Earth Day Reflections: “Getting Big Stuff Done” on our CSR Journey

April 22, 2016 por Leave a Comment

This year’s Earth Day tagline grabbed my attention: “Let’s get really big stuff done for our planet.” It got me thinking how much the movement has grown over the last decade and how every person and every institution, however small, can play its role in something so big as saving the world! Over the past decade we have witnessed a strong tendency in developed countries, and … [Read more...] about Earth Day Reflections: “Getting Big Stuff Done” on our CSR Journey

Why ‘Laudato Si’ Should be on the Reading List of Every CEO

August 31, 2015 por Leave a Comment

Upon reading the much anticipated Papal Encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si', I found myself immediately looking for ways to get it into the hands of the CEOs I know. While it is a genuinely great read, it is even better as a resource for institutionalizing ethical business principles, and a brilliant illustration of what servant leadership looks like. There will be … [Read more...] about Why ‘Laudato Si’ Should be on the Reading List of Every CEO
