Interesting 24h: Breakfast in the City, Top Sustainability Jobs and some Good New Research

The last 24 hours have been very eventful and productive. Within the last 24 hours I had an interesting breakfast meeting in London, some really interesting jobs where posted on the SustainabilityForum.com (three of them are highlighted here) and two interesting pieces of research flew into my inbox. All of this will be in this post.

But let’s start with yesterday.

24h Interesting 24h: Breakfast in the City, Top Sustainability Jobs and some Good New ResearchThe early morning breakfast meeting
I was invited by Edelman UK to this breakfast meeting in London called Crystal Ball 2010. All in all this was an interesting event where i was able to meet a lot of interesting people from different walks of life. More here on my posterous email blog http://fabian.posterous.com

Then over the course the day yesterday there where all in all 6 news interesting jobs posted to the SustainabilityForum.com

Three interesting CSR and Sustainability Jobs
These are three of the interesting jobs of these that where posted:

CSR and Sustainability Research
Then this morning I came across two interesting news items on CSR and Sustainability that I thought would be interesting to share. Here they are:

The interesting aspect from these two news items are that in both of them Centrica (a UK based utilities company) is coming out on top. So what does that tell us? Well either that they are doing really good in terms engaging their stakeholders or they just get in how to present CSR properly.

An interesting 24 hours indeed.

My Top 5 Sustainability News this past week – 08.11.2009

This week has been another busy week for news relating to the Copenhagen conference in December. We can really see the gradual build-up to this event. Because of this overload of “Copenhagen News” I have tried to mix this weeks top 5 with other news of interest.

Online revision of AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard begins: The AccountAbility AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (SES) is being revised and AccountAbility is seeking your input with the wiki-based feedback platform.

Green Consumers Worried About Economy – Poll: A very interesting poll with the main message that people will not care about the environment once this costs to much for them to afford. This is the reality unfortunately.

Annual cost of climate change ‘will be £190bn’: Shocking numbers on how much climate change related costs will damage our economies in the future if we do not get a move on and change something about it.

Top 3 Blog Posts:

51 Great Sites For Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability: A great compilation of interesting Sustainability / CSR websites and people on Twitter in this field.

Recap of the Week and some Sustainability News

This week has been a good week. I was able to connect with many interesting people in the Sustainability and CSR field and all projects have moved forward at a good pace.
But the holiday season is approaching fast here in the UK so I am expecting the next few weeks to be rather quit business-wise. Which is also a good thing. It will give me an opportunity to dive into Social Media even more and see how it can be used to promote Sustainability and CSR even more.

Here are some interesting Sustainability and CSR news items from this week:
