What makes IBIS unique?

• Individualized and Customized
  You can determine your level of active involvement a la carte and actively engage in coaching and consulting (both on location and office-based) if you want to.
• Optimizing expertise, experience and networks
  As professional, you are encouraged to optimize and share your expertise, experience and network in the projects you sponsor and IBIS will facilitate the sharing through webbased technology, project blogs and social media.
• Economic development based
  Contrary to many other fundraising initiatives, IBIS projects are economic development based, but always focused on sustainable development.
• CSR compliant
  Corporations are encouraged to optimize and share their expertise, experience and network in the projects they sponsor as part of their CSR policy. On the basis of sustainability criteria applied, all IBIS projects are fit to be earmarked as a CSR project.
