Conversations for Responsible Economic Development (CRED) is a not-for-profit business research and advocacy organization based in Vancouver, B.C. We are an association of academics, professionals and BC business leaders interested in a fact-based conversation around energy development and opportunities for long-term prosperity on BC’s West Coast.

CRED is fiercely pro-business and pro-economic development. Our focus is on sharing facts and original research – backed up by reliable data – on BC economic issues, speaking to the need to protect our regional economy from threats, and promoting and advocating for economic sectors that leverage BC’s creativity, innovation and natural beauty.

We invite everyone to participate in the conversation.
