WHAT
The Global Innovation Bank is an expanding collection of business innovations that create societal good. Each record of the Bank is a profile highlighting an innovation, its context, roots and impacts.
The Innovation Bank aims to provide real life answers to two guiding questions:
- What does it look like when business serves as an agent of community and world benefit?
- How can companies advance their business success and the environment in which they operate through the means and tools of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability?
The Innovation Bank features stories from many sources - from the B.A.W.B. World Inquiry, Aspen Institute's "Case Place," the UN Global Compact's cases and "Communications on Progress," as well as important stories from the media. Each nominated story is carefully screened by an editorial team to select the best innovations that extend beyond philanthropy towards a societal agenda integrated into core business practices, products, and policies.
The Innovation Bank focuses on innovations rather than companies. It is our hope that each innovation can serve as a guiding image of the future for the company-innovator and for the world at large - raising the bar for excellence in business.
