Sustain-ability
What is sustainable?
I use this question when thinking about pretty much everything. Sustainability is the broad category this philosophy and the often-hijacked term ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance). When done right, ESG connects the risks of being unsustainable with real economic impacts.
In short, if what you are doing harms people and the planet then your company should be out of business.
I focus on reality-checking the misguided philosophy of startups and corporate executives as an ESG and Sustainability contributor to the GLOBIS (Tokyo) University Graduate Business School’s publication, GLOBIS Insights.

“70% of greenhouse gas emissions are generated by 100 companies.” I first heard this statement in the summer of 2017. The shock of it started a feedback loop in my head. Three simple, distinct questions emerged, loud and clear: 1. Who are these companies? 2. Why are...
