BSR implements a wide variety of grant-funded programs with considerable support from both private foundations and bilateral as well as multilateral agencies. We work with funders such as the ILO, the World Bank, the US State Department, MacArthur Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the David & Lucile Packard Foundation, and the Swedish and U.K. governments. Our grant-funded initiatives are global in scope and serve an important role in BSR’s efforts to promote business sustainability.

Most of our development projects seek to harness the organizational, operational, technological and financial powers of the private sector in the pursuit of more environmentally and socially sustainable development, in several cases aligning with the Millennium Development Goals. Our current and future grants focus on opportunities to promote awareness and action on a wide range of issues, including: women’s health, labor rights, labor migration, environmental health, and energy efficiency. As such, it is critical that the Coordinator thrives working in a consultancy environment that connects the private sector with the sustainability and development agendas.
