4WARD’s global network is invaluable. I joined a sector call on decarbonising the built world and met people all over the world tackling it in different ways. During the call, I met an expert from Canada while being in Switzerland!  

We’ve since had multiple calls and he’s likely to become a board member of my company. This is how a global climate networking should work!
