How Work Will Evolve in a Digital Post-Pandemic Society

How Work Will Evolve in a Digital Post-Pandemic Society

By Dion Hinchcliffe on April 15, 2020

The current outbreak of COVID-19 is stress testing our institutions, infrastructure, governments, and societies more than any event in most of our lifetimes. We have to go all the way back to the two World Wars to find similar precedents. Yet, as our businesses and personal lives are profoundly impacted, some of us can also […]

With Peter’s permission, I recorded the demo for publication on YouTube. The video above is the result and the transcription is below. Some highlights Peter mentioned include: Sustainability reporting has […]

Friday Green Numbers round-up 07/30/2010

By Tom Raftery on July 30, 2010

Photo credit Lauren Manning And here are this week’s Green Numbers: GE: Good citizen, but where’s the payoff? Inside GE, Ecomagination is deemed a success, so much so that it has spawned a sister initiative (if you can spawn a sister) called Healthymagination, focused on profitably creating better health for more people. GE says that […]

Symantec’s Sustainability Story: It’s The Power Consumption, Stupid.

Symantec’s Sustainability Story: It’s The Power Consumption, Stupid.

By Tom Raftery on July 23, 2010

I was lucky enough recently to meet Jose Iglesias, the guy spearheading Symantec’s sustainability efforts. I wrote the interview up over on Monkchips, but much of the content belongs here too. I like Symantec’s clear focus on energy. While others are broadening their sustainability story, Symantec is doubling down on managing energy more effectively, with […]

Six Ways To Make CSR Reporting and Strategy Not Suck

Six Ways To Make CSR Reporting and Strategy Not Suck

By James Governor on July 15, 2010

I wrote a post yesterday that was long enough some of you might not have gotten to the end of it. But my friend Mark Charmer from Akvo did read it, and called out the salient points. Call it link-baiting, but it strikes me I should take a leaf out of his book. So using […]

Sustainability and CSR Reporting: There’s An App For That. A Letter to SAP and the future.

Sustainability and CSR Reporting: There’s An App For That. A Letter to SAP and the future.

By James Governor on July 14, 2010

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it” – Alan Kay Back in 2007 or so I had an epiphany about corporate social responsibility and sustainability. Until then I had been skeptical about CSR – which I felt was the proverbial lipstick on the pig. The guy that did most to persuade […]

Sustainability reporting in tech companies – the hardware vs software divide

Sustainability reporting in tech companies – the hardware vs software divide

By Tom Raftery on July 6, 2010

I wrote (and subsequently updated) a post a few weeks ago reviewing the Sustainability Reports of various companies in the technology space. I updated the review again this afternoon (see the updated review below) with the 2009 reports from IBM, Adobe and SAS. Something which struck me previously, and which hasn’t changed […]

Adobe seems to have no commitment whatsoever to Sustainability

Adobe seems to have no commitment whatsoever to Sustainability

By Tom Raftery on July 5, 2010

I was extremely lucky to be given a tour of Adobe’s triple platinum LEED certified HQ in Palo Alto last year. I video’d highlights of the tour and posted them here. At the time I was extremely impressed with Adobe’s sustainability initiatives. However, since then I have been more and more convinced […]

Global telco’s sustainability reports reviewed

Global telco’s sustainability reports reviewed

By Tom Raftery on June 11, 2010

When I published my review of tech company sustainability reports a couple of weeks back, it was suggested that I should add in telco’s as well. Instead, for clarity, I decided to publish a separate review of telco sustainability reports here.
