Navigating Integrity: Battling Corruption in the Maritime Domain The vast expanse of the world's oceans has been a stage for tales of adventure, commerce, and more recently, tales of the covert operations of corruption. This intricate dance of illicit dealings threatens not just the integrity of the maritime industry, but global trade and commerce at large. However, where challenges arise, so do champions of change. Upcoming in the 2023 Global Sustainability Conference by 1Sustainability, is a session that sails deep into these tumultuous waters: Collective Action in Fighting Corruption in the Maritime Industry Guiding this voyage is Øistein Jensen, the Chief Sustainability Officer at Odfjell SE. His dual role, including his pivotal position on the board of the The Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN), places him at the vanguard of efforts to stem the tide of corruption in maritime operations. Jensen's insights promise to unveil the extent of corruption's shadow, and more importantly, how collective action, backed by firm resolve and strategic initiatives, can illuminate a path of integrity for the industry. Join us on October 20, from 10:00 am - 10:30 am US ET, as we anchor into this critical dialogue. This is not just a call for awareness, but a summons for collective responsibility and action. In collaboration with 1BusinessWorld, the 1Sustainability Conference remains committed to ushering conversations that challenge the status quo and inspire global change. https://buff.ly/3RL1EqQ #MaritimeIntegrity #FightCorruption #OdfjellSustainability #MACNAction #MaritimeIndustryInsights #CollectiveResponsibility #GlobalTradeEthics #OceanicIntegrity #SustainableSeas #CorruptionFreeOceans #MaritimeAntiCorruption #SeasOfChange #MaritimeChangeMakers #EthicalNavigation #CleanSeas #1Sustainability #MaritimeInnovations #IntegrityAtSea #GlobalMaritimeEthics #TradeForChange #OceansOfOpportunity
