New Earth LeadersNew Earth Leaders wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door het Earth Charter programma van NCDO. In this time of great challenges, sustainable development is the answer! At the same time, these challenges provide interesting opportunities to create better and stronger businesses. Facing these problems and turning them into opportunities requires a holistic look at our way of doing business in the international arena. Now more than ever strong leadership is needed from people in all sectors of life, including business. It takes strong and competent employees to move an organisation towards sustainable and innovative practices. For companies to survive and prosper in this time of global crisis, a conscious and practical approach is necessary. The Earth Charter provides a global ethical framework, with a wide scope of themes, providing ethical and practical support for change towards a more sustainable, just and peaceful world. The program encourages participants to bring in sustainable business cases from their own organization and provides guidance for the possible implementation of solutions. “We stand at a critical moment in Earth’s history, a time when humanity must choose its future; a future which at once holds great peril and great promise” Steven Rockefeller (source: The Earth Charter in Action) New Earth Leaders uses the Earth Charter as a reference for our leadership program. |

The global economic meltdown does not seem to be another conjectural movement, but a serious demand for new ethics. The different mounting crises (economic and financial, ecological and social) force many companies to develop new and more sustainable ways of working in our globalized world. We live in a time where facing these problems on a social, ecological, economical or any level, requires an integrated look at our present situation, to see things from the whole.
