The [Net Positive Project](http://www.netpositiveproject.org/), a coalition of companies that aim to go beyond reducing their negative sustainability impacts to contribute in a “net positive” way to society, the environment and the global economy, launched yesterday.

“With the recent adoption of the [UN Sustainable Development Goals](http://www.environmentalleader.com/2015/12/23/sustainable-development-goals-why-business-should-care/) and the ratification of the [Paris agreement on climate change](http://www.environmentalleader.com/2016/04/21/why-google-ikea-say-the-paris-effect-is-boosting-business/), the need for net positive approaches is more urgent than ever,” said BSR senior vice president Eric Olson in a statement announcing the project. “Business has a clear mandate to create sustainable technologies, products, and services that can help the world meet these goals.”

Founding company members are: Advanced Micro Devices, AT&T, Capgemini UK, The Crown Estate, Dell, Dow Chemical, Eaton, Fetzer Vineyards, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, Humanscale, Kimberly-Clark, Kingfisher, Kohler and Owens Corning.
