EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is one of my comments for a LinkedIn post that the Journal of Responsible Production and Consumption tagged me.

In May, I wrote an article titled, “The real risks of missing ESG goals: buycott versus boycott” – https://bit.ly/3C1GbRl

The reason for sharing this post is to remind everyone that achieving the above goals ultimately comes down to the decisions you and I make in our daily lives.

For example, let’s look at food waste. I am starting to actively use an environmental service called Too Good To Go – tagging the company’s execs for their comment on how it works and their unique reporting capabilities: Jamie CrummieRikke Nygaard NissenChristian BuhagiarSteven Wilson FCILT

Other programs worth noting include Flashfood, FoodHero, and Delivery Hero – Josh Domingues, Raj Sharma, Bram Warshafsky, Mariam Awara, Andrew Grilo, Nicholas Bertram, Alan Yasalonis, Curt Topper, JEAN QUAEDVLIEG đź›’, Kris Ryken – here is a post by Kris on “partnering with grocers to make sure food gets to families instead of ending up in landfills” – https://bit.ly/3S7aUW6

To borrow a phrase from a famous inaugural speech – “ask not what sustainability can do for you; ask what you can do for sustainability.”

So, what are you prepared to do?
