Over four days from 11-14 March 2019, a record number of 190 participants from across the globe converged on central Bangkok for Bonsucro’s annual flagship event Global Week to discuss, share and drive impacts in sustainable sugarcane.
Sessions focused on audience participation and demonstrated progress and commitments towards certification, followed by a field visit to Thailand’s sugar and bioenergy producer, Mitr Phol’s production facilities.
The conference attracted speakers from varying backgrounds including farmers, financiers, social and environmental NGOs, multinational brands, academics, mill groups and government officials from key sugarcane producing countries across the globe.
