OCTOBER 15 - 16, 2019

This year’s summit will be extra special with the launch of Destination Green campaign, urging businesses and society constituents to take tangible steps in creating a sustainable world. Tiny hinges swing big doors, which is why we believe every step in the right direction matters. By pledging support for Destination Green, organizations will commit to improve their operations and practices towards a carbon-neutral world. Any organization – small or big – can claim its space as long as it has worked towards the conservation of the environment.

“I would like to stress that the efforts to achieve sustainability shall not be looked at in isolation from national development. Sustainability must be looked at as a stressing priority, and a greater responsibility towards the planet that we live in and the upcoming generations alike.”
