International Conference - Sustainable Globalization 18 in the Netherlands & Singapore

The societal challenges that we face are greater than ever but are now on the agenda. Time is beginning to penetrate to really bring about change and to create the impact needed to make the circular transition a reality. We all commit ourselves to the Sustainable Development Goals. But how are we going to achieve the goals?

How do we make the world aware of the importance of a sustainable choice, the conscious choice for sustainable and circular products in order to make the sustainable supply possible through market demand. That is the theme of Sustainable Globalization 2018.
