WISTA (Women?s International Shipping & Trading Association) Norway has joined forces with WISTA International and the IMO at Nor-Shipping 2019 to highlight, discuss and investigate how increased diversity within maritime businesses can lead to enhanced corporate performance. This year will see WISTA?s fourth Waves of Change conference at Your Arena for Ocean Solutions, with 'Diversity for Profit' as the central theme for the event June 5 at the DNB Ocean Stage in Hall B of the Nor-Shipping exhibition in Lillestrom.
'This is a fundamentally important issue for businesses, society and the sustainability of our industry,' said WISTA Norway vice president Siv Remoy-Vangen.
'For maritime to prosper today, tomorrow and far into the future we need the best brains, talent and the broadest base of experience and perspectives,' she said.
'We believe that the companies that embrace that approach, encouraging and enabling diversity, will be the ones that profit. It is, in many ways, simple common sense, but nevertheless it is not always understood in business.
'Our high level speakers will dive into diversity, discussing subjects ranging from how greater diversity in business can be achieved, with an emphasis on what works within the maritime context, to how it fits into a sustainable investment environment and benefits company stakeholders. It?s an exciting programme for a crucial debate,' said Ms Remoy-Vangen.
