  18. At the corporate level, are you currently partnering with NGOs on specific EHS projects/programs?

  19. If Yes, please list each project: *Each is addressed independently.

  20. What do you feel are the most significant benefits of business/NGO partnerships?

  21. What do you feel are the main drawbacks of business/NGO collaborations?

  22. What do you feel is the biggest barrier to business forming collaborations with NGOs to work on EHS projects?

  23. Do you envision your company actively engaged in a business/NGO collaboration in three years from now?

  24. Does your company have a specific practice that you feel is important to maximizing the business value of your activities in outside organizations and/or with business/NGO partnerships?

  25. Other comments regarding this topic? • I would be interested in ways companies measure value received. I am looking forward to examples of positive partnerships. Although we have no current corporate partnering with NGOs, we have in the past collaborated with an NGO to set up and maintain some wetland areas which was very positive for both groups. • Is there a greaterrole for GEMI to play in fostering relationships with NGOs? • It appears that there is a real opportunity to both “right size” the number of memberships and better formalize a system for sharing EHS information from memberships within my company. • Pressure will continue to increase to minimize participation in outside organizations.

  26. Bonus Question! Interested volunteers to help with benchmarking surveys. • David Seep (BNSF Railway) • Carol Cala (Eastman Kodak) • Elsie Rivera Palabrica (Abbott) • We should keep it at 1. Thank You!
