Our founder Gurjit Singh Lalli interviewed Michael Simmelsgaard, Chief Operating Officer of Ramboll, at our May 2022 TEDxGlasgow Salon.
Michael and Gurjit discuss Ramboll’s long term perspective on sustainability, the competitive advantages that it provides and the ability to collaborate. As well as what he thinks will prevent us from accelerating the transition to becoming ore sustainable. The two things they focus on with their 16,500+w workforce is what it means to have a dialogue around making a difference on sustainability, and supporting those who wouldn't normally speak out to become experts with a purpose.
Ronald Vernimmen, Environmental Scientist and founder of Data For Sustainability at Asia Pulp and Paper, speaks to TEDxGlasgow curator Gurjit Singh-Lalli about the importance of tropical peatlands and his work on the multidisciplinary Integrated Tropical Peatlands Research Programme (INTPREP) hosted at the National University of Singapore Environmental Research Institute.
