Ihobes suppliers want to learn more about clean technologies, climate change adaptation and green procurement
This is one of the conclusions from the survey that Ihobe conducted with its environmental consultancy suppliers during the 2021 Ihobe Suppliers Forum, held virtually on 19 February.
The meeting was opened by Ihobes General Manager, Alexander Boto. He outlined the priority lines of work, defined in the 2024 Strategic Plan and the 2021 Management Plan, which will allow Ihobe to drive its stakeholders in areas such as climate action, the circular economy and environmental sustainability.
Boto took a close look at the projects at the heart of Ihobes activity in 2021 and stressed the suppliers strategic value to achieve the environmental goals arising from those projects. You are a key factor for our success, the Ihobe General Manager pointed out.
