the GSN
The Global Sustainability Network
Welcome to the Global Sustainability Network, a community and platform that's passionate and committed to delivering Goal 8 of the 17 Global Goals.

This website explains the journey of the Global Sustainability Network (GSN). With our initial meetings at the Vatican, involvement of business leaders and a host of institutions around the world - we've held hundreds of meetings and thousands of conversations throughout 2016.

We hope this place helps explain our role and our aims and we welcome your involvement in helping to achieve the goal!
