Employer Benefits

Companies are strongly encouraged to sponsor their employees' participation in NEXT by allocating time and financial assistance.

Despite the economic downturn, attention to sustainability initiatives has increased. Leading companies—such as Wal-Mart, Google, GE, PepsiCo and Goldman Sachs, among many others—are realizing the strategic benefit of proactively addressing increasingly urgent pressures. By sponsoring an employee's participation in NEXT, you are investing in keeping your company competitive and resilient.

Benefits for sponsoring an employee include:

• Provide talented staff with an exceptional professional
  development opportunity;
• Create an ambassador of Corporate Social Responsibility
  within your organization;
• Equip your organization to effectively implement sustainability
  principles into operations;
• Cultivate the expertise necessary to succeed in an increasingly
  competitive environment;
• Visibly demonstrate corporate commitment to environmental
  and social good.
