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."

Additional COP28 activities

Fugro will participate in multiple other COP28 activities. For Heine, this includes a TED-talk
style Ocean Climate Spotlight on 5 December in the Ocean Decade + OceanX Pavilion,
which is also located inside the 'Blue Zone'. Heine's talk will emphasise industry's vital role in
the Ocean Decade, highlighting the importance of data sharing.
