with Savera Weerasinghe & Chullaka Hapuarachchi

This talk will focus on the lessons learned on their journey to changing the course of traditional businesses to provide sustainable packaging, transform traditional mindsets and explore the responsibility of businesses, at the intersection of people and the planet, to be regenerative and in service to our living ecology.
