Hello all!
We are the Observatorio of Corporate Social Reponsability, a think-tank based in Madrid, Spain. We have recently produced a documentary, Not for Sale, about Corporate Social Responsibility and the importance of changing the way we do business focusing on 3 major problems: corruption, environmental disasters and the violation of human rights.
The people all around the world are becoming increasingly dependent on a small number of large multinational businesses. Monsanto controls 90% of the production of genetically modified seeds. Microsoft holds 88.26% market share of the software industry, followed by apple with Mac who hold 9.93%. Everyday 150 million people throughout the world buy a Unilever product without even realising it.
POWER PLANT is a Green Gathering for Green Leaders to rub shoulders, show-and-tell, celebrate, chat and sip.
Plan to attend this unique and fun networking event for a dynamic crowd of sustainable business leaders, social entrepreneurs, eco-adventurers, green artists and more.
