Casper ter Kuile and Harvard visit

John Elkington · 27 May 2013 · Leave a Comment

And then off to GRI in Amsterdam

Casper ter Kuile and his Harvard group at 2 Bloomsbury Place Casper ter Kuile (in blue sweater) and his Harvard group at 2 Bloomsbury Place

Great session on 21 May with Casper ter Kuile, plus a group of his Harvard colleagues, followed almost immediately by a visit from Wendy Arenas Wightman, from Colombia. Then off to Amsterdam for the Global Reporting Initiative summit on 22-23 May, where I took part in a panel moderated by Jo Confino and otherwise including Pavan Sukhdev of TEEB, Sylvie Lemet of UNEP and Jochen Zeitz of The B Team. Great couple of days, including a dinner in a zoo (or rather an aquarium), and got to see and catch up with scores of friends and acquaintances, which was wonderfully energising.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
