Complimentary Webinar: Secrets Of Success For Sustainability Consulting at London

January 31, 2013 from 4pm to 5pm
The first sustainability consultants emerged over 15 years ago. Since then a wide range of management consulting firms, accounting firms and multi-disciplinary engineering firms have launched practice groups that offer advice on a smorgasbord of sustainability business issues. But what is the size and shape of this amorphous market? What strategies have proved successful and which ones have failed? How do consultancies need to organize themselves to win mandates in this sector now and in the…See More

Exxon Facing Shareholder Revolt

An interesting article in the Guardian this week discusses the current shareholder "revolt" at Exxon over its approach to climate change. The article, by Andrew Clark, is found below:



"A shareholder revolt at ExxonMobil led by the billionaire Rockefeller family has won the support of four significant British institutional investors who will call on Monday for a shakeup in the governance of the world's biggest… Continue

Pepsi Cuts Plastic Used in Bottles

In an effort to appeal to consumers concerned about environmental waste and global warming, Pepsi announced this week that it is reducing the amount of plastic it uses in bottles of some nonsoda drinks. For instance, the company is slimming its half-liter Aquafina water bottle to 13.2 grams from 15 grams. While initiatives like this are a positive move, I think Gigi Kellett says it well in the WSJ article, saying: "Less plastic doesn't increase the rate of recycling...and it does not reduce the… Continue

Brad, thanks for your comment to my blog. And to answer your question, Do you think this Socially-Strategic Enterprise movement as you called it is being driven by the "31 flavors of catastrophe," and the fear it has placed in some of us? Or has the trend to act more responsibly always been there but is finally reaching critical mass?, I think it's a little of both. Throughout history there have always been those extraordinary individuals who have done extraordinary things, regardless of the popularity or recognition. At the same time, sadly it seems so many of us are not inspired to act until something drastic happens that forces us to look at our lives and the world in a new way. I know in my own life, for instance, that I've always been conscious about my own decisions and responsibilities to the world, but 9/11 still had such a profound impact on me that I was inspired to do more both in my own life and on a larger scale. I also think the trend has taken hold because of the advances in communication. Through the media and internet, for example, we as consumers, employees, citizens, etc. are more aware of what is going on around us and thus can hold leaders more accountable. This certainly is a trend whose time has come, and I am glad to be a part of it.
