Welcome to a glimpse into the remarkable journeys of entrepreneurs— small and growing businesses—working alongside ANDE members across the globe. We proudly showcase their inspiring stories each year at our Global Annual Conference. This growing collection represents just a small fraction of the countless success stories of SGBs who have evolved from simple ideas to thriving enterprises, forging a path toward sustainability with the support of our network.
These stories authentically capture the diverse experiences of our members across various regions and sectors.
