During our Sustainability Dialogue next week we'll be discussing many topics, but some deserve special focus for their opportunity to inspire and educate. During the agenda, which you can find on the event website, we'll be featuring a few short presentations. The Earthshot Prize took over Singapore's imagination late last year when the country was lucky to host the award evening. We'll be hearing an inspirational talk from Sarah Cragg, Head of Asia Pacific, on discovering, spotlighting and scaling eco-innovation across the world, and how you can get involved. Vice President of the Chamber, Head of Sustainability APMEA, MSL (Global) / Publicis Groupe and Asia Lead at Salterbaxter, Suzy Goulding, will present on greenwashing and greenhushing - how to avoid both and the benefits on corporate reputation and consumer trust when you get sustainability communications right. 🌏 Register: https://lnkd.in/g_W4YR5V.
