We are thrilled that Site Search & Select has been selected by AstraZeneca for the "Lead in Sustainability" Accelerator Program.  As more and more large corporations journey through their own ESG process, they will ultimately require their suppliers to meet their rigorous sustainability goals before they can partner together. This is a tremendous opportunity to position Site Search & Select at the forefront of the meetings industry to work sustainably and help all our clients achieve their ESG goals in the meeting planning space and throughout our supply chain."
