Our company is a partner of the Agribusiness Sustainability Webinar Series , so we are glad to be able to participate in the project as guests and speaker. At the webinar, I shared our experience of adapting to climate change with colleagues from Moldova, Italy and the Netherlands. It was fascinating to learn how other companies work with this global problem and to be useful to others.

I really enjoyed the International Sustainability Business Academy, GRI non-financial reporting course. The training was quite intensive and interactive. I achieved my goals, met interesting people who shared their experiences. Now I understand where to start, how to move on and what the ESG report should contain to meet GRI standards.
