It's been a while since last time I came here. I am now working in London in the CSR department of a French bank.
I am currently trying to set up an organic vegetable garden for staff there, however I am struggling to find a company able to help us designing the garden and helping us to start the scheme off. Do any of you happen to know a company or charity which would be able to help?

Another random question: are any of you attending London green drinks events? I would like to join, but I can't this month as I am organising a fundraising event that day.

Thank you!

www.wsmconference.com Hoping our conference will appeal to all, though Im still trying to work out if DC is the right audience for us. Its an incredible event, amazing speakers. Please take a loo www.wsmconference.com and would welcome your feedback if it is or isnt right for you to attend. Many thanks
Matt.

I'll keep my eyes and ears open.

Check out Acre Resources for CSR recruitment - appear to be quite good.

If you want to try promoting your search via Twitter I'll happily RT for you. Just need to summarise to 140 characters! Let me know if you do :)

Thank you David! Help would be warmly welcome and appreciated :)

I have just finished my Masters Degree in International Management & Sustainable Business. I am looking for a job linked to CSR, sustainable development, renewable energies etc. My professional profile is available here: http://www.linkedin.com/in/paulinegiroux

I have applied to many jobs, but I think that I have troubles finding one because most companies think that it is too complicated to hire someone who does not currently live in the UK, even though I am ready to relocate as soon as I have a job offer. I am tempted to relocate first and then look for a job, but it is quite risky.

Anyway, I love your country, despite the grey and gloomy weather! ;)

Hi Pauline. The Leicester link is more than good enough to earn your place here!

Good luck with the job hunting. What type of role are you looking for? Maybe somebody could help?

Hi! I'm not British and I currently live in France, but I've lived in Leicester for a while. I'm currently looking for a job there, so hopefully I'll move back to the UK soon!

Youth for Fair Trade Comment by Youth for Fair Trade on September 17, 2009 at 7:07am

Hi All.
Sorry if you've seen this already on the Twitterers' discussion. We are running a Youth Conference (18-25) on Fair Trade in Coventry from 30Oct-1Nov. Exciting line up of speakers, workshops, and of course Fairtrade Chocolate!

Trying to get the word out there to groups, Unis, student societies etc. Can you help? http://tr.im/y4ft2009

Thanks!

Hi Greg. Thanks for sharing the link to you site. It looks very interesting. One of the issues in India where most of the poor have limited land is that when they grow cash crops (including bio fuels) they compromise their own food security. I am ta…
