Construction News Image
Northern Ireland fit out specialist Mivan has taken part in an international conference on the energy transition and global climate neutrality.

The firm attended the recent World Sustainable Energy Days (WSED). The event was held from 28 February to 03 March 2023 in Wels/Austria. The whole energy transition sector met, with over 650 experts from 60 countries participating in the conference.

Michael Girvan, SHEQ Officer with an environmental specialism represented Mivan alongside a number of other companies from Northern Ireland, all through an application process with Invest Northern Ireland. Michael was able to attend three conferences and the trade show to get a great understanding of energy security. The conferences included: European Energy Efficiency Conference; Energy Efficiency Policy Conference; and Industrial Energy Efficiency Conference.

Michael commented: "Mivan really strives to improve sustainability, we are doing well but we can always do better. The WSED event is a fantastic conference with a huge number of experts from all over the world. I was able to gather information of how Mivan can adapt, change and improve current processes, tasks and outputs. This will help us achieve our sustainability targets – which will be published later this year.

"I would like to thank the British Embassy in Vienna for being really supportive, especially Miles Fisher for all the help, guidance and advice provided. I look forward to attending again next year."

The next edition of the World Sustainable Energy Days will be held from 06-08 March 2024 in Wels /Austria.
