Cases
 Business challenge
Each New Earth Leaders program has a central theme connected to corporate social responsibility. Mutual Learning Journeys aims to ensure an optimal learning environment by making sure that all participants in a particular program work or deal with similar issues. The thematic cases that are central during the journey on the one hand provide new insights to deal with sustainability issues in your own business environment and on the other hand contribute to the acceleration and optimalisation of the learning process.
 This action learning environment allows for personal and organization development on the following themes; value-driven leadership, working with sustainability, working with diversity and furthering change in a dynamic multi-stakeholder environment that is under pressure.
In each program the group will work in teams with the four main themes of the Earth Charter;
Team I. Respect and care for the community of life.
Team II. Ecological integrity.
Team III. Social and economic justice.
Team IIII. Democracy, non-violence and peace.
Examples of themes and business cases
Public-private partnerships: during a program of a week participants work on identifying market opportunities for companies considering environmental impact collaboration with NGO’s and government.
Sustaining the supply chain: during a program of a week a group stake-holders of the meat supply chain make a joint effort to see how they can minimize the environmental impact and maximize social benefits for farmers in Brazil.
Sustainable cities: during a program of a week a network of organizations in urban planning, regional development, constructing and consultantancy work on creating a regional development plan to create a model town for sustainability, based on the idea of transition towns and including all social aspects, involving local companies and entrepreneurs.

Company case
The New Earth Leaders program offers participants new insights to further sustainable change in their business environment and offers opportunities for personal and professional development.
During the program all participants bring in a relevant case from their company in relation to the main theme of the program. Frequent reflections on the case during the exchange program enable participants to learn about different sustainable and innovative ways to deal with the case. Accurate guidance during the implementation phase stimulates participants to develop a practical and realistic plan to solve the business case and create opportunities for your company in a dynamic environment.
