Business Declares And Then Acre

John Elkington · 22 January 2021 · Leave a Comment

This has been a week of stretched – and stretching – days. Yesterday, for example, began with an early call with Simon Longstaffe of The Ethics Centre in Sydney, a longstanding colleague and friend; then a couple of team meetings; then a webinar on the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill with its original sponsor, Caroline Lucas MP, organised by Business Declares and the CEE Bill Alliance; and then a webinar hosted by the New York office of Acre, the head-hunters who found us Louise three years ago, and moderated by Acre’s Catherine Harris and GreenBiz editorial director Heather Clancy.

Acre founder Andy Cartland fed back earlier today: “We had 486 participants which is staggering, and it was great to see the global spread (If you are interested: Finland, Nigeria, US, India, Canada Ireland Spain, Switzerland, Benelux, Italy, Columbia, Denmark, Bangladesh, Russia, Qatar, Ethiopia, France, Sweden, Guatemala, Portugal, Brazil, Singapore, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Romania, Norway, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Austria).”

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.
