   1. VBSR makes an effort to post "values-led" news made by members.
      1. If you've hired a new Sustainability Director, that's a fit – a new Sales Manager is not.
      2. Opened a new distribution center? If it has a solar panel roof we want to hear about it.
      3. Essentially, if your organization accomplished something recently that is part of creating a just, thriving, and transformative economy that works for all people and the planet, let us know!
