Leadership thoughts

Speaking on Fugro's role at COP28, Heine stated: "As a leading member of the ocean
business community, our engagement at COP28 is both a privilege and a responsibility.

By actively participating in these global discussions, we aim to drive positive change,

not just within our organisation, but across the industries we serve and the regions
where we work. Sustainability isn't just a concept for us; it's a fundamental part of our

identity."

David Millar, Fugro's Government Accounts Director added: "Fugro is deeply committed
to advancing ocean science for a safe and liveable world, delivering Geo-data solutions

that support science-based action and informed policy decisions. Our work extends
beyond data and technology; it's about safeguarding our oceans, understanding their

complexities and working hand-in-hand with global partners to ensure a sustainable
future for our planet."
