Mission: BB raises consciousness of self-interest to institutionalize sustainability.
Brooklyn Bridge is a knowledge broker, specializing in Triple Bottom Line (TBL) or Corporate Social Responsibility. We make connections for companies who want to make the transition from the old to the new, TBL economy. Mutual and global benefit must be the basis for partnership.
