What Attendees Say
"One of the highlights of the event was the series of informative sessions and workshops. These sessions covered a wide array of topics, including sustainable packaging, waste reduction, and energy management. I especially gained value from the Executive Micro-Summit, where I networked with other sustainability leaders in the industry to discuss opportunities and challenges related to scope 3 CO2 emissions. This summit provided a unique platform for exchanging ideas and strategies, and it was incredibly beneficial to hear different perspectives on tackling these complex issues. Networking opportunities were abundant, allowing attendees to connect with like-minded professionals and share best practices."
