The Plogging Visions roundtable featured experts such asDavid Serrano, ESG Director of Barcelona Serveis Municipals, Andrea Comaposada,Eduard Jornet, and Mario Vizcarro, who discussed the synergy between sports andsustainability. We also heard from Christian Pétron, Director of Photographyfor Le Grand Bleu, and awarded the Plogger of the Year, a recognition presentedby Sandro Picasso.
