The Global Network for Corporate Citizenship is an international alliance of leading corporate responsibility experts and "close to market" academic centers around the world, working together

• to advance research, advocacy and management education on the changing role of business in society and

We are committed to

• developing a global understand- ing of corporate citizenship, built on local expertise and practice

As the roles and responsibilities of business, civil society, governments and international institutions are changing, there is a need for a new social contract, including new models of cross-sector collabora- tion as well as responsible, sustainable and responsive business practices. GNCC connects experts and centers as a global community designed to motivate, empower and support companies worldwide to tap their assets and strenghts for creating sustainable value for societies and shareholders.
