Jacqui Hocking Speaking at TED
Jacqui Hocking comments, “I am thrilled to speak at One&Only Desaru Coast’s Bonfire Legends and exchange spirited conversations about our current sustainability landscape, and some ideas on how we can cultivate greater impact collectively. Sailing around the world as a documentary filmmaker with a UN Global Climate Expedition gave me the visibility that we already have the solutions to almost every global goal, so I have made it my life’s purpose to implement them in even better ways. I hope to inspire more people to realise the importance of leveraging their work as a force for good because change comes from within, and businesses can be a stepping stone to achieving Sustainable Development Goals.”
Jerome Pichon, General Manager of One&Only Desaru Coast comments, “We are delighted to present our next edition of Bonfire Legends, focused on sustainability which has been a subject of fervent discussion for many industries as we move on from the pandemic. We are honoured to host a changemaker like Jacqui at One&Only Desaru Coast, where delivering incredible experiences are part of our brand ethos. Guests can certainly look forward to being part of more distinctive events in the year ahead.”
