What have you learned from vulnerability and courage that shaped your journey and work in sustainability? One GreenBiz 25 attendee shares their story of making the unseen seen.

Can we de-fossilize cosmetics? How do you really embed sustainability innovations into R&D? 

Why do we make things so complex and hard for ourselves? Agency, connection and acapella anchor this inspiring reminder that leaders can access a better blueprint for change.
