Net Impact’s Austin Corporate Sustainability Leadership (CSL) Consortium held their second their second Austin CSL event on Tuesday, January 25^th. This was also the first event that was held in compliment to Austin Energy’s ISLA Forum – a format we look forward to continuing in the future.

I had an interesting conversation with Net Impact Austin advisor Sarah Cooke last week about the definition of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). She has embarked on a new project on how employees can shape their employers CSR strategies. One of the members of her team was tasked with creating a definition of CSR and they responded with something like "it's anything a company endeavors to do that doesn't effect the bottom line."
