"Winning the Global Sustainability Award has amplified our commitment to proving that student consulting can drive meaningful impact beyond client deliverables. The recognition validated our "180 Degrees Cleaner" initiative—where we've supported 12 UN SDGs across projects while building a culture of action through our three pillars: operations, partnerships, and education. It's given us momentum to scale and has empowered our team to demonstrate that embedding sustainability into everything we do is achievable. We're grateful for the platform provided by GLT and the Global Branch Awards to inspire other branches to expand their focus beyond projects and create lasting change. "
