“It is important to let people know how complicated the sustainability process can be. This is not to dissuade them from pursuing sustainability, but to make sure they are properly prepared for what they may encounter. Regardless of the difficulty, it is essential that companies pursue sustainability as this is what is now expected in our industry.” – Daniela Schaff, Wisk Head of Sustainability
