Earth3000´s key achievement has been its role as a founding partner of GEXSI - The Global Exchange for Social Investment. Earth3000, often jointly with The Global Exchange for Social Investment, contributes to the global debate on sustainable development.






Earth3000 supports the Global Marshall Plan






From May 2002 to June 2004, Earth3000 - with the generous support of Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt - engaged in a major project with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre to identify and help implement innovative support mechanisms with Civil Society for the sustainable safeguard of Earth’s most treasured cultural and natural heritage.

In preparation of the private sector segment at the UNESCO World Heritage Congress in Venice in November 2002, Earth3000 authored a Strategy Paper (PDF) laying out the challenges in World Heritage conservation and possible responses through private-public partnership action. At the Workshop Towards Innovative Partnerships for World Heritage executed by Earth3000, experts from all over the world elaborated a Master Plan (PDF) for concrete long-term support mechanisms.

Based on the 2002 Venice Recommendations, and as part of the newly established UNESCO Partners in Conservation PACT, Earth3000 has since engaged in numerous activities with the private sector, media, and academia, to promote mutually beneficial public-private partnerships in World Heritage Conservation.

Earth3000 initiated FairCraft

Poor people, especially poor women, produce some of the World's finest arts & crafts. Far away from the markets of the rich, their earnings remain exceedingly low.

With their huge clientele, airports are so far completely underutilized and inaccessible for marketing products that can benefit the poor. Under the FairCraft project, Earth3000 seeks business partners in the airport boutique business. The objective is to establish non-profit, high end arts & crafts sales at some of the world's major airports. We seek finance for separate outlets and/or outlet points within existing stores.

Proceeds will benefit the producers at the source, creating additional employment and higher incomes especially for women. To make the project succeed, Earth3000 seeks support and cooperation, and invites inquiries in this regard.

We seek support and cooperation for the establishment of points of sale, from - social investors - airport management companies - airport boutique operators - airlines We seek support and cooperation in the establishment of a dependable, high quality network of arts & crafts producers, by interested - NGOs - aid organizations - businesses and trade intermediaries committed to   Corporate Social Responsibility
