The Network is a space to work in, an open forum for debate, mutual learning, and creating knowledge and action agendas. The Network is an international association open to all who are interested in the sustainability challenge, the intertwined issues of industry, environment and society. We work in research, education, business, civil society organizations, consultancies and government, representing over 50 countries. In 2003, by popular demand, we created a new membership plan, and now individuals can JOIN GIN!

In March 2000 we began evaluating the Network's first ten years and started planning for our second decade. For this transition, we dissolved the Advisory Board and Action Planning Committee and formed a temporary Working Interim Group. We want to thank all the members of the former Board, Planning Committee, and the Working Interim Group for their volunteer service in guiding the Greening of Industry Network. In 2002, we convened a new advisory board, called the International Planning Board (see Advisors), and launched the Second Decade of the Greening of Industry Network.
