On 25 April 2017, a meeting was held to explore the Terms of Reference (ToR) for an independent IOI Sustainability Advisory Panel (SAP). The meeting was constructive and a number of clear recommendations for the ToR were discussed and put forward about the scope and role as well as the mandate and independence of the panel.
