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 greater role 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.
