The CoBS – Council on Business & Society – will shortly be on a summer break, returning on September 1st to once again, and with your help, positively change the world!
In the meantime, it could be a case of “there’s always that one summer that changes you.” For example, the CoBS Insights site remains open for all those wishing to gen up on top research made readable in the fields of CSR, sustainability, and ESG. It could change you. It could change how you manage your team, your relationship with your boss, how you adapt your startup or company to making a positive imprint on your business, society, and planet. Or help you find purpose and meaning in your work.
