Here’s a topic I hope to begin posting a bit more about: information communication technology (ICT) and sustainability, especially the newer tools that increase interaction among the stakeholders in the sustainability debate.
Perusing AccountAbility’s website, I came across an article from last summer in the Financial Times – Can Web 2.0 Revolutionise Corporate Responsibility? – and a video by the same gent, Steve Rochlin.
I am not a big fan of new terms and buzz words, but do think something is changing. There is increased communication in a whole new array of platforms and with many new options for people to request and generate information. Feedback loops are exciting for improving public consultation, making reporting a lot more accountable and just linking up stakeholders in potentially beneficial ways.
