Sustainability Learning Circle #2

This week, the theme of our sustainability learning circle was: “Do companies lead the global agenda?” The discussion was quite interesting! Some highlights:

- Companies definitely influence a lot the global decisions, for good (e.g. engaging SMEs and individual entrepreneurs in their distribution chain) and for bad (e.g. fighting for less health regulations or even stimulating war);

- In general, multinationals and governments are not extremely pro-active in driving change, but have a much more responsive attitude in face of public demands. In this sense, size is quite a limiting thing;

- In this sense, it’s more probable that the main paradigm changes will come from individuals, who are visionary, try beyond the others have tried and establish horizontal networks, both to design and spread the new inventions.

Coming back from such interesting conversation (around midnight), Lucy, Jem, Jhow and I played a little bit of soccer in the Centennial Park. Random, we???
