I have been trying really hard. Really, really hard. You know. To be a treehugger. I think the whole concept of being a treehugger is really cool. You get to have the beard, the nice lean and muscled body, tanned and tough as nails. With my sunglasses and Bermuda shorts. Sandals and a knowing look [...]

Can you remember the first time the two of you got together. The stolen looks, the uncomfortable moments of silence, the tripping over your sentences, the sweaty palms, the he-likes-me-he-likes-me-not thoughts, the private meetings when no one was looking, the uncomfortable first meal together. Yes, I am talking about stakeholder engagement. Just as with any [...]

We can all breathe a sigh of relief - the recession is over! Oops… Actually the recession was over in June 2009 already. So let’s get this party started! But for some reason the public party hasn’t stated yet. The recession is over but the pain remains for the Average Joe in the street. No jobs [...]

Today I’m going to tackle Public Responsibility instead of Corporate Responsibility – the responsiblity of governments and government agencies within the broader sustainability and development debate.

Exxon not paying US federal taxes and kids smashing their new iPad. That made for a sad day of reading. But thank you Intel for saving my day with some real leadership in stakeholder engagement. Exxon Pays NO US tax It took me a while to try and figure out a snappy headline for this one but [...]
