Globus Competence Centre for Globalization and Sustainable Development
At Globus, our people are our most important asset. Every individual connected to Globus, from our core staff members to the many external partners and researchers with whom we collaborate, makes his or her own essential contribution to the attainment of our goals – advancing solutions to globalization and its impact on sustainable development, through the delivery of the highest quality research and education in the field.

- The European Academy for Business in Society (EABIS), a unique alliance of companies and academic institutions that, with the support of the European Commission, are committed to integrating social issues into business theory and practice in Europe.
