CIBR as a "Living Lab"

The CIBR aims at offering a living lab context where professionals and organizations can design, experiment and test innovative solutions that forge successful transitions to sustainability.

Together with partners, we co-create pathways to advance ways of thinking and ways of working, to translate insights into actionable steps and implement changes driving new value opportunities.

Our mission is to support organizations to drive meaningful and measurable positive impact in the way international businesses operate for contributing to a more sustainable and equitable world for all.
