One of the grand challenges of our society is related to environmental issues caused by corporations. One of the biggest scandals in the US has been referred to the chemical manufacturing corporation DuPont that damaged the environment and life of animals and people with unregulated chemicals in West Virginia in 1999. To fight this, Mr. Robert Bilott (a famous corporate defense lawyer at Taft Stettinius & Hollister) started a large collective-action lawsuit for preserving the health of people which is actually a common good. This interesting story also inspired an important recent movie called “Dark Waters” starred by Mark Ruffalo and Anne Hathaway on the experience of Bilott against DuPont.
This on-life webinar aims to present the interesting story of Robert Bilott and discuss the role of businesses toward a sustainable environment who is for everyone, and not against the common good of people. In this way, corporations have a great responsibility and some of them are navigating these dark waters by having a transition to environmental sustainability.
We are honored to discuss this important topic with Mr. Robert Bilott and Mr. John Mundell (President at Mundell Associates) who is involved in environmental consulting, and with some youths from Economy of Francesco.
Join the seminar by going to the official channel of The Economy of Francesco.

“Let’s not simply limit ourselves to lamenting the premature death of Olivetti and to think that his business model of creating community-factories has died with him, let’s instead go out and search for the many “Olivettis” in the world today, who each day, painstakingly, continue to translate that dream into reality”

Telling about the Spiga Dorata means telling the story of a great desire to spend money on the poorest turned into a wonderful entrepreneurial folly. A project that over time has generated so much and reached so many important numbers, standing up to the challenge of the obstacles and threats of a place as hostile as the peripheral metropolitan areas in Brazil, also succeeding in holding back violence with a welcoming openness to the other and a deep sense of service.
