Recommendations Given (2) Ralph Thurm Ralph Thurm Director Sustainability Strategies and Innovation Ralph is among those at the cutting-edge of sustainability management, who fully understand the importance of measuring, managing and reporting organizational performance in terms of social and ecological thresholds in the world (i.e., instead of ignoring them). His associated grasp of 'sustainability context' as a core principle in sustainability management places him at the forefront of the field. He is every bit a thought leader in this regard, with the capacity to facilitate real progress in the sustainability performance of both organizations and commerce in general. Ralph is a valued colleague of mine whose opinions on this subject I deeply respect. December 18, 2012, Mark worked directly with Ralph at Deloitte Chelsea Davidoff Chelsea Davidoff Analyst: Sustainability Research and Development Chelsea worked closely with me in the implementation of a sustainability performance measurement system at a corporate client of mine, and was responsible for helping us to construct and deploy specific metrics across a wide range of impact areas. In all cases, her work was of a very high quality. She has my highest recommendation and would be an asset to any organization lucky enough to have her.
