Andrew Perolls, CEO of Greengage, comments: “An overriding theme from speakers at the Sustainability Conference was that it’s no longer sufficient for organisations to have a sustainability policy. They now need to show tangible actions, measure the results and have a programme of continued improvement.
“The fact that we attracted double the number of attendees this year is a clear indication of the desire from industry colleagues to come and learn about best practice and be inspired to take action in their own organisations.”
