Assignment 1: Symbol of CSR / Sustainability The symbol expresses perfectly the idea of sustainability. The stump represents trees which are being cut. Out of the stump stems a sprout, which represents new life instead of the old one. In the back we see a circle which symbolisesthe shining Earth – a common symbol of sustainability. The idea of this symbol is that people should think of the future – if trees are being cut, then new ones must be planted so that future generations wouldn‘t feel lack of any substance or material we use nowadays. The symbol of New Society Publishers, socially responsible and carbon neutral North American publishing company.
Assignment 2: Video / Film on CSR / Sustainability An interview with Michael Hastings. He is KPMG’s Global Head of Citizenship and Diversity. He was previously the BBC’s first Head of Corporate Social Responsibility having been the BBC’s Head of Public Affairs. He is also very closely connected to CSR and sustainability via several other organisations. He simply represents a real and inspiring idea of CSR, which is known to be certainly backed not only by his beliefs, but also by his life experience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNKn93VViUc

Assignment 3: Identifying CSR / Sustainability Heroes (3) DaliaStreimikiene Getting to minds of lithuanian polititians is very difficult. Even though there are this many scientific articles written by this author (and even more by other authors) on the topic of energy sustainability and use of renewable egergy sources, Lithuania, after closing its former energy source Ignalina NPP and having an opportunity to turn to renewable energy, still goes for nuclear power. The efforts made by this scientist encourage to research this field even further and look for more influential methods to reach public and polititians, who make the most important decisions.
