Sustainable Week is a private initiative that tackles sustainability in its three dimensions: economical, social and environmental. We aim to contribute to the fulfilment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Sustainable Week will become a meeting point for long career path experts who will evaluate sustainability in Europe and will also present the challenges we will have to confront in the next couple of years.
