Author Brad Zarnett

Brad Zarnett

Brad Zarnett is a Canadian sustainability strategist, writer and speaker. In 2008 Brad founded the Toronto Sustainability Speaker Series (TSSS) to showcase sustainability leadership and has since hosted more than 40 events.

After 12 years of consulting and promoting leadership in Corporate Sustainability Brad began to realize that the promise of a more sustainable world was not being delivered. He decided to take a closer look, and what he saw was disturbing.

Brad’s current focus is to broaden the conversation as to why Corporate Sustainability, CSR, Impact Investing and Profit with Purpose has failed to live up to its promise and more importantly, what is the best path forward to ensure that we are able to pass along a functioning planet to our children.

Brad has a Masters in Environmental Studies from York University in Toronto and you can follow him on twitter @bradzarnett, Medium where he has been recognized as a top contributor in the Climate Change category, LinkedIn or by joining his email list.

We’re not talking about a few tweaks here and there, but rather, a dramatic shift in the ideological approach and the narrative of the role of business.

The Narrative “Greening of Business” Is a Joke But We’re Not Laughing

Is CSR Working, Business and Sustainability
The Greening of Business and Win-Win solutions via CSR, Impact Investing and Profit with Purpose appear to just be a cover for corporate elites and billionaires that distract the public while they continue to plunder the planet and add to their billions.

Is CSR Working, Energy, Cities and Climate Change
The current consensus for the carbon tax is that we all need to pay it so that we can begin to change our collective behaviour. This is pure neoliberal nonsense.
