Have a question about the Green4Green network? Check out this list of Frequently Asked Questions to find an answer.

The Green4Green network is a global community of people involved in the environmental field who are looking to find, contact, and communicate with their colleagues from around the world to exchange information; initiate business collaborations and joint ventures; engage in professional and technical discussions and talk about environmental hobbies and interests; look for environment-related services and products; offer employment opportunities; look for employment; and much more.

The Green4Green network gives you access to a global community of people working in all aspects of the environmental field, in every sector, whether government, business, academia, or civil society and NGOs. Whether you are an academic, a technologist, a researcher, involved in an environmental business, a government employee, or working on or interested in any other project or field associated with the environment, the Green4Green network allows you to find, contact, and communicate with the right person for your specific needs.

When you register, you supply information about yourself – your country location; your academic background; the environmental category or field in which you have worked in the past as well as the field in which you currently work; the name of your current place of employment and its sector (government, business, academia, civil society and NGOs); your environmental fields of interest; and any other additional information you want to add. The more information you provide, the better it is since other members of the Green4Green network will really know that you are the expert to approach in the field for which they need information. Once you have registered, you may search through the network for people whom you believe have contacts valuable to you, whether for information, business activities, or any other need. When you find an individual you wish to contact, you simply send them a message using the Green4Green on-site email system. All contact and discussions between site users is through the site's email system, and none of your contact information is ever revealed unless you explicitly do so. All registration and use of the site is free!

You are. At any time during your registration in the Green4Green network you may add, modify, or remove any information you provided when you initially registered. In addition, your registration and contact information is always completely confidential. You choose your own user name so that the only people who know your full identity, or can contact you outside the Green4Green site, are those members whom you have decided to tell, or after you have told them how to contact you outside the site's email system.

The Green4Green network is made up people from all around the world, working in the vast and wide variety of environmental fields, including business, government, academia, and civil society and NGOs. Researchers, law makers, writers and journalists, activists, lawyers, businesspeople, bankers and venture capitalists, technologists, developers, and many other career fields are represented in the Green4Green network. All the members in the network bring their own experience, knowledge, skills, and contacts to the network so they can leverage – and be leveraged by – the other members of the network.

Anyone can join the Green4Green network, but we ask that you please treat this seriously and respect the fact that the people using this site are using it for a serious purpose. To join, all you need to do is follow the simple and quick registration process – that's all there is to it. It's free and easy. The Green4Green network expands through any number of mean. For example, you may receive an invitation from a friend or colleague telling you about the site and recommending that you join it since it may be useful for you. Or you may just be surfing the web and come across the site and realize that it can indeed help you. The key is to pass information about the site to your friends and colleagues. Tell them about the site, recommend that they also register, and then have them pass the information about the site to their friends and colleagues as well. The more people there are in the network, the better it is for everyone!

Nothing! It is free once you have registered. For companies, basic registration is free and then they can pay a low advertising fee to provide additional, more detailed information. Once registered, anyone can use all the search services, communicate with people in the Green4Green network, read and post news, events, and jobs, and read and post messages in the forums - all for free.

This means that Green4Green has just been launched and you will be one of the first public users of the Green4Green service during its fully-operational testing phase. The service is fully functional but it will take a little while to build the critical mass of members and contacts necessary to make all searches successful. During the Beta stage, the initial searches may not be as complete as they ultimately will be but even so, the site still works perfectly and is growing constantly. If you have any problems, just contact us and let us know.

The main reason for already joining Green4Green at the Beta stage is that it already works and you can already start benefiting from the site - sooner rather than later. Green4Green can already help you to find the right contacts you need, and it might mean the difference between winning or losing an opportunity, getting that job, or gaining an advantage over your competitor.

Green4Green can help you find – and be found by – the people and businesses that can help your business develop, grow, and succeed. It doesn't matter whether you are involved in technical research and development, business development, marketing or sales, provide environmentally-oriented services, or engage in any other environmentally-related business activity. Through Greeen4Green, you have immediate, direct, and focused access and exposure to global, regional, and/or country-by-country markets. All payment information is encrypted using licensed, 128 bit technology. Your target market audience is gathered at one location – Green4Green. Can you really afford not to advertise here?
