Energy & Carbon Management
Operating successfully in today’s global
economy presents enormous business
opportunities, but also enormous risk. GLOBE
is where innovative technology, visionary
leadership and clear public policy come together
to shape the future of the low carbon economy.
Water
Our most abundant natural resource and the
most badly managed, water is the life blood of
business, society and our economy.
GLOBE is where the sustainable management
of the world’s water resources becomes a living
imperative shaping business and public policy.
Sustainable Finance & Investment
The global economy has been shaken to the core
in recent years and is slowly regaining strength.
But how will the financial, investment, insurance,
and capital market landscapes operate as the
world transitions to the low carbon economy of
tomorrow? GLOBE is where the answers
become clear.
Global Food Security
Feeding the world’s growing population is
becoming an increasingly troubling global
challenge. Climate change already is
threatening traditional food growing regions
and famine is a new reality in many parts of the
world. GLOBE addresses head on what
could become the most pressing dilemma
of our generation.
Clean Capitalism
The world of business is changing.
Increased competition, growing consumer
and stakeholder demands for more
transparency in the marketplace, and tighter
government regulation has given clean
capitalism a new face. How can we make
‘sustainability’ the fundamental operating
parameter for corporate policy, financial
management and product design? GLOBE
has the answers.
Technology & Innovation
The pace of technological innovation has
accelerated almost beyond comprehension.
Leading companies are using new and more
energy efficient technologies to innovate across
product lifecycles and to ‘future proof’ their
brands. GLOBE is where they find the
inspiration for change.
Cities
The future of humanity is an urban future.
Cities must become more efficient, healthier,
more resilient and more compact. GLOBE
incubates the ideas that will shape where we
live, work and play.
