GreenBiz.com's GreenBuzz:
Taking Care of Business
This week, GreenBiz follows up last month's book excerpt, "What Matters Most: Shell Oil's CSR Crisis in the North Sea," with a recent interview of Shell VP Robin Aram. Reporter John Elkington asked the top executive why, after successfully navigating a public-relations near-disaster regarding the Brent Spar storage tanker, the company is dragging its feet over the U.N.'s proposed guidelines governing business and human rights.
Also this week: Authors Susan Svoboda and John Whalen offer a blueprint for using role-playing exercises -- also called "experiential learning techniques" -- to teach sustainability to the next crop of MBAs.
