Datum Electronics, a local manufacturing company, based in East Cowes, announces a local student competition, giving pupils from all local schools, the chance to express their ideas on the theme of ‘Sustainability through Innovation’.
Mila Darling, PR and Digital Marketing Executive at Datum Electronics, explains,
“Datum Electronics truly believe that the Island is not only a great place to grow up, but also a thriving community for business and industry.
“We’re sure that students have their own ideas about the future, innovations and sustainability and what they can mean to the Island, and we’d like them to show them to us and lead the way.”
Adopt best practices in all that we do
Sustainability is a big part of today’s conversations, both locally and globally. Being able to meet the needs of today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
To make sure we don’t fail future generations, we have to adopt best practices in all that we do.
