  • 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."

  • But Martin says the concern level in the South Pole is mild compared to the Arctic in the north, that several times in recent years has become a virtually open ocean. "The reduction in summer ice is a source of great concern. And Antarctic ice is essentially in balance or very slightly increasing, with the exception of one region," he said.

  • 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.
