The event was facilitated by Ms. Sunita Basnet, Head of Sustainability and Senior Faculty at TBC, alongside Dr. Anup Shrestha, Head of the School of Business at USQ.

Adding significant value to the program, Mr. Edward, Director of the UN Global Compact Network Philippines, addressed the gathering.
