Top 100 Thought Leaders in Trustworthy Business Behavior across Europe and the Middle East

The current financial and social crises afflicting Europe and the Middle East have raised the level of mistrust towards companies, governments and society.

But amidst this turmoil, there are outstanding individuals who are actively working to bring about positive change.

The Centre for Sustainability & Excellence (CSE) is proud to announce a partnership with Trust Across America™, a US based program dedicated to unraveling the complexities of trustworthy business behavior, to name the Top Thought Leaders in Europe and the Middle East. The program models the US based list created earlier this year by Trust Across America.

Trust is an inherent element of optimism that buoys any economy and society. The list of Top 100 Though Leaders in Europe and the Middle East recognizes organizations and individuals representing the private sector, academia and non-profit entities who are making outstanding contributions in championing business, social and environmental change in a transparent and justifiable way.

By identifying and showcasing the most trustworthy individuals and organizations, learning from them through benchmarking and creating opportunities to emulate best practices, CSE and Trust Across America™ hope to contribute to that sense of optimism.

CSE would like to engage with you and pose the question of “Who do you think is a Thought Leader and Why?” CSE encourages your participation and will consider and assess all nominations.

The Top 100 Thought Leaders in Trustworthy Business Behavior across Europe and the Middle East will be published on June 15, 2011.

You may submit your nomination(s) to Irene Daskalakis, Development Manager, CSE, sd3@cse-net.org  or Barbara Kimmel, Executive Director, Trust Across America, barbara@trustacrossamerica.com
