Institute for Rural Futures Research Seminar
Time: Tuesday, 15 April, 2014, 1.00pm.
Location: Institute for Rural Futures Seminar Room (Building CO12)
Presenter: Professor Jeremy B. Williams*
Background: Westpac was recently ranked no. 1 among the Corporate Knights’ Top 100 most sustainable companies, and yet it has loaned close to $3bn to the fossil fuel industry.? Nestlé, a corporation with questionable sustainability credentials, is listed on the FTSE4Good index.?? UniSuper, under pressure from members, recently announced that its socially responsible packages would divest from fossil fuels, gaming, alcohol and weapons this year. One might reasonably ask how they could ever have been considered socially responsible investments in the first place.??The problem, it seems, is that sustainability is in the eye of the beholder. This seminar presents the case for a sustainable enterprise economy, and how we might identify a truly sustainable enterprise.
Please join us.
