We are pleased to announce that we will be reconvening the Sustainable Brands KL conference on March 23rd and 24th, 2021. This conference (SB’21 KL), will be the sixth Sustainable Brands conference in Kuala Lumpur, but with a little difference in that it will be a virtual (online) conference.

The theme for SB’21 KL is Regenerative Sustainability and we have confirmed some very relevant topics and speakers to explore this new frontier in the sustainability movement. We will look at regenerative sustainability as a design philosophy and delve into the applications of this to various sectors, including agriculture, business & economy, organizations & leadership, culture and development.
