On Tuesday 16 March, two members of the GCL team conducted a day-long Social Business Lab (SBL) with Shaklee, manufacturer and distributor of environmentally-friendly nutritional supplements, weight-management products, beauty products, and household products, in Pleasanton, California (near San Francisco).

The aim of the SBL was to learn more about social business, share best practices from examples of existing social businesses, and brainstorm and come up with creative ideas of how Shaklee could get involved in social business.

The workshop was a great success, and GCL's collaboration with them will continue.

GCL is currently arranging to undertake Social Business Labs with many other companies both in Europe and in the USA, as many more people become interested in exploring how they can get involved in the social business movement.
