Corporate Responsibility: Welcome!

Welcome to the first edition of my new blog on Corporate Responsibility. My name is Tad Radzinski, and my passion is using the power of business to help shift our society to a more sustainable economy. I have worked in the environmental space for 30 years, but I really got into corporate sustainability in 1998 when I met Ray Anderson for the first time. After meeting Ray and seeing the potential of corporate responsibility – not only to preserve the environment, but as a viable business strategy, I dove in headfirst. I read every book I possibly could, and then started my consulting company in 2001. Since then, we have helped hundreds of organizations implement sustainability to advance their business and reduce environmental and social impacts.

Throughout my career, I have been continually thinking about how we can change our current system where everything is based on consumption. There are many companies out there making great strides, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Working in the sustainability arena is very rewarding and I highly recommend getting involved.

I started this blog because I want to share my insight with you to help you advance sustainable principles in your organization. The first few weeks, I will cover a basic introduction to Corporate Responsibility to set the stage before diving into specific topics in depth.

Each week, I will release a new video in each series, along with links to articles and other sources of valuable information. Please comment or contact me so I can address your questions and topics of interest. I hope you find the information helpful and join me in the mission to effect change through Corporate Responsibility.
