LRQA's recent Leadership Series in Dubai was a key precursor to COP28, addressing vital issues in sustainability, ESG trends, and cyber assurance in the Middle East.

During the event, dedicated panel sessions explored the intricate landscape of sustainability in global trade. LRQA’s Head of Consulting, Erin Lyon, was joined by Rajesh Garg (Group CFO at Landmark Group), Ibrahim Elmatbouly (Group Senior Manager of Standards, Systems & Governance, Group HSE at DP World), and Vito Saluto (Head of ESG at AMEA Power), to provide valuable guidance to global businesses navigating the opportunities and challenges. LRQA’s expert voice on hydrogen energy services, Leanne Halliday, also delivered a session exploring potential challenges and vulnerabilities in the evolving energy landscape.

Martin Blackburn, Chairman of LRQA, took the stage to further outline the new era of landscape in which we find ourselves, and LRQA's dedication to delivering solutions aligned to clients' changing requirements and organizational goals in that context.
