Testimonial

I attended two courses – Environmental, Social and Governance Pillar of Sustainability and Introduction to ESG and Carbon Footprint Management. Through the days, I learnt the basics of Sustainability, ESG challenges, the progress and through process across industries; also best practices in ESG reporting, managing carbon footprints, and maximizing ESG positive outcomes. This is an immense opportunity for all of us to educate ourselves on Sustainability matters, and work to see how we can bring our contribution through the work streams we are involved in.
