“At the first event I attended, I conversed with more than six different leaders of industry in the sustainability movement. Since that meeting I’ve followed up with a number of the contacts that I made which have led to opportunities for partnership, client relationships and friendship. The value of the TSSS event was not only to get informed about current sustainability news, but more importantly to further the work I do in sustainability through connecting with like-minded leaders. I look forward to attending many more successful TSSS events and collaborating with sustainability change-makers.”
