What is your Interest?: Corporate Responsibility, Sustainable Development, Environment

Name of Company / Organization:: School of Community and Regional Planning/University of British Columbia

What would you most like to get out of this network, for example in terms of learning or support?: I am developing a set of socially responsible investment guidelines for the management of UBC's Endowment

What is your current job and/or what field are you studying?: Master's Degree in Planning

What knowledge, skills and experience do you have that you would be happy for people to contact you over?: HIV Prevention, Community Development, Determinants of Health, Corporate Social Responsibility and Socially Responsible Investment

What else would you like to say about yourself?: I obtained a degree in international trade during my undergraduate studies. Then I migrated to Canada and worked in social services. I understand that we need to combine social with economic concerns. Our biggest challenge, is in my opinion, developing economies and societies that address limits to growth set out by the ecosphere.
I believe that SRI can be used as a tool to influence corporate and individual behaviour to promote sustainability.

I handled clients before as consultant whom my team counseled on both organics & biodiversity. There were some though, individual small planters, who were glued to mono-crop, though openly shifted to organics. I would recommend your team explore the 'biodynamic farming' of the Rudolf Steiner-related groups, they have formulas that can hasten the fermentation of biomass (e.g. leaves, cut up twigs and wastes) into fertilizers. I'm sure Mexico manufactures local machines that can churn out excess tree twigs and branches into small pellets or even smaller that can easily rot to fertizer. A small planter, however, may not be able to afford such a machine, so grouping them into an association and then assigning the machine to the association will be an arrangement. So these are some options that organics can go. .

I'm part of a group working to get the University of California to create a responsible investment policy. (www.endowmentethics.org/)

Do you know that the biggest annual SRI conference will be in Whistler CA this year? You should check it out. (sriintherockies.com)
I believe their are a few scholarships available for students/first time attendees.
