Editor's Notes

  1. Link: So what I’m going to do first is put this some environmental context.
  2. The one that I’d really worry about if I were you is the Human extinction probability – three studies done – all came in at around 50% Link: I can sense I’m not selling this to some of you, but bear with me because the natural environment has a significant effect on the economy.
  3. Link: Now I can see you getting a little more interested… so I’ll put this into a business context for you.
  4. Link: Explain the funnel metaphor as an intro to next slide.
  5. Living within our carrying Capacity means that the global population can support itself indefinitely by the quantity of renewable and non-renewable resources available within the Earth’s supporting ecosystems Our ability to operate to do this is dependant on resource availability, population size and growth and the rate of resource consumption per capita. At present our per capita consumption rate and our overall global population are continuing to rise. In 2005, the WW Institute indicated that we use 1.25 and have been living beyond the Earth’s means since 1987
  6. Link: To make this a bit more tangible for you, lets talk about how this relates to your key business drivers.
  7. It’s good for stakeholder relations People are asking, good to have an answer It engages existing staff, entices new staff and reduces staff turnover Interface – staff turnover down 7% By comparison – if you are seen to be not doing it, human psychology dictates that you will automatically be seen as the pole opposite – silence is just as bad
  8. Not so important to us, but definitely is for a corporate Positive press but also seemingly independent endorsement. Show people externally that we’re not only being environmentally responsible, but are being prudent in a business sense. Also has a positive impact internally because people feel proud and that they’re working for a company that shares their values. But for many of you, the most important factor will be the dollars and cents and there are plenty of opportunities to save those
  9. It’s all about recognising the opportunities
  10. Link: And these principles are the same in any business, because we’ve done it as North Shore City Council too.
  11. So, have I sold you yet? Link: So, have I sold you on sustainability yet?! If not, I’m more than happy to answer any question you have to ask.
