Hey everyone,
Only five more days left until the Corporate Social Responsibility Live Chat
on TakingITGlobal! The Live Chat will be taking place here:
http://www.takingitglobal.org/connections/chat/ on Thursday February 21st at
15:00 GMT. We have some exciting speakers lined up, so I hope you'll be able
to make it!
Here is more information on the speakers:
*Kristle Calisto-Tavares, Founder and Community Innovator, Inspired Practice
(http://www.inspiredpractice.com/home.html )
In April 2007, Kristle Calisto-Tavares founded iNSPiRED PRACTiCE, an
enterprise with a mission to work with conscientious businesses and
organizations to interpret the concepts of sustainability into socially,
ecologically and economically profitable actions. Based in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, iNSPiRED PRACTiCE is pioneering the way to a new and more evolved
community by walking the talk and teaching others how to do the same. This
means demonstrating not only the feasibility but viability of an enterprise
that: contributes positively to the social fabric of our communities;
protects the integrity of our natural environment; and, generates meaningful
opportunities to support our economy. Kristle has developed a reputation for
incredible stamina, resourcefulness, and innovative leadership. Before
iNSPiRED PRACTiCE, Kristle was the founder of the University of Toronto
Environmental Resource Network for which an annual award was named in her
honour. This student-led and funded grant-giving network has proven vital to
maintaining the integrity of sustainability initiatives at Canada's largest
and most prominent university. Kristle will share with us her experiences as
a young eco-entrepreneur in moving the corporate social responsibility
agenda forward.
