Values
RootSpace is committed to serving as a model for the values and principles it operates by, including social responsibility, inclusivity, effective/efficient/sustainable organizational management, and ethical business practices (such as transparency and accountability).
Furthermore, it strives to set the leading edge – through its own practices – for how these values are practically applied, and to extend these values to other businesses, organizations and the broader community.
RootSpace is the Lebanon country host for Global Entrepreneurship Week (November 17-23, 2008). We are organizing some exciting events for that week, but we want this week to be a broadly collaborative event, showcasing the broad range of organizations, companies, and initiatives promoting entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship in Lebanon. More information coming soon.
More information coming soon regarding the Lebanon Social Venture Competition. If you have any immediate inquiries, please contact us.
