The SHARE News Team spent the day capturing the reactions and ideas from the BSR Conference 2010. The videos below are our top picks of Wednesday’s SHARE videos, presenting corporate social responsibility and sustainability efforts in a way that is thought provoking, inspiring, and even at times controversial.
- The Food Debate: More Complicated Than You Think: We heard three very different opinions about what the private and public sectors can do to ensure the viability of our food systems. Check out what Slow Food USA had to say about McDonald’s opinions, and then check out what the World Wildlife Fund has to say about the state of organic farming.
- Inspiration From Outside: Naif Al-Mutawa is the creator of “The 99,” the first group of comic superheroes born of an Islamic archetype. He took a few moments to share how “The 99” battles extremist messages with ones that are tolerant, multicultural, and peaceful.
- Innovation From Inside: Levi Strauss Foundation’s Executive Director Daniel Jae-Won Lee told us about the Foundation’s focus on gender issues, explaining that gender is not a “sideshow, but something front and center.”
