We are excited to announce that Attorney Mina Kobayashi, an international attorney specializing in business and human rights, has joined Lively as an advisor starting on November 1, 2024. Attorney Kobayashi will offer her expertise and guidance to support our passion for promoting sustainability from a human rights perspective.
