One of a growing number of groups to use prizes to induce “crowd-sourced” solutions to global problems, “the Rio Tinto Alcan Prize is open to all not-for-profit, non-governmental, and civil society organizations based anywhere in the world that are working to advance the goals of economic, environmental, and social sustainability.” Previous winners include Barefoot College, Aga Khan Planning and Building Services Pakistan, and others. Entries are due by Midnight, September 12th.
Also from CSRWire.com: OpenSRI.com has just launched as the “first collaborative web platform for socially responsible investments.” It also includes collaborative discussion around corporate social responsibility standards.
