Katie shares insights into future trends, including the potential for emissions caps and the increasing importance of managing methane emissions (yes, including cow farts!).Join us for practical steps to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape, turn sustainability into a competitive advantage, and have a bit of fun while doing it.
