Welcome to #BCorpMonth!

On this 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, I think of Rudolf Vrba, one of only a handful of Jews ever to escape the camp - who did it to warn the world. I told his story when I was a guest on the brilliant Rest is History podcast. You can hear that here open.spotify.com/episode/1Ezd...

Well worth your time.

Rest in peace Charles Handy. A brilliant thinker on people, businesses and organisations. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2024...

Belfast Harbour Commissioners Office brushes up well

Good afternoon Belfast.

Good to see the statutory levy for gambling, which requires operators to set aside 1% of their gross profits to fund treatment, research and prevention finally coming to fruition. Not least due to the tireless efforts of my @smfthinktank.bsky.social colleague @jranoyes.bsky.social

Better than nothing. But far from enough #COP29 www.bbc.com/news/article...

"The Guardian was the first major international news organisation to achieve B Corp status in 2019 – which means meeting a series of criteria for high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Liam Byrne on tomorrow's budget: "We still have too many businesses focused solely on maximising their own short-term gain. To create real change, boards must take a more holistic view of success which requires advancing a new model for marketplace success." www.politicshome.com/thehouse/art...

"Despite what they described as a "significant financial blow", the business said it had honoured its commitment to its small-scale suppliers and had already paid the three artisan cheesemakers in full." Well done Neal's Yard Dairy. news.sky.com/story/scamme...

Well said Cath Bishop www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/o...

Open AI says it wants to become a Benefit Corporation. Andrew Kassoy, co-founder of the global B Corp movement, says that doesn't go far enough. www.nytimes.com/2024/10/14/o...

A digital life well lived. www.thetimes.com/article/5ecd...

What a night to be a Villa fan. More to come, we trust.

A deep, thoughtful open conversation about Israeli, Palestine and everything that entails. Two people starting in very different places who - crucially - are willing to listen. Well worth your time. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's easy to forget the reality of the COVID pandemic, particularly if we didn't experience its worst. The least we can do for those who did is hear their testimony.

Happy 25th birthday to The West Wing. Still one of TV's best political dramas. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

40 years of hurt etc etc www.theguardian.com/football/202...

A warm welcome to Oxford #UKBCorpFestival

23 years ago I wrote a story for the Guardian about a stowaway who had fallen from a plane and landed in a car park in Richmond, w London. Then, earlier this year, I received an email from his younger brother. This is their story www.theguardian.com/world/articl...

Birmingham as a city is in a tough place right now. I'd love to Lee Child building something exciting and new in his childhood home. www.theguardian.com/books/articl...

Love this question and have no answer

Here are the unprecedented 15 national heat records that have been broken since the start of this year.

Hard agree. And the same goes for anyone seeking to address inequality and disadvantage. www.theguardian.com/media/articl...
