For less than $1 a day, discover a world of knowledge, tools, inspiration and experts to help you achieve your sustainability goals including one on one mentoring and support. It's also a great opportunity to show your customers, peers and industry your commitment to sustainable development.
As the world grows smaller, the fates of people, governments, corporations and NGOs are becoming increasingly intertwined. We are citizens of one planet, and this interdependence places an increasing responsibility on each of us not only to take ownership for our actions, but also share in our stewardship for the earth. Long-term sustainability hinges on our mutual collaboration.
Over time, we as a society have developed many bad habits, from poor design to overconsumption. Infact the World Economic Forum estimates that 80% of the US$3.2 trillion value of the global consumer good sector is lost irrecoverably each year due to the current inefficient 'make, take, waste' model. How much is that worth to your business and or community?
Join MOSS to support your organisation discover where your opportunities lie and how to turn them in to profits. There's a plethora of powerful sustainability solutions for business, and the chance to work with your industry and the community to generate jobs.
