  • Developing and middle income countries were angry that while the draft framework contains a range of prescriptions for developing countries, it fails to recognise that developed countries should uphold their responsibilities to take the lead in combating climate change by reducing their emissions.
  • The draft framework has little to say about existing operations, but the Bank claims to be "leading by example" by making all its offices "carbon neutral", though this will largely be achieved by the controversial practice of purchasing offsets rather than reducing emissions.

  • cognitive scientists now define the ability to play a game as the distinguishing cognitive trait of the human brain
  • my benchmark for the games I want to help create is that they should only be games that serve a humanitarian purpose, that give people a chance to tackle urgent problems like poverty, that lead to world peace.

  • Company spending has been squeezed by the global recession and budgets for corporate social responsibility have suffered disproportionately.
  • "There has been a tendency to compartmentalize so-called corporate social responsibility activities as an adjunct to the mainstream business activities."
  • "innovation is fundamentally about how the world can become a better place."
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • "Corporate social responsibility asked the question: what is the impact of this business on the world? Sustainable business asks the question: what is the impact of the world on this business?"
  • "Companies are asking how they can be socially responsible in a way that also moves the business forward. It's no longer about having one corporate social responsibility guy who is supposed to be the moral compass for the company, like a chaplain in an Army regiment. It's about making sustainable business the standard operating procedure."
  • "Sustainable business has faced the ultimate double whammy of the credit crunch and the total damp squib that was Copenhagen. If climate change was the great driver for corporate social responsibility, then that driver seems to have stalled."
  • initiatives also increase employee loyalty
  • "If governments provide a strong legal framework that aligns incentives with business, then you have something you could call sustainability. If not, then corporate social responsibility will just be glacé cherries on an unsustainable cake."
