Publisher of The Industry Newspaper/ Convener of The Industry Summit/ Awards Goddie Ofose, disclosed: “The fifth edition of the Industry Summit will focus on sustainable marketing, which is a purpose- driven practice that works to orientate businesses, brands and society towards a sustainable future, influencing appropriate awareness, aspiration, adoption and action across economic and socio- cultural systems by taking necessary accountability for its impacts and opportunities.
