Globethics Board Convenes at Bossey for Strategic Discussion and Mutual Learning |
|
|
|
At the beginning of June, our Board of Foundation met at Château de Bossey, near Geneva, the very place where Globethics was founded 22 years ago. Newly elected as well as established members came together for the first time to share their unique expertise and discuss Globethics' impact and strategy for the coming years. With G7 leaders convening at the same time just across the lake in Evian, it felt particularly relevant to renew the conviction that human dignity must be at the heart of every decision, whether made around a board table or at the highest levels of global leadership. |
