Prepare for Deep Dive when Pitching Sustainability to New York Times

One of the best punchlines delivered so far at BSR Conference came from New York Times sustainability reporter David Gelles when panelists were asked to recommend new breakthrough communications techniques.

“If I could briefly plug print advertising,” Gelles said, referring to a full-page ad that appeared on the back of the Times business section today from the office chat platform Slack, which used the space to deliver an...

3BL Media Recognized by Springfield Chamber as Region’s Third Fastest Growing Company

When 3BL Media advertises for talent on job boards in western Massachusetts, we’ve used the phrase, “Silicon Alley Meets the Pioneer Valley.”

Juxtaposing New York City’s bustling media tech scene against the beautiful backdrop of the Berkshires seems to be working for 3BL Media, which has just been honored by the Springfield Regional Chamber for being third in revenue growth among regional companies.

Two of my colleagues from our Northampton headquarters, Jon Shrair and Rebecca Kreke, brought home a beautiful trophy from the...

Forget RBIs. I’m Keeping Score of CSR During the World Series

While most fans are watching player performance or yucking it up over the lack of respect suffered by the Cubs and Indians for generations, I’m keeping an eye on the fall classic for social and environmental sidebars.

Clevelander Gary Weiland sent me a photo today showing him and his niece, Jennifer Frantz, beaming with pride at Progressive Field Wednesday night.

Weiland, a veteran corporate communications executive who worked for the Cleveland Clinic for more than 20 years, donned a “Green Team” shirt and collected recyclables from fans between innings.  He and Jennifer got...

Sustainability Beyond the Photo Op

One of the perks of attending sustainability and corporate social responsibility events is exposure to business leaders who are genuinely excited about the way their organizations are making the world a better place.

Increasingly, I’m encountering senior executives who encourage their peers to look closely at CSR programs to make sure they have adequate scale to actually make a difference, and that they connect to a company’s mission.

Bill DiCroce, the newly appointed CEO Veolia North America, is publicly applauding American business leaders for focusing on sustainability as...

Analysts Mum on Sustainability During Earnings Calls

Questions from sell-side stock analysts about corporate sustainability issues remain few and far between on the quarterly earnings conference calls held by publicly traded companies.

More and more institutional investors, however, are digging deep into voluminous sustainability reports to gain a strategic advantage.

Those are some of the observations shared this week during the Bloomberg BNA Sustainability Business Summit in New York.

James Hnat joined JetBlue Airways in 2001 and has listened to every one of the NASDAQ-listed company’s calls with investors. JetBlue’s...

Offshore Wind Power, From Rhode Island to Copenhagen

For the past couple of summers, our family has watched as construction workers ferried back and forth between Rhode Island’s Point Judith and a wind farm being built off nearby Block Island.

We knew the turbines would be spinning soon when the main highway traversing the peninsula was gouged to make way for a cable that would bring ashore any surplus electricity not consumed by Block Island residents and businesses.

For the sustainarati in the Ocean State there is clearly a sense of pride that the United State’s first offshore wind project got approved and built there. ...

‘Purpose is like Pokemon,’ contends Mr. Goodvertising

Among an impressive line-up of deep thinkers, CEOs and Ph.Ds sharing wisdom about instilling purpose into businesses, it was Homer Simpson that drove the point home.

Corporate branding executives are not unlike the lovable cartoon oaf battling with his alter ego, contents Tom Kolster, author and founder of the Danish creative agency Goodvertising.

“You have a mission and a vision, and then introduce a purpose – a third thing. How are you ever going to move forward with that?” he...

University of California's "Audacious" Climate Action Plan

If the University of California was a state, it would be the 15th largest.

The annual budget for UC is 20 times larger than Arizona, where Janet Napolitano was governor from 2003 to 2009.

So the impact of California’s 10 public university campuses, hospitals and research labs becoming carbon neutral in their energy consumption is an “audacious” goal, Napolitano told Verge 16, the GreenBiz Media Group conference, in Santa Clara, California.

The decision to tackle energy as a primary issue at UC stemmed from the same kind of assessment of meta risks she...

Powering Data Centers with Renewable Energy

The typical Internet data center consumes as much electricity as a small U.S. state, Microsoft’s chief environmental strategist, Rob Bernard, told attendees at the Verge 16 sustainability conference in Silicon Valley today.

As oceans warm, lakes dry up and water systems collapse due to climate change, the tech giants enabling cloud computing are mobilizing so surfing the web doesn’t contribute to the problem.

“It’s easy to get discouraged,” Bernard acknowledged, recommending attendees read the e-book, “...

Huffington Post’s Confino promises sharp uptick in social, environmental coverage

Leaning heavily on video and guided by metrics showing readers crave stories about solutions to environmental and social problems, a senior Huffington Post editor says coverage in the post-Ariana era will emphasize “positive journalism”

Jo Confino, speaking to CSR and sustainability communicators during a 3BL Media webinar, said the highly trafficked news site is determined to produce a flood of content and partner with activist organizations to drive change in the areas it deems important.
