Sustainable Development Sector Committee

As companies are challenged to remain competitive in today’s ever-changing world, it is essential that businesses ensure they have a positive impact on society and the environment. The role of the Sustainable Development Committee is to promote exchanges and support the members on the various aspects of sustainability.
The Committee hosts discussions, cross committee events and initiatives, collaborative sessions, and workshops centred around sustainability. We also organise offsite visits to business sites.
