SustainPHL 2022 Award Recipients

Drumroll for this year’s award recipients

We’re still overjoyed at the 5th annual SustainPHL, which was celebrated last evening (October 20th) at the Academy of Natural Sciences.

After an almost three-year hiatus, it was incredible to celebrate this year’s nominees with over 200 of our closest friends.
