There is one place where infinity pools, waterfalls and sports courts float on open waters...superyachts. Imagine a Sunday sipping a drink and enjoying these luxuries while watching the Monaco Grand Prix. Then, enjoy all these luxuries as you transit to a secluded Greek island few days later.   As today’s superyachts boast luxuries ranging from indoor gardens and spas to helicopter de

We have been powering a more prosperous world through our Corporate Responsibility work for decades, and for many, like me, its impact is still the topic of daily conversation.
