INSPIRING is this year's first IMS card. Three other cards will come your way in 2024, each with a selection of our not-to-be-missed resources and events. The collage has been inspired by the IMS teamwork reusing the pages of our Sustainability Mag to create a one-of-a-kind card to collect. Each time, we will highlight events, articles, and resources. Without further ado, let’s jump into B Corp Month, Digital Challenge, the Sustainability Manager Club, and the Sustainability Awards.
In March and April, be ready for:
