We can create a world without poverty, because it is not the poor that create poverty
The Grameen Creative Lab’s vision is to serve society’s most pressing needs. We achieve this vision by promoting Prof. Yunus’ concept of Social Business. Unlike traditional business, a social business operates for the benefit of addressing social needs that enable societies to function more efficiently. Social Business provides a necessary framework for tackling social issues by combining business know-how with the desire to improve quality of life.

our commitments
SustainabilityAs agents of change, we constantly concentrating our efforts to make our events sustainable. In order to reach our goal to make the emissions of the GSBS 2015 transparent we are working with Caretraders – a young start-up from Copenhagen – increasing our sustainability commitment by offsetting those carbon emissions that are inevitably associated with running the conference.
InclusivenessAt GCL, our voices have different backgrounds, cultures, experiences and insights that together create the quality of the content of our events and help us develop social business ideas to produce sustainable change. In a world with inequalities, some of the most important voices are cut out. This is why GCL offers reduced tickets to participants from Least Developed Countries based on application.
ImpactWe are determined to foster long-lasting relationships between participants and make our events the beginning of great ideas for social businesses. GCL aims to create, challenge and shape ideas, and connect stakeholders with social business teams. We are committed to follow all initiatives developed with our help and during our events and report on their development.
