Welcome to the June Edition of Business Enquirer Magazine, Issue 138
As we reach the halfway point of 2025, it’s clear that industries around the world aren’t just changing, they’re being reshaped. In this month’s edition of Business Enquirer, we bring you stories of people and organisations that are doing just that, reimagining what progress looks like through innovation, purpose, and determination.
We begin with Driving the Low-Carbon Future: SCB Environmental Markets’ Bethanie Castelnuovo on Sustainability, Innovation and Leadership. At a time when sustainability is more than just a buzzword, Bethanie Castelnuovo is showing what it means to lead with both heart and expertise. After more than 15 years with SCB, she now wears two hats, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director, and plays a key role in helping the company push forward its mission to support the global shift to a low-carbon future. One of her proudest achievements has been building SCB’s sustainability advisory team, helping clients across the globe not only measure their carbon footprints, but also take meaningful steps towards real climate action. It’s a brilliant example of purpose meeting performance.
We’re also proud to introduce the Top 10 Startup Founders to Watch in 2025. These are the bright minds and bold voices who are building the future, one idea at a time. From clean tech and AI to digital health and fintech, these founders are creating businesses that are agile, ambitious, and grounded in impact. They’re not just launching products, they’re shaping entirely new ways of thinking, and they’re just getting started.
Turning to the Caribbean, we mark a major milestone with Mareno Marine: Celebrating 40 Years of Excellence, Innovation and Sustainable Growth. This family-run business, founded by David and his brother, has been at the heart of marine and piling construction across the region for four decades. Now with the next generation involved, the company continues to deliver top-tier projects while keeping sustainability and strong local relationships front and centre. David reflects on the early days with pride, but it’s clear the future is just as important. With deep roots across the islands and a reputation built on trust, Mareno Marine is looking ahead with confidence and purpose.
From climate-focused finance and next-generation entrepreneurship to enduring craftsmanship in construction, this issue celebrates the people and ideas that are moving the world forward. These stories aren’t just about business success, they’re about vision, values and the drive to make a lasting difference.
We hope you enjoy the read.
