In it, we reflect on the evolution of the Brazilian ethanol industry as it continues to flourish, diversifying from its strong sugarcane ethanol base to develop a corn ethanol industry and now becoming a centre for the development of advanced biofuels; building on its strong domestic market to expand internationally; and pivoting from motor fuels to sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), embracing the opportunities presented by new regulation.

HFW Hong Kong is proud to share the successful launch of "Breakfast Club" as part of the Hong Kong office's Diversity and Inclusion programme, with three breakfast gatherings held in March, April and June 2024. The Breakfast Club aims to foster connections by providing a platform for our colleagues to share ideas, thoughts and experiences – whether they are work-related or personal. Each gathering featured a unique theme: Women's Day in March, Administrative Professional Day in April, and a warm welcome to our newly joined construction team in June. These themes sparkly lively conversations among our diverse group of colleagues. We extend special thanks to Karen Cheung for spearheading the establishment of this initiative and for organising each gathering. The Breakfast Club is fully supported by Peter Murphy, the Head of the Hong Kong Office, and Gordon Gardiner, the Head of the D&I group in Hong Kong. As we move forward, the Hong Kong office remains committed to fostering inclusivity and diversity in our workplace. #DiversityandInclusion #BreakfastClub #HFWHongKong #InclusiveWorkplace #D&I
