Power to the People: Dave vs United Airlines

Power to the People: Dave vs United Airlines

Twitter led the Iranian election fall out and the meltdown of Twitter itself led the news last week. But more significantly, headlining for the past few weeks has been Dave Carroll. Dave (as you would all know by now) had the misfortune of flying United Airlines a year ago, wherein baggage handlers trashed his prized Taylor guitar.

Supply Chain CSR

Supply Chain CSR

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is so much more than corporate philanthropy or indulging in CSR reporting. If you truly want to be seen as a socially responsible organisation (surely the true meaning and ultimate goal of CSR programs?) then socially responsible behaviour; those values you claim to be so important to you, have to become part of the corporate DNA. News Limited’s One Degree program is a good example of a company reducing its carbon footprint and expanding the impact of this by taking the message to its customers. I applaud the initiative: Every person, every company, everywhere, just making one small change at a time, could result in some very big outcomes worldwide.
