Mr. Alexander Gendis, CEO of Beta Glass, opened the event by reflecting on the Company’s 50-year journey of innovation and sustainability. He underscored the importance of collective action in tackling environmental challenges, particularly by legacy companies: “As we celebrate half a century of excellence, Beta Glass is more determined than ever to leverage our legacy as a driving force for environmental change”, Mr. Gendis said, and added: “The path to a sustainable future requires strong partnerships and bold actions, and we are proud to lead this charge in Nigeria.”
