GLOBE Series

     I just learned about an interesting CSR-based project named GLOBE.  It has been in existence since 1990, and, as the name suggests, is an international collaboration. 

     A description on its website says "GLOBE draws the best and brightest of the international sustainable business community, making it an unsurpassed forum for learning and networking."  GLOBE is comprised of dozens of leaders in a variety of specialties: corporate sustainability, finance advisors, climate panels, and other institutional leaders who support and guide GLOBE in its initiatives.

     GLOBE's main offering is the summit it holds every two years in Vancouver, CA.  There it hosts thousands of companies and leaders with the goal of expanding environmental business innovation through networking and idea-spreading.  Its website describes the summit as "where leaders come to devise winning strategies to conserve resources, ignite innovation, and develop ideas and partnerships that help them be more resilient, more efficient, and reduce risk." 

     Examples of the innovations and solutions that result from the collaborations of GLOBE can be found on its website.  The project can also be followed on Twitter by @GLOBE_Series.
