At CGSL, we are committed to providing the very best technical and legal analysis of all sustainability issues. At the core of this commitment, is the belief that the earth, which we occupy and benefit from its resources and beauty, deserves only the best of our efforts to make it sustainable for all.
We know that the world is constantly changing and so must our approach to keeping it sustainable. We believe that many of the tools previously applied to earth and societal problems have not produced the best results. We are therefore committed to exploring new and dynamic ways of addressing the world’s sustainability problems through the law.
We believe that the world’s sustainability problems cannot be solved if we ignore the honest and strong moral principles that prioritize our planetary health over other gains. Our utmost interest is the attainment of a world that is sustainable for both the present and future generations and we will not shift at any cost.
We understand that sustainability is a global concern that cuts across multiple industries and interests. No one can do it alone. We are therefore always open to sharing and working with organizations and individuals who are committed to the safety of our world and a sustainable future for all.
We are a non-profit and apolitical organization. We will continue to maintain our freedom and control from external interference from governments, organizations, or individuals. While our executives and staff may hold personal opinions on political or other issues that touch on sustainability, their individual views do not represent the position of CGSL.
The world is already troubled in many ways. At CGSL, we are committed to raising and upholding a standard that places premium value on human beings, their opinions, political preferences, and other choices. This, we will accord to our people and outsiders alike.
We understand the nature of our assignment and how much it can impact our world. We are therefore committed to providing trustworthy, honest, and candid views on any sustainability issue without any untoward hidden motives. If it is not in the best interest of a sustainable future, we will chose a better course!
The vision of a safer and healthier world is what keeps us going. We are desperately passionate to see our work make a significant difference in every part of the world, be it a safe climate, restoration of our biodiversity, an improved living wage for workers, or a complete abolition of modern slavery. Our goal is to see a healthy and prosperous world where no one is left behind.
