At our recently concluded Sales Strategy Meet held in Negombo – Sri Lanka, we had an opportunity to think about the future of our planet. Ensuring a greener earth, for our future generation, is something which as responsible citizens is close to our hearts. Nation states also try to highlight concerns by holding meetings under the sea, on Everest and in rain forests in attempt to raise our awareness about the dangers of global warming. Last December, at The United Nations Copenhagen Climate Summit, world leaders called for the highest level of ambition and momentum. The complexities in attempting to realise a united climate change policy had become even more apparent. As a global community we have failed in our responsibility to future generations.
The New Year prompts us to look back and realise how we have taken earth’s resources, in many ways, for granted. The movement to “pay back our dues” to our home, our planet, has become a challenge for all of us. As parents and as a company, it is a challenge we cannot afford to fail. We have achieved many things, of which we should be proud, but we must focus on the future and build on our past experiences. The 2nd Annual Breakbulk Asia conference, Singapore mid- January, provides an excellent occasion to discuss and develop eco-friendly issues, along with discussing usual business.
My New Year resolution and expectation is for progress towards a greener environmental philosophy which will be advantageous for our families and mankind. Time is not on our side. To save our world from a global warming catastrophe we must let our hearts lead. Wish you all an eventful and promising New Year
