Corporate Social Responsibility Is Not Public Relations, event 18 February

What was the inspiration to start it?

The publication of my forthcoming book, Corporate Social Responsibility Is Not Public Relations to be published on 18 February. This book contains 15 global inspirational interviews with thought leaders and entrepreneurs, including David Katz, CEO of Plastic Bank; Lois Acton, mentored by Anita Roddick, founder of the Bodyshop, Fred Huguez, who escaped the LA gang culture about the essence of sustainability, and more.

The foreword is by environmental journalist Lucy Siegle. I wanted to bring the wisdom of these diverse voices within the book alive at an online event.
