... accelerating progress toward a sustainable society.

The Greening of Industry Network (GIN) is an international network of professionals from research, education, business, civil society organizations, and government, focusing on issues of industrial development, environment, and society, and dedicated to building a sustainable future.

Our Mission: The Greening of Industry Network develops knowledge and transforms practice to accelerate progress toward a sustainable society.

WHY GIN? A knowledge network is only as strong as the collective that contributes to it. The diversity of voices in GIN, the diversity of professions and disciplines and nationalities make us stand out among the many associations that you could join.
