Sustainability matters: Is enough being done and who is doing what?
As the issue of sustainability continues to be at the forefront of global awareness, various initiatives and activities demonstrate the extent to which institutions are taking the matter more seriously. But is enough being done and is there sufficient understanding of the issues at play here?
GTPA is excited to announce that Lisa McAuley, CEO of the GTPA will be speaking at GTR MENA 2020 in #Dubai on February 17-18, the most comprehensive and long-established #tradefinance gathering for the #MiddleEast & North #Africa!

- Developing standards for greater market clarity: Working across stakeholders to achieve greater standardisation in terminology, principles, requirements for and control systems used
