People on Twitter that also attend the GRI conference next week

May 21, 20102:43 pm

5 Comments

I am attending the Global Reporting (GRI) conference next week. While doing some preparation for the session I will be moderating at the conference I wondered who is going to the conference that is also on Twitter and/or a reader of my blog. I had no clue.
The purpose of today’s post is to feature a list of people that I know are going to the conference. I believe that this list will be very helpful to some of you in order to connect while being at the conference.
But here is the important bit:  I rely on you to tell me other people that are going to be in Amsterdam next week. So please either comment or send me a message through the About page template. This list will be edited by me as we approach the conference and during the time of the conference.
Here is the list of people I know that are on Twitter  and will also be at the GRI conference:

GRI People on Twitter that also attend the GRI conference next week

Please let me know whether there is anyone you know on Twitter that is going as well. I will then add this person or organisation and update this list continuously.

The two previous posts in this series can be found here:
Today I would like to point you to five other great people to I am following on Twitter. All of them share great content and have a valued opinion within the Twitter Sustainability and CSR community. If you want to join the conversation on Sustainability and CSR on Twitter then I would recommend to follow these people and all the others in my previous posts.

People on Twitter you need to follow:
  • Tom Raftery: Tom is one of the most knowledgeable people I know on Twitter about renewable energy and energy in general. A must follow in my opinion.

  • Brigitte Goddemeyer aka subrigavar: Brigitte is the best Retweeter I know on Twitter. What is Retweeting?

Thank you Brigitte for being a great source of information on Twitter and helping to promote Sustainability and CSR with your work.
Please also feel free to suggest more people tweeting about Sustainability and CSR.

I have already written one post similar to this, where I wrote about 5 more great people in the Sustainability and CSR field I am following. I will therefore exclude James Farrar, Mallen Baker, David Connor, Chris Jarvis and Elaine Cohen from the following list as you need to follow them in any case. This is the link to the post: 5 Sustainability and CSR people to follow on Twitter

My Twitter Lists on Sustainability and CSR

Some of might have heard and seen that Twitter recently introduced a new feature with the so called “Lists”.

Here is the link to the Twitter blog including the list announcement with more information.  In short: These lists enable everyone to organize their followers and whom they are following in a much better way.

I have spend some time over the last weekend to set up my lists.

twitter My Twitter Lists on Sustainability and CSRThese are my lists I have set up:

Sustainability and CSR People on Twitter
http://twitter.com/FabianPattberg/sustainability-csr-people
The biggest benefit of Twitter for me is that I am able to connect with likeminded people from across the world and share ideas, opinions and information. But because I already have over three thousand followers it is time consuming to always keep an overview on who is doing what. This list makes this a lot easier.

Sustainability Content
http://twitter.com/FabianPattberg/sustainability-content
The second most important benefit of being on Twitter for me is finding very interesting content and information on Sustainability and CSR I would not otherwise come across. This is the purpose of that list.

Organizations and Websites
http://twitter.com/list/FabianPattberg/organizations-websites
There are a lot of organizations and Websites with Twitter profiles. This list will be used to keep track of the ones I find of interest. Mostly on Sustainability and CSR topics.

Various Tweeps
http://twitter.com/FabianPattberg/various-tweeps
This is a list of people that I am not able to put into definite categories but still like to keep an eye on.

These are my current lists.

What lists do you have set up so far? Please feel free to share them with everyone here.

My Sustainability Communication Triangle

This post is intended to provide you with some background on how I work in my business. In my business I am focusing on three communication places to build my business network, stay in touch with friends and to gather and share information. This is what I call my Sustainability Communication Triangle.

My Sustainability Communication Triangle

business triangle My Sustainability Communication Triangle

Twitter
My Twitter user account (twitter.com/FabianPattberg) is important to me because it is a very simple but effective tool to share and gather interesting information on sustainability topics. It will also enable you or your organization to connect to a large audience of likeminded people from across the globe interested in sustainability topics. This is the key tool for information for me at the moment.

FabianPattberg.com
This is my blog (Where you are currently reading this post). I use this blog to share my thoughts, expertise and some interesting news and information on Sustainability topics. It is important to me that my posts are helpful and interesting to read. Another purpose of the website is to provide interesting resources on Sustainability / CSR topics and for everyone to have a first impression of who I am, what I am doing and how I work.

SustainabilityForum.com
The SustainabilityForum.com is the place where the current 3500+ members are sharing information on a wide range of sustainability topics. We have a place for discussion, Sustainability news, blogs and the events. I am personally using this website to build a global community and information resource for Sustainability professionals and all people interested in Sustainability. This is the website I started out with and I will continue to expand the range of information presented on the website.

All three Websites Serve a Clear Purpose
It is also important to state that all three places are equally important to me. All serve a specific and clear purpose that in the end reinforce each other so that I can be sure to know what is happening in the Sustainability world and that I am providing the relevant and important information for all that are interested in Sustainability.

Getting to your sustainability business triangle
So how do you get to your business triangle? This is a crucial aspect to your productivity on the net and it very much depends where your individual focus in the sustainability field lies. I am using this triangle approach but you will be focusing on different ways of connecting to people, your business and anyone else really.

For you it might be just one network or as many as ten networks. It all depends on how you are able to be present in these networks to participate and make a contribution.

Just ask yourself this simple question: “What networks are important to me?” The answer should come very natural to you. Then you will know what you need to focus on and where to put your effort into 100%.

So let me know whether you have a „business triangle“ as well or whether this is something new to you? All feedback is as always very welcome.

People I follow on Twitter – Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

I have been using Twitter for the past year and see Twitter as a great tool to extend the private and business networks.
The problem I had with Twitter from the beginning was whom to follow on the topics that I am interested in.
This is the first post in a new Twitter series I am writing where I will be listing the usernames of some people I follow on topics such as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), CSR/Sustainability News, Social Media, and more. The post today will be about the Twitterers (people that are on Twitter) that tweet (expression for the individual Twitter updates) about CSR.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Twitterers

  • James Farrar – A great blogger and invaluable source of CSR and technology insights People I follow on Twitter – Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
  • Mallen Baker – Mallen provides top quality information and insightful commentary on all CSR topics
  • David Connor – A never ending source of CSR information
  • Chris Jarvis – Great insights and excellent blogger on CSR
  • Elaine Cohen – Great information source on CSR Reporting topics

There are a lot more people that are providing excellent information on CSR on Twitter even though they are not listed here. This is just snapshot of the people I follow on the topic of CSR.

twitter search People I follow on Twitter – Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)Search for CSR on Twitter

Another great way to get started connecting to like-minded CSR people on Twitter is to do a Twitter search with ‘CSR’ as the keyword or any other keyword you are looking for. Here is the direct link to the Twitter search for CSR:
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=csr

This way you will never miss a tweet on the keyword you are looking for.

I am obviously also on Twitter and tweet about CSR topics. So why not visit and let me know what you think. Fabian on Twitter

Happy networking everyone!

The New Age of Sustainability Conferences?

conference The New Age of Sustainability Conferences?The conference „The Responsible Business Summit“ is currently happening in London (Today and tomorrow).

Why is that of interest?

Well because a lot of people from all across the globe have a chance to meet up, network, do/participate in workshops and give/listen to interesting speeches. All in all very useful. But the problem with this is that the admission fees are very high and for people without a large corporate background (like most people) not affordable.

The new development in my opinion is that non participants of the conference (such as myself) now can get a good insight of what is going on by following updates of conference participants via Twitter.

Here are two people and the events organizer that are well worth following to get interesting updates from this conference today and tomorrow:

This is the new age of Sustainability conferences and technology and social media can help bring Sustainability to the next level by bringing more and more people together. This is a good sign.
