Summary

The buzz: Giving at the office. The UN’s post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require a multi-stakeholder collaboration recognizing diverse issues around the world. Goal 8 – “Good jobs and economic growth” for developing and developed countries – targets private sector companies that integrate sustainability and corporate social responsibility into their business plan. How can your organization help? The experts speak. Sue Stephenson, The Ritz-Carlton: “A small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world…it is the only thing that ever has” (Margaret Mead). Ahsiya Posner Mencin, Ph.D., PULSE Volunteer Partnership, GSK: “Collaboration is…the kind of thing that would never be born from just one of us sitting down with a guitar” (Grant-Lee Phillips). Alicia Lenze, SAP: “In the long history of humankind…those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed” (Darwin, Megginson).
