GEMI currently has three types of activities: Work Groups, Networks and Committees.

Networks conduct ongoing discussions on member-driven topics, and may serve as prelude or postscript to a Work Group.
Work Groups develop focused tools (from concept to finished product) with designated resources
GEMI has identified three signature issues that it will be focusing
its activities on for the next couple of years. GEMI is still in the
discussion phase as to how best to address these issues to meet the
needs of its members and the organization as a whole. The issues are:
Climate Change and Energy; Supply Chain; and Water Sustainability.

 GEMI Committees work on procedural, administrative or strategic issues as directed by the Board
