Current Projects and Professional Activities

 I am continually updating my research on the social and environmental responsibility of companies. I am working on a cellphone version of the rankings as well as a resource for socially responsible investors. I am on the advisory board of a couple of nonprofits as they CSR expert. I am developing a tool to more accurately measure overall social and environmental impact based on a framework similar to that used in calculating an ecological footprint.
