It is a Wednesday evening and the middle of a busy consulting week here in Germany and I finally found the time today to catch up on the latest Sustainability developments of this week.

This will also be the purpose of this post. Was there anything interesting in terms of Sustainability news this week?

Short answer: Not much unfortunately. Companies do not publish anything of interest during January it seems.

So far the headlines are still dominated by Barack Obama and his first actions for tackling Climate Change.

One interesting story might be that Nicolas Stern is opening up his own UK climate research centre. Good news but not really exciting in my opinion.

Another noteworthy news item was that Denmark is launching its own electric car network in the next few years. The company that was awarded the contract will be developing the sophisticated plug-in car infrastructure across Denmark. Lets wait and see but this definitely sounds like a good plan by the Danes again.

But that was really it from this week so far. A typical January week in my opinion.

Have a good rest of the week everyone.

Fabian
