Destination: Globe 2014

Next month Call2Recycle will host booth #1507 at the renowned “GLOBE” event in Vancouver, British Columbia. 

2014 will mark the 13^th Globe event, run biannually since 1993 when the Globe Foundation was established as a not-for-profit, private, international business foundation, promoting the business case for sustainable development.  Since then, Globe has continued to champion the premise that eco-efficiency is not only viable and preferable, but also profitable.  As such the organisation, and its events, attract a wide variety of audiences from both the public and private sectors, as well as NGOs, non-profits, and of course the environment.

Globe’s last event in 2012 was no exception, and drew almost 10,000 overall participants from 58 different countries.  650 of these were presidents or CEOs, meaning the event is also a favourite amongst business networkers.  This year’s event will likely exceed these stats, and has been designed around eight themes that, internationally, comprise some of the most pertinent environmental issues we face today: The Changing Energy Landscape; Food & Water Security - Protecting our Most Precious Resources; Towards the Circular Economy; Responsible Resource Management; Clean Capitalism - Financing Sustainable Innovation; Building Resilient Cities; China – Our Shared Future; The Aboriginal Advantage.  

Globe 2014 will be at the Vancouver Convention Centre, 26-28 March.
