From Corporate Handouts to Corporate Partnerships
Veronica ScheubelPhilanthropy is about donating to charity without expecting a return. Companies have historically contributed to society in this way. Strategic philanthropy, which is a more modern approach, is about directing corporate giving to a cause that is aligned with the core business. Yet in the 21st century, strategic philanthropy does not suffice in providing leadership. There is a growing demand for companies to move beyond strategic philanthropy to modern community partnerships, co-creating solutions to pressing societal and environmental problems by contributing core competencies and truly aiming for impact. In the process, shared value creation for both society and the company is not only desirable for companies, but also to stakeholders. more[...]

Rio+20 must provide for special measures to assist developing countries in the efficiency of their economies. more[...]

Achim Steiner
Achim Steiner, UNEPRio+20 – as the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development has come to be known – provides an unprecedented opportunity for the world to transform the current economic paradigm into one that enhances human well-being while respecting planetary boundaries and environmental limits. This will require changes in the way we perceive progress, make financial decisions, and do business in order to ensure that social and environmental considerations are fully integrated into decision-making.

Andrei Galaev
Andrei Galaev, Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd.Decisions made at global conferences have great effects on CSR and sustainable development progress and concept advancement. I believe that the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development will be the next milestone in international efforts to accelerate progress toward achieving sustainable development globally. It is an opportunity for participants to honestly and openly discuss what has been achieved in the last 20 years since Agenda 21 at the Earth Summit in Rio; what the biggest challenges and issues have been; and whether governments, business, the UN system, and other parties have managed to address them effectively. more[...]

Douglas Tompkins
Douglas TompkinsThe Rio+20 conference in June 2012 has been generating concern and a lack of confidence on the part of many environmentalists and conservationists I know and work with. Although the first Rio conference ignited hopes for millions and was in fact an historical launching point for united government action on environmental issues, it still fell far short of expectations. Those with optimistic visions – and what I consider to be often Pollyanna characterizations of these unwieldy and multination world conferences – perhaps can see it in a positive light. One hears all the excuses that this or that was better than nothing, or that “perfection is the enemy of the good” and similar aphorisms. more[...]
