Media coverage of our work goes in waves. It also happens in different parts of the world at different times. We have been poor over the years at capturing the coverage as it happens, because of the sheer volume, though there are several boards in the Volans office where the latest media coverage is displayed. The striking thing is how many languages are featured. And a more up-to-date listing of the articles we do ourselves can be found on the Volans website, here.

Much of the media coverage of our thinking and work has been self-generated, as for example in my first blog for Huffington Post in 2014.

For a sense of the sort of wider media coverage we have had in recent years, here are some filmed interviews that surfaced in our first trawl for this website:

  • Livemint.com, Mumbai, India, 2014
  • India CSR, India, 2013
  • Verantwortung Zukunft, Munich, Germany, 2013
  • Bayer MaterialScience, London, UK, 2013
  • Sky Business News/Centre for Social impact, Australia, 2010
  • Wayne Visser interviews, Athens, Greece, 2010
  • Cambridge University Institute for Sustainability Leadership, interview by Wayne Visser on aspects of our evolving thought leadership:
  • The Economist, London, UK, 2009
  • Harvard Business Publishing, Watertown, MA, USA, 2008
  • Cranfield University School of Management, Doughty Centre for Corporate Responsibility, 2008
  • Valor Econômico, Brazil, 2008

In terms of online interviews and other forms of coverage, here is a small sample:

  • Skoll World Forum ‘Future-proofing Business’ session, Oxford, 2014
  • Interface ‘Cut the Fluff’, 2013
  • Guardian Sustainable Business Awards, tribute to Ray Anderson of Interface, 2012
  • Positive Luxury Q&A, 2012
  • Mother Jones, 2008

This is a section of the website that will be evolved in future.

From the Journal

On Eggardon Hill

2 July 2022

Ever since my Bryanston School days, I have loved hill forts like Hambledon and Hod Hill, where we would often repair back in the day, typically with a flagon or two of local cider. All of which built on a love of castles honed in places like Cyprus in the 1950s. Happily, Dorset and its […]

Hooke Farm, Wonderland

2 July 2022

Just back from a wonderful few days with Julia Hailes and her husband Jamie Macdonald at Hooke Farm, after our time with Bryanston School (30 June entry) and Kingcombe National Nature Reserve (1 July entry). It’s never easy to capture adventures in wonderlands, but here are some images spotlighting some elements of what happened when […]

36 Years To Get To Kingcombe

1 July 2022

Although I have long been a believer in serendipity, it rarely acts as full force as it did today. On the second day of the Bryanston Green Conference, Elaine and I were allowed to duck out and were lucky enough to be gifted a car for the day by Julia (Hailes) and her husband Jamie […]
