Mission
GLISS was founded for one reason: no one should have to navigate the complexities of sustainability work alone. We understand the resistance and scrutiny these professionals face and know that support, for the work you do and for personal well-being, matters. We believe sustainability starts with the individual, and that connecting individuals to the resources and support they need is one of the most powerful strategies to advance sustainability.
Values. We believe:
-
That sustainable systems require sustainable humans
-
That meaningful progress requires consistent, thoughtful support for both individuals and organizations on their sustainability journeys
-
Sustainability is more than an aspiration, marketing tool, or a compliance exercise; it is a critical driver of long-term business resilience, economic success, and human well-being
-
Connecting brilliant people (from around the world, and whose backgrounds span across various sectors) who rarely have the opportunity for confidential collaboration and meaningful connections, is the best tool to promote transformative changes and solutions, personally and professionally
-
That you should not have to choose between personal success, satisfaction, and fulfilment (sustainability of the self) or professional growth, development, and economic success (professional sustainability)
-
You can invest time, energy, and resources to both finding solutions for climate and environmental problems and social problems
-
Businesses can grow and be economically successful while also behaving as "good actors" who integrate sustainability into risk mitigation and corporate decision-making
