A few facts will suffice to make the point : our global ecological footprint has tripled since 1961 ; WWF’s Living Planet Index shows a 29% species decline since 1970 ; and 60% of the world’s ecosystems have been degraded, according to the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. We do not fare much better on social issues: according to the UNDP, 2.5 billion people still live on less than $ 2 a day ; 1 billion have no access to water ; and 2.6 billion lack access to sanitation.
What about ethical issues? Not much good news there either. In 2007, 1 in 10 people around the world had to pay a bribe to get services. Before Enron collapsed in fraudulent disgrace in 2002, Fortune magazine had voted it one of the 100 Best Companies to Work for in America in 2000. More worrying still, Enron had all the CSR codes, reports and practices you would expect from a socially responsible company.
“Houston, we have a problem!”
