Turning risk into opportunities

Behind every risk there is an opportunity. In the last episode in this series, Sven Mollekleiv, Senior Vice President, Group Sustainability at DNV, explains how DNV’s Global Opportunity Report focuses on turning risks into opportunities to support sustainability. In this interesting episode, Sven explains the origins and purpose of the Global Opportunity Report, and how it is being used by the UN Global Compact as the basis of their business strategy. He introduces the Global Opportunity Explorer and discusses how this innovation hub is enabling organisations to work together to create sustainable solutions. He also touches on the progress of the Global Assembly’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (‘SDGs’), and the concern that four of the 17 SDGs are falling behind the 2030 targets. Finally, Sven gives some insight into the Energy Industry Conference 2018 in Dubai, and specifically, on why businesses must be involved in creating the smarter solutions of the future. *This episode was recorded live at the Global Smart Energy Summit 2018.
