How do you translate CSR best practice into personal Sustainability practice? I asked myself this question when we recently looked at appropriate plots in the area for the house we are planning to build over the next year here in Germany. During that planning I want to make sure that we are using sustainable products and building practices as much as possible.
I know an awful lot about corporate CSR / Sustainability best practice but is there anything we could in a way translate into personal Sustainability best practice in our daily lifes? Not only when we talk about sustainable building but Sustainability generally.
What is your view on this? Do you think the corporate and personal Sustainability go hand in hand? What can we learn? Thank you for the feedback. I am looking for all kind of ideas.

You've raised an important point, especially as people in the company tend to expect you to 'lead by example' on issues such as saving energy, etc. I'm trying to drive less and walk more, for example, but I don't think I'll ever be able to take the leap into vegetarianism. Does that mean I'm a worse CSR practitioner than a vegetarian one? Something to think about..

Thanks for the comment. I guess it all depends on your individual circumstances how much you can change. For us it all started with not eating meat anymore, then it was one step after the other.
