“Australia’s dedication to sustainable development presents a unique and compelling landscape,” Valenti said.
“Our goal is to blend international best practices with local insights to drive impactful, sustainable solutions.”
The Sydney office expands AESG’s global network, which includes locations in London, Dubai, Singapore, South Africa and Saudi Arabia.
