Join us on 28th & 29th April when a number of member companies and guests will join us for a very special event looking at how others are tackling the sustainability challenge. We will be covering everything from sustainability strategy to sustainable innovation – seeing how sustainability considerations (environmental, social, financial) are being integrated into all company systems including design, research and development (R&D) and day to day operations.
