		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Sustainability&#8221; is not always sustainable. Simply, doing and describing what you do as sustainable does not make it so. For organizations (and us, personally!) to be sustainable in what we do, we have to be sustainable in who we are and how we see the world. This gives us our best shot at doing something that is actually going to get or generate sustainable results. In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The mindset behind Really Strategic CSR is an eco-centric one. Eco-logical and eco-nomical, the eco-centric mind seeks solutions that just don&#8217;t benefit they generate.
From a permaculture perspective this is called obtaining a yield. To get a yield from your efforts you have to understand the patterns and processes in place that provide that yield. The key, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is Really Strategic CSR?
So what does Really Strategic CSR look like? First let&#8217;s look at what it is not:

Governed by linear thinking and analysis
Reductionist in scope
Short-term in it&#8217;s orientation
For the benefit of the corporation and the cause only
Undisciplined support of multiple causes unrelated to the corporation&#8217;s strategic interests
Reactionary

Really Strategic CSR is:

Jessica Margolin at Solvation:

Some corporations merely and cynically &#8220;greenwash&#8221;, others sincerely try to be &#8220;green&#8221; but only reach the level of seeking out and supporting random or thematically connected NPO&#8217;s or social welfare causes.
