Through an ongoing series of executive interviews and other resources, the network aims to capitalize on the shared experience of its members to solve common challenges, share best practices and increase collaboration between all relevant stakeholders involved in sustainable development.

The community is designed as a shared resource center and networking platform for professionals engaged in corporate responsibility and international development, which enables users to create profiles, manage and contribute to discussions, create groups and events, and directly connect with other like-minded individuals. Several thousand members strong already, with backgrounds ranging from corporate social responsibility and microfinance to sustainable tourism and non-profit management, the network serves to enhance collaboration and facilitate idea exchange.
