The first Manila Bulletin Sustainability Forum goes ‘Beyond Green’ through an online event that aims to educate individuals and companies on adapting green practices.
Unjieng: In the process of my attending webinars, I often felt that this forum is mounted by one industry, so quite often the speakers are technical
Unjieng: We said it is time to go back to the basics and encourage people to understand better what sustainability is about
Unjieng on the role of companies: They are very important, because they are championing it and bringing together measures that hopefully impact their consumers.
Unjieng on the MB’s sustainability forum: The end goal is awareness and partly education, and better appreciation of the public towards companies championing sustainability.
Unjieng: Hopefully, this forum will be an eye opener for them in terms of how sustainability can be adopted in their lifestyle
