"Joining the 6th edition of the Orange ASEAN Factory was an outstanding experience. I learned a lot of practical tools on consultancy and at the same time broaden my concept on sustainability and circular economy. It was exciting to work in an international environment, with different backgrounds and personalities, in order to come up with innovative solutions towards circularity of resource use. Kudos to the Team for coming up with a Program that focuses and addresses the sustainability challenges in Southeast Asia. You guys rock!"
