Andreas Kkais Andreas Kkais – COSMOS SOLUTIONS Managing Director HOW DID YOU FIND THE PROCESS OF FOLLOWING THE WEAVER PROGRAMME?
The Weaver programme was easy to follow, and its points system made it clear from the outset what was required to achieve the gold accreditation in each area and,from the outset, Nicola - the head of our sustainability team - was relentless in pursuit of gold accreditation in all five areas. The support we received was excellent, and the feedback provided throughout was invaluable.
