The social responsibility of business

Re-thinking corporate social responsibility: Andy Le Seelluer
Andy was recently awarded an MBE for his charity work, yet he has some unusual and controversial views on Corporate Social Responsibility.
Comments: "He's highly critical of corporate social responsibility. But it is not doctrinal, it's based on his experiences in fund raising with businesses. His viewpoint is critical but useful. I enjoyed it. It's always better to hear from someone who has worked trying to help businesses be responsible to their larger public than a theoritician."

Sustainability: Are We The Monsters?: John Robinson at TEDxStanleyPark
John Robinson is the Associate Provost, Sustainability at the University of British Columbia, and a professor with UBC's Institute for Resources, Environment & Sustainability and Department of Geography. John will be speaking about regenerative sustainability and the unique potential for universities to become living laboratories of sustainability — by engaging students, staff and faculty in testing and evaluating sustainable behaviours, policies and programs at an urban neighbourhood scale, in partnership with the public, private and NGO sector. He believes that a regenerative sustainability future that is net positive in both human and environmental terms is possible, and much more desirable than the alternative. His greatest hope is that soon we collectively recognize that this is so.
