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.
The 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:
- EcoVadis looking for Senior CSR Analyst (Paris)

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:
- New research that assesses how utility companies are currently meeting the challenge to deliver affordable energy to consumers while also responding to significant environmental and social concerns. More information can be found here: http://www.tomorrowsvaluerating.com
- This is the second interesting news item from today: Centrica, owner of British Gas, has come out top in an audit of a CSR communications of the FTSE 100′s 30 largest firms by Italian consultancy Lundquist. http://www.prweek.com/uk/news/971251/Centrica-website-named-best-UK-CSR-comms
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.

Everyone is talking about the economic crisis and the difficult times in the job market. But there are still a lot of interesting jobs in the Sustainability field out there as far as I can see. I am scouting some of the most interesting jobs sites every week and indeed, I am seeing a change in the job market. But the change I see is not in the number of available vacancies but really only in the way jobs are named, i.e. the job titles. A lot more of the jobs now include the Environmental and Sustainability titles. Not as many jobs now include the job titles of „CSR“ and „Ethical“ as far as I can see. This is a very interesting development in my opinion and I will see whether this is turning out the be a continuing trend over the course of the next few months.
I have just compiled a top 5 of the most interesting jobs posted on SustainabilityForum.com,the online forum I run if you are interested in finding a job in the Sustainability/Environment field.
