SDGC Industrial Affiliates Program

SDGC's Industrial Affiliates Program allows members to receive special privileges and be recognized as world leaders in corporate responsibility and citizenship.

Our program is an attractive way for corporations to support the center's mission while gaining knowledge about ongoing research. As a member, corporations will have access to a variety of SDGC events, engagement opportunities, and discussions.  These include engagements with researchers affiliated with SDGC.  Prospective SDGC Industrial Affiliates Program members are encouraged to review the Stanford University Policies Affecting Industrial Affiliates Program Memberships.
