Interview with Heather Lang, North American Research Director for Sustainalytics. Part 3.
Transcript:
That was another really interesting opportunity to be
involved in the process of reviewing the submissions from a number of
really amazing environmental forerunners and looking at three levels
of engagement and looking at a senior executive who has done some
really groundbreaking activities within their company to push forward the
environmental agenda, also looking at a staff member who has done the
same within a company, and then looking at a team to see a team that’s
really rallied and taken the environmental performance of the company
forward in a really meaningful way.
And I think it opened my eyes to what so many different companies are
doing both large and small, companies here in Canada are doing to green
their operations.
We looked at the performance so are there clear metrics to show that the company has been successful with these initiatives and then also to look at the process.
And that was an interesting bucket to see to the extent to which it engaged
within its own corporate culture and also to see how it engaged within
its broader corporate community such as its industry peers to reach out
and share best practices. So those are the three different buckets that
we looked at across a range of different industries and different size
companies from very small local businesses to large Canadian operations
and, in some cases, subsidiaries of global companies that are really
pushing this whole movement forward.
We saw a lot of leadership on the financial services companies. We also saw a lot on the retail and obviously on the more consumer-facing industries so the retailers primarily and then of course some of the consumer services companies like in coffee and hotels and restaurants and that type of thing that were trying to soften their environmental impact. Or and a lot of them, in cases, were companies that were really founded on principles of sustainability. So that was part of their original mandate and everything that they have been able to do in terms of walking the talk as well in terms of pushing that forward.

I’m doing all the big things but I want to make sure I do the little things too.
suggestions? websites?
These are my two favorite:
http://www.idealbite.com/
http://www.greenerchoices.org/
Ideal bite is especially helpful for the little things. Cute and fun too! They have a daily tip you can sign up for and also an archive of past tips.
Enjoy.
Where do I find valuable information about green living and a healthy diet?
There is a lot of talk about green living, organic and raw foods, but most info is so basic that everyone just keeps repeating the stuff already known. Can anyone suggest a place with more advanced and very specific articles stating the facts with references back to the primary sources?
Fishing out the info from internet takes special search skills, try very specific keywords, use quotes, etc. Also http://organicwise.org has many articles with each of them linking back to the original source. It appears new articles appear weekly.
