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.

The fight for corporate sustainability is nothing more than a proxy fight for corporate power that has run amok.

Are B Corps the Future of Business OR Just Another “Elite Charade for Changing the World”?

Brad Zarnett
February 8, 2019
system change, Is CSR Working
If the idea of B Corps was actually swaying large companies, investors and billionaires around the world to behave differently, then perhaps we wouldn’t need regulations. But in large part, this is not the case and to claim otherwise is wishful thinking.

Considering the immensity of the climate challenge that lay before us, these companies could not be more offside.

system change, Is CSR Working, Business and Sustainability
When confronted with the idea that regulations could move us much more quickly to address our urgent global environmental challenges, the response is often that we, the consumer, need to change our wasteful and polluting behaviour.
