The panel of evaluators including representatives from EICMA, RIGHT HUB and PLEF-Planet Life Economy Foundation ETS, awarded SBS because of the company’s reusable booth structure, use of recyclable wooden structure, LED lighting and for going above and beyond to use public/electric transportation while staying in Milan during the expo.
