Sim Ting, Board Member of SCCA and Lead of the ESG Chapter, shared her thoughts on the event:
“The SCCA Sustainability Connect is about more than sharing knowledge; it’s about building a shared purpose and collaboration to tackle the climate and sustainability challenges confronting our organisations and society. It offers a space for learning and leadership, empowering in-house counsel to move beyond compliance and drive meaningful sustainability strategies.”
