Post Event Reflections
A big thank you to Temasek Polytechnic for inviting Aeterni.eco team to share with the students at the seminar, “Learning Without Boundaries: Sustainability Reporting”, last month. We enjoyed hearing the views of our young people and learning about Temasek Polytechnic’s sustainability reporting journey.
With the Temasek Polytechnic team, we:
- exchanged notes about our materiality assessment approaches;
- commiserated over the problem of waste and waste reduction; and
- agreed that sustainability reporting must help achieve real impact and not become a distraction.
With the students, we:
- shared about skills, attitudes and tools to design their own learning and discovery journey;
- recounted our observations and challenges faced as sustainability consultants; and
- conducted two polls to facilitate a dialogue.
