Journalists interested in Sustainability issues

I’m always interested in corporate / social responsibility and sustainability, and while I don’t live in China at the moment, did live there for many years and do speak Cantonese fluently. I don’t have my environmental portfolio on lightstalkers yet, but you can see it on my site: www.earthlightphotos.com

Could you provide some more information about what you are doing – if there is the opportunity of outreach work, I’d be interested in being included in the list.

I’ve just started working in communications for an organization called the Global Reporting Initiative, a non profit multi stakeholder institution and a collaborating centre of the United Nations Environment Programme, GRI has created the most widely used reporting framework for performance on human rights, labor, environmental, anti-corruption, and other corporate citizenship issues. Its reporting framework is largely seen as the global de facto standard in sustainability reporting.

As I’ve mentioned I am creating a list journalists and photographers who are interested in the sustainability issues and CSR. I want to build a network of people to collaborate with on the issue, share and disseminate information. If you’re writing/ shooting on sustainability issues at any point and visa versa we could find ways to work together and promoting the concept of sustainability.

In terms of China, GRI is working to promote the idea of sustainability reporting in the country and is open to suggestions on ways to engage with local companies on the issue through the media and events. At a later date we may want to involve those of you working on the theme in the region.

Also in May next year GRI will be hosting its second international conference in Amsterdam (last time Al Gore was the key note and it attracted over 1000 specialists from around the world)and there are likely to be opportunities for participation and recognition for journalists and photographers – I’ll shortly be able to fill you in with more details but basically we’ll be looking for input and opinions by your community on the content and relevance of sustainability reports currently produced. I’m also trying to organize something photography related to coincide with the conference – I’ll be able to tell you more about it at the beginning of September when everything has been confirmed.

If you want to find out more about GRI and sign up to the official newsletter you can check out the site at http://www.globalreporting.org/Home . Let me know what you think about the site.

Sounds a fascinating place to be based. I’ll sign you up to the group. Let us know what sustainability issues you see as being particularly relevant to the region.

Please count me in as well. I’m currently based in La Paz, Bolivia and working throughout the region…

Also – in case anyone’s interested – here’s a link to a recently published story my wife and I worked on about the grass-roots opposition movement to a proposed hydro-electric dam in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. If constructed, the dam will displace at least 20-25,000 campesinos, and adversely affect some 40-50,000 more downstream:

I’m also a founding associate of Amazonia sustainability project
( www.italia.amazonia.org, www.amazonia.org).

My engagement is daily and not only with the photography, it’s a personal engagement in my life and one the main reason for which I have chosen to became a photographer.

Now i’m doing a new special and really difficult project about climatic changes in the world and i’m trying to do my best to develop this project.

I’ll be in China in september (it’s not my first time in China) for work in this project in Beijing, Shangai and Yunnan Province.

Unfortunately i’m doing a new website (www.lucalocatelli.com), but i can send you some pics if you need.

i’m happy to read your post,
best
Luca.

THanks,
Lorena

In the meantime, please add me to your list of photographers.
