Can you make the world more sustainable by working for a corporation?
According to Net Impact and its free, downloadable career guide Corporate Careers that Make a Difference, you can.
Everyday, business leaders make a positive environmental and social impact in their companies — both in dedicated green jobs, as well as in more conventional job functions.
On this episode of the Idealist Careers Podcast, I chatted with Abby Davisson from Net Impact, a national nonprofit dedicated to engaging business in making the world sustainable, and Yonnie Leung, Principal of Environmental Sustainability for Shared Services at Pacific Gas and Electric Company in California — and who is profiled in the Net Impact career guide.
During the conversation, we also briefly mention Net Impact’s Business as UNusual Guide to MBA programs that have a focus on corporate citizenship. The 2011 Guide launches this week and is available at netimpact.org.
