Comment on The internet: friend 2.0 or foe Y2½K by Robert Coupe

Fantastic article Brandy; and if it weren’t for your stab at my ever decreasing attention span i would never have stuck out the full 2 and a half minutes. A long haul, by Wikipedia’s standards. I can’t help but agree with the vast majority of what you have said and find the shrinking time spent in our most natural communication technique, face to face conversation, a rather depressing notion. But all the same, humans minds have proven more adaptable and versatile than any observer could ever have predicted, so i look forward to the solution as much as i rue the problem.
Thanks for the ride, thanks for the inventiveness of your writing and thanks for the thoughts, i’ll do with them as i wish.
Regards,
Robert

Dear Brandy,
Isn’t this all about ” quality vs quantity”, “Less is more” or alternatively some might argue “bigger, better best”.

I think it is great having access to information, its having the time and ability to manage and sort out the information that is crucial here. Dare I say a lot of the stuff found on the internet are either repetitions of the same info or worse yet fabrications so that for the novice who can’t discriminate, they will be grossly misinformed.

I guess the question here is what one does with the information they obtain from the internet. Do we believe it or not?

Don’t get me wrong, I love the internet, and yes I confess , I am a google geek but after a while, we find websites we trust and keep to the same ones, not unlike people going to the same grocery store or butchers because they are reliable. Yes its a lot of information, but we should be able to choose what we want to know and when we want to stop as easy as a flick of a button when we trun our computers off……………

Comment on Ethical governance and global integrity by Jane Thomason

Jane Thomason — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 02:19:04 +0000

Thank you for your comment. I note your scepticism, but feel that there is a growing global awareness of social responsibility through the UN Global Compact, GRI, ICMM, and mobilisation of private resources to fight poverty such as the Business Coalitions against HIV, TB and Malaria, and the Global Fund to Fight HIV, TB and Malaria. An increasing number of companies have leadership committed to “doing good” as well as “doing well.” I believe that we can all play a part in advocating for the positive contribution that business can make to the MDGs and in contributing to the communities within which they operate.

Self regulation is a fantastic notion but implication of such integrity and awareness initiatives are only a drop in the ocean which always outweight by the interest of the organisation. I believe corporate social responsibility is crucial and important and fair share must be put back into commities that they are benifiting from but much of the time this has been a pure exercise of good public relation. Good luck Jane !

Comment on Results from the national business sustainability study by Emily

Emily — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 12:37:32 +0000

What really strikes me is that employees say they are looking for leadership and leaders are saying they’d like to be more active in reporting so I think there will be a tipping point where there’s a complete culture shift and sustainability reporting will become as routine as other regular business activities
