PartnershipsThe power of collaboration between business and non business partners
increase the overall positive impact in society
It is becoming common practice for companies to engage with multiple non-business partners and with multiple sectors in the same partnership
In many cases partners include various companies within the same supply chain and even competitors that have come to gether
Some examples include companies generating local platforms where a variety of businesses and other partners can share their ideas and exchange experience
The size and composition of partnerships illustrates that companies are
engaging in more inclusive forms of collaboration
The vast majority of cases involve long-term partnerships, which show a clear evolution in the relationship after an initial successful cooperation
