We are in New York City for #UNGA79 and #NYclimateweek to help push for a faster adoption of green solutions to build a better future for the next generations.
Our CEO Ester Baiget had the honor of announcing the Business Pact for the Future at the @USCIB Summit as well as attending a UN @globalcompact board meeting alongside UN secretary-general António Guterres.
"The world is at a pivotal moment. Only 17% of the SDGs are on track to be implemented, and we must mitigate the disruptive consequences of climate change and bring people’s needs back into balance with those of our planet. The UN is at the center of enabling strong partnerships, and we are here to bring the voice of a better world with biology," she said.
