Finally, we’re live! As I said on Green & White, I wanted to start a formal discussion on CSR and social responsibility in general ever since last year when some of our posts gathered a lot of interest in the area.

But we can never do these things alone.

For one thing, we need people who are passionate about these topics and can actually break apart these ideas to present actionable results. Fortunately, over the past year I’ve found interested people like Ramla and Waqas.

But its also been a hard time finding people who are experts in the field to get involved in the discussion and add their thoughts, especially when the medium is a blog! A year ago, I had a pretty hard time convincing people that blogs could be based on professional discussion… but as Green & White has grown, the appreciation among companies and high-level people of the strength of the medium has grown too. So fortunately, now we have found an excellent panel to represent this community as well (we’ll introduce them in time.)

Finally, these types of community activities cannot start without a certain leap of faith in the need to build such communities, and I’m very glad that we’ve found supporters who wanted such an open-directional discussion to take place.

So the blog is set, the thinking caps are on, and the final piece thats left is YOU - lets get together and discuss social responsibility candidly and thoroughly just the same way we discuss innovation and modern-management on Green & White.

What do you say - do you like what we’re setting out to do here?
