| | The word “sustainability” has almost as many definitions as it does approaches. Some companies focus on developing and scaling up low-impact materials and boosting circularity. Others pour their energies into compliance, keeping up with the latest legislation and using technology to trace what’s in their supply chain. Others focus their efforts on people, from workers overseas to C-Suite executives making the decisions.
No matter the path, all roads lead to a more sustainable future. Our Sustainability Summit: The Road to 2030 will explore all approaches with our dynamic agenda of panels and expert speakers. Titled “Promises vs. Progress,” the full day of content will help you turn intentions into action. |
