Advancing Opportunities for Enterprise and the Environment
|
|
In 1993 the GLOBE Foundation, a not-for-profit private business
Foundation, was established in Vancouver to carry forward our
mandate to promote the business case for sustainable development.
Our philosophy? Companies can do well by doing good without
sacrificing the bottom line, and environmental challenges bring
enormous opportunity for the business sector.
Our three guiding principles:
- Environmental problems are business opportunities.
- Companies that can provide clean technologies and solutions
will prosper.
- Proactive organizations that embrace environmental
sustainability will be more competitive.
Since 1993, these emerging truths have guided and shaped our
activities as we promote and frame sustainability as a sound
business strategy. Each of the areas in which the GLOBE Foundation
operates revolves around amplifying the concept that protecting the
environment will result in a better bottom line for business.
Eco-efficiency is profitable not only for those who devise the
solutions, but also those that use them. All of our
activities, from our events series to our consulting and
communication products, mobilize these ideas into the culminating
result of being the first entity to focus on developing the
business of the environment - not only in Canada,
but around the globe.
