Speaking about sustainable energy and the Prince Albert ll Foundation, H.E. Mr Bernard FAUTRIER Vice-president Chief Executive Officer of the Prince Albert II Foundation, Minister Plenipotentiary, Special Adviser to the Prime Minister on sustainable development issues said, “I’ve followed the environmental issue for 35 years and, in the beginning, nobody really knew what it was. Maybe five percent of the population thought there was a problem, and businesses were defiant to develop a green plan. One of the powerful things about the Monaco Foundation is that it’s one of the few in this domain around the world that isn’t recognized as having a corporatized agenda, so it’s a genuinely neutral voice pushing climate change and the green agenda in the world that is really well respected. This recognition helps our organization to be able to get our own messages out around the importance of research and innovation to make a fundamental change to the lives of people and the planet.”
Raffle coupons go on sale exclusively at Robinsons, Dubai Festival City Mall from 21st April and will be sold online starting in June at www.inthekitchenwithstars.com.
