Rather, it was developed by our team of industry consultants and top management who regularly interact with a diverse set of professionals both within the sustainability industry as well as from the conventional sector.
The emphasis while developing Get Set Green was thus to provide answers to key questions that aspirants have. You will thus find a number of FAQs all along.
