The credit goes to BusinessWeek, not me, but it sure got my attention. You can read the full article here if you’re interested. It’s the subtitle that I’m most interested in. “Is getting computers to poor kids charity — or big business”

It’s graduation time around the world and we often get questions from graduates on, “how do I get a job in the area of Corporate Responsibility?” It’s great to hear from these students because they have so much passion about the area of CSR—and they are not jaded like me. :-)
I have the following “free” advice for these recent grads:

Green buildings, green computers, greenwashing and greenbacks. Have you heard enough yet? I hope not - because I’m afraid you are going to be hearing a lot more for a long time. The temptation is high to search through a company like Intel and label every good environmental practice or program - green.
But to what end? Green credit? With who and for what?

What is technology’s role in community development? That might sound like a stupid question, but for communities, answering this question may not be as easy as you think. That may be why a standing-room-only audience joined panelists from IBM, Create Hope, Fannie May and Intel to ruminate on the subject last May at the United States Chamber of Commerce’s Business Civic Leadership Center’s Corporate Community Investment conference held in Washington, DC. Intel Community Solutions was invited to share our unique approach to community development, one because our projects demonstrate novel ways how technology can be used to spur community development, and two, because we tend to develop projects that are, for the most part, self-sustaining. The question of technology’s role in community development stirred an interesting flow of opinions, sharing and ideas, focused less on the question and more on the challenges communities face when considering incorporating technology in community development, and in how to overcome them.

I’ve thought about a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) blog for a few years now. I still remember sitting in the launch meeting for the Global Reporting Initiative in 1997 in London….wondering if this CSR/Sustainability concept was just common sense or another passing business fad.
