Suppliers in the Spotlight Webinar Series

We feel it is high time to shine a light on the heroes along the supply chain who put their hearts and minds into supporting people, planet and the economy with their innovative products and sustainability services.

This is a bi-monthly supplier showcase hosted by the IS Council, with each edition featuring six unique suppliers.

Be sure to tune in if:

- you are a procurer, influencer or decision-maker seeking suppliers that are willing to go beyond business-as-usual

- you want to stay up-to-date with the latest products and services in the infrastructure sustainability space

- you are undertaking an IS Rating and looking for collaborative partners to accelerate your pathway to better outcomes for your project.

Delivered in a snappy 45 minute lunchtime session, you will hear a quick pitch from each presenter followed by a short Q&A. If you're unable to attend the live webinar please still register as each episode will be recorded and sent to you to view in your own time.
