		<description><![CDATA[There is growing evidence that CSR as commonly practiced is not an effective use of corporate resources.
In a recent McKinsey poll of 391 CEO&#8217;s whose companies participate in the UN Global Compact, the CEO&#8217;s listed &#8220;competing strategic priorities&#8221; as the most significant barrier to implementing an integrated strategic approach to CSR. This was followed by:

		<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[Think about it. Sustainable is getting by-enough to continue to living. It means defining, targeting and ensuring a minimum. Drop below that minimum and we die&#8211;either slowly or in spectacularly apocalyptic fashion. 
Then there&#8217;s the oxymoronic issue of sustainable development. Development, as currently practiced, is a linear process based on targets for growth. The paradigm [...]]]></description>
