CGI 2024 Annual Meeting
Greenhouse: Supporting the Social Enterprise Ecosystem
The social enterprise business model is rapidly gaining traction on a global scale. Today, social enterprises make up approximately 3 percent of businesses worldwide, generating over $2 trillion in annual revenue and creating more than 200 million jobs. There is immense economic potential to be realized when governments, corporations, and philanthropic organizations partner with social enterprises that put people and the planet first. From businesses that scale solutions to make health care more equitable to initiatives that improve education access for underserved populations, there is great opportunity to collaborate with social enterprises to collectively advance impact goals and catalyze transformative societal change. This session will bring together impact entrepreneurs as well as public and private sector intrapreneurs to explore collaborative partnerships, funding opportunities, and comprehensive solutions that enable social enterprises, especially those founded by traditionally marginalized entrepreneurs, to scale and thrive. Participants Ragina Arrington, CEO, Clinton Foundation: CGI University David Heath, Co-Founder and CEO, Bombas Gilbert Houngbo, Director General, International Labour Organization Aurora James, Founder, Brother Vellies; 15 Percent Pledge Shelia Johnson, Founder and CEO, Salamander Collection Raj Kumar, President and Editor-in-Chief, Devex Monique Nsanzabaganwa, Deputy Chairperson, African Union Commission Alexandra van der Ploeg, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, SAP

A tree is not just a single living entity, but supports a miniature ecosystem. On this one tree alone, numerous other plants and animals have made their homes. You can see ferns and creepers, which in turn support birds and insects.
That's why trees are so precious: they form the basis for so many other creature's habitats. Cutting down a tree means destroying hundreds of other living things.

This wood consists of deciduous trees , the bamboo grass, and perennial coverings after the local Musashino landscape.

they depend on protozoans (single-celled organisms) which live inside their stomachs and digest the cellulose of the plant cell walls for them)

These two pictures are related because they are both in terrestrial ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems the light is very prominent. Aquatic ecosystems differ in that the light does not travel into the deep water.
