Eco-Business Launches the EB Circle

Singapore, Singapore, December 11, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Eco-Business, Asia Pacific’s leading media organisation dedicated to reporting on sustainable development, has today unveiled a new membership programme for its growing community.

The EB Circle is a new dedicated network in which readers who sign up for just S$60 a year will gain priority invites to its events, access to an inner circle of professionals committed to sustainability on the Slack platform, media training opportunities and more.

Since Eco-Business was founded in 2009, it has been committed to providing a platform for the region to discuss sustainability issues, and to shed light on matters that are under-reported in the mainstream media.

Whether it is holding companies to account, making sense of government policy, or showcasing inspiring examples of how businesses and individuals are solving the challenges of our time, Eco-Business’s model is one of purposeful journalism that receives support from governments and businesses across the world.

But even as Eco-Business continues to grow, the media industry confronts various challenges from the rise of fake news to declining advertising budgets. The EB Circle is a response to this and a call to its readers to support its mission and help keep its content free for all.

Managing editor Jessica Cheam said of the new initiative, “These are exciting times for Eco-Business and our community. With the launch of The EB Circle, we hope to be able to invest more into investigative journalism and also help our readers do better work, make meaningful connections and feel like they are part of a large family who’s helping to shape a better world.”

Features of the new membership initiative include:
· Priority access to all EB events in the region
· Exclusive invitation to join The EB Circle on Slack
· Media training from EB staff and network of experts in its 2018 series of events
· Invitations to networking opportunities with business and government leaders across Asia

Serving up new content & WhatsApp hotline
Eco-Business is excited to announce that it has launched a new content offering - The Eco-Business podcast. This features a series of conversations with public sector leaders, industry captains, financiers, academic experts and civil society change-makers on sustainability.

The inaugural podcast series is titled "Let's Write the Future" and presented in partnership with Swiss power and automation giant ABB. It is published on SoundCloud and iTunes.

As a commitment to reporting on sustainable development, Eco-Business has also launched a new WhatsApp number so its readers can more easily and directly share their perspectives, experiences, also send the editorial team any tip-offs or story ideas.

Readers can add Eco-Business on WhatsApp as a contact using this number: +65 8362 2856.

Later this month, Eco-Business will be publishing a new investigative special report looking at the footprint of e-commerce in Asia. This is part of its series of special reports looking at specific issues with huge impact on the region, which The EB Circle will help to fund.
