3 £24.00 Foreword Resilience and sustainability An article by McKinsey & Company ahead of the latest United Nations Climate Change Conference addressed the ‘devilish duality’ of how CEOs can square resilience with the net zero promise. Passenger shipping businesses were hit particularly hard by the pandemic, so leaders may have been tempted to park sustainability initiatives as they focused on building resilience. But McKinsey’s belief is that the right response is ‘and’, not ‘or’. So it’s encouraging to see that as our sector demonstrates its resilience in recovery, sustainability continues to be a priority. “We’re always pushing our suppliers to make their products or processes more environmentally friendly, and we’re also introducing sustainability clauses into some of our contracts,” says Trevor Young, vice president of newbuilding and refurbishment at MSC Cruises, in our cover story (page 36). “If stakeholders across the supply chain work together, we’ll hopefully reach a stage where the whole cruise ship interior design industry is operating with a truly circular approach.” The ‘Save the Sea’ fresco by German graphic artist Alexander Flämig, for the hull of newbuild MSC Euribia, inspired MSC’s cover design for this 2023 issue of Cruise & Ferry Interiors. Sustainability features throughout this issue, including in our keynote with Michael Ungerer, president of Explora Journeys (page 12). He says: “Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated in our dedication to responsible sourcing of materials and the inclusion of eco-friendly details.” We are immensely proud to be announcing the launch of the Sustainable Maritime Interiors Declaration (page 42) at Cruise Ship Interiors Design Expo Americas in Miami.
