“This SIG aims to promote sustainability, sustainable practices while creating a positive impact across the entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystems it operates in.
“For a business leader in the north west to be invited to be a co-chair on a sustainability initiative at a global scale is a pleasure and a privilege.”
