regional and global scale.
WSBF is a joint initiative by Gulf News, the leading English-language newspaper in the UAE and IFIICC, a global organisation committed to empowering trusted sustainable strategic partnerships. “For us, the forum is an important event that will provide the ideal podium for one of the key questions of our time: sustainability,” says Anshuman Joshi, Director Sales & Publishing Director at Gulf News.
