And very simply, we are there to make people understand the commercial realities of sustainability as a business.
We're not there to really make you change your product line, do anything with products or anything like that. I mean, if you serve amazing products and services, it's about understanding how you come across as a sustainable business, whether that's through risk.
But ultimately, we created this because we know what the problem is. Well, I've lived it. I've been a Chief Sustainability Officer, Global Sustainability Director.
I've been as part of commercial teams and tendering teams and bidding teams and purchasing teams, all my career, basically.
