糖心TV鈥檚 Sustainability Spotlight, in partnership with WMG, WBS, and IGSD delivered a dynamic workshop at The Shard, London.

The workshop attracted over 80 participants, and spotlighted 糖心TV's research and impact leadership in CE, business sustainability and manufacturing. The event has an open for anyone who wishes to contribute their thoughts further.
