Partnership criteria

FIBS aims for transparency and fairness in the partner selection process.

The selection criteria are:

Familiarity with the theme and relevant solutions
Previous experience and facilitation skills
Commitment
Added value of the partnership for members
Willingness to grow and drive development

Before the final selection, FIBS will assess the alignment of interests with each partner candidate.

Familiarity with the theme

An organisation can be selected as a theme-specific partner only if it has already demonstrated strong expertise in the respective theme within a business context. In addition to subject-matter knowledge, we expect expertise related to the challenges companies face, as well as their solutions, tools, and best practices. Our members are particularly interested in concrete cases presented by company representatives themselves — and we hope that such examples can be found within your networks.

Describe your familiarity with the theme here.

Previous experience and facilitation skills

Partner's previous experience and references in implementing similar theme groups, trainings, or other services for corporate clients, as well as feedback received from them.

Describe your previous experience and facilitation skills here.

Commitment

Partner's ability to commit to the agreement for its entire duration and to deliver the jointly agreed services even in situations such as illness or other unexpected obstacles. Provide details here about the individuals in your organization involved in implementing the partnership, including how many people, their expertise related to the theme, and what their role in the collaboration would be. Explain how you would allocate time for implementing the partnership and ensure that the partnership remains an important collaborative project for your entire company even during busy periods.

Describe your commitment here.

Added value for members

The added value provided to FIBS members related to the partnership theme compared to FIBS producing the services independently. For instance, partner's contacts and collaborative relationships with potential experts or organizations knowledgeable about the theme, which could be utilized in the implementation of the Partner Program.

Describe how our collaboration would add value for FIBS members.

Willingness to grow and drive development

FIBS aims to accelerate sustainability practitioners toward a more sustainable world — with even greater impact. Our mission is not only to provide up-to-date knowledge, but to deliver it in ways that inspire, engage, and lead to concrete change.

Describe your willingness to grow and drive development.
