Eco Expo Asia was open to the public free of charge today, with activities in addition to the dialogue session including guided tours, upcycling workshops, green markets and environmental seminars. Furthermore, the event’s first ESG Employment Base was in operation to publicise employment and development opportunities for people interested in joining the environmental, social and governance sector.
