EC News DeskAnthesis Group expanded its Middle East service offering with the strategic appointment of Arvind Gautam, as Principal Consultant. Based in Dubai, UAE, Arvind brings over 11 years of sustainability and green economy expertise to Anthesis in the Middle East, having previously advised Governments and private organisations across India and the Middle East, on sustainability issues regarding oil & gas, transport, power & utility, and manufacturing.
