Stena CEO named as transport group chair

Niclas Mårtensson takes over from group chief executive at PSA International, Tan Chong Meng.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to shape the agenda that will enable the transition to fossil-free, inclusive, and safe movement of goods,” said Mårtensson.

“The World Economic Forum brings together such a vast diversity of political leaders and influential people from business and the civil society who are all engaged in collaborating to create actual change for a better world.”

With his new role announced at this year’s meeting in Davos, Mårtensson will, over the next two years, provide leadership for the community, help define the industry agenda, and identify where action is needed.

A key role for Mårtensson will be to help define ways to facilitate a fossil-free supply chain and transport industry.

“While the world currently sets high goals for sustainability, the necessary infrastructure to achieve these goals often falls short, for example when it comes to electrification,” said Mårtensson.

“In my role as governor chair, I have a responsibility to make my voice heard and influence the policies that are crucial for our industry’s inevitable transformation.”
