The National Sustainability in Business Conference will be held in Brisbane from the 23-24 March 2017.
Mr Scott Losee, Director at Losee Consulting Pty Ltd joins us this month to discuss ‘Sustainability Lite? Has Business Lost Touch with the “True Meaning” of Sustainability?’
Scott Losee
This presentation offers an unapologetic critique of mainstream business sustainability based on a re-examination of its original intent, juxtaposing this with examples of current practice and branding. The focus is on prominent and recognisable businesses, products and services that appear to not live up to these original intentions, or their own marketing claims. It begins to formulate some approaches to reorienting business sustainability, so that the best of business (innovation, efficiency, coordination, responsiveness, value creation and sharing) can be brought to bear on humanity’s existential challenges.
