I wanted to reach out as you’ve shown an interest in attending the Responsible Business Summit New York next month [March 18-19] and wondered if you had any questions regarding attendance. We’ve had some excellent developments recently, with Lise Kingo, CEO & Executive Director of the UN Global Compact confirming she’ll be joining our speaker roster. She’ll be joining the likes of the CEOs of Interface, RobecoSAM, TerraCycle, Ceres and EVP of Unilever. It truly is an event that cant be missed, will you be joining us next month?

The content we produce is put together due to speaking to your peers on what their challenges are, we then go out and produce content and events to help you overcome those challenges. What you've downloaded is a big part of The Responsible Business Summit West, taking place in October [9-10] in San Diego. We've got an incredible line up discussing circularity, ESG disclosures, Tech 4 Good and more at #RBSWEST including the Chief Environment Officer of Microsoft and CSOs of FedEx, MetLife, City of San Diego, Mastercard and HPE. It's definitely worth checking out the website - http://bit.ly/2Xm11Jc Hope to see you in the fall, Ed No alt text provided for this image The Responsible Business Summit West events.ethicalcorp.com Peter Burgess sent the following message at 11:03 AM View Peter’s profile Peter Burgess Peter Burgess 11:03 AM I like what Ethical Corporation is doing, but the bottom line is that when it comes to Responsible Business the needle has not moved very much in many years. I was a very young CFO in my 20s some 50 years ago and learned the difference between talk and walk. Today the talk is impressive enabled by social media and conferences, but the walk that is needed to move the needle is still missing. Until we improve the metrics used to inform the media and the talk, the business world and investors will continue to do the same old same old. Change the way you score the game, and you change the way the game is played! Best ... PeterB |
