#EoF - 22/07/2020 On-life seminar with Robert Bilott and John Mundell

Prophetic Economy

Castelgandolfo (Roma): 2 - 4 noviembre 2018

#ProfeticEconomy es mucho más que un evento de tres días. Es un camino emprendido conjuntamente con otras asociaciones y movimientos que tratan de dar respuesta al clamor de la tierra y de los pobres. Nuestro mundo se enfrenta a una crisis ecológica y social. El cambio climático y el aumento de las desigualdades están directamente relacionados con estructuras económicas injustas, políticas miopes y prácticas obsoletas de ayuda internacional.

Muchas personas en todo el mundo creen apasionadamente en el desarrollo humano y en la sostenibilidad, trabajan incansablemente para cambiar las reglas de juego y piden justicia. Ha llegado la hora de movernos juntos para ser más que la suma de nuestras partes.

#ProfeticEconomy será una experiencia y el comienzo de un proceso: Nuestra intención es estimular la inventiva, el diálogo y la creatividad en la búsqueda de soluciones sostenibles y colectivas a los problemas sociales y medioambientales de nuestro tiempo, con especial atención a los más pobres.

#EoF - 22/07/2020 On-life seminar with Robert Bilott and John Mundell

Robert Bilott and John Mundell presenting: “Dark Waters: business and environmental responsibility”

Wednesday. July 22, 2020, 04:00 P.M. - 05:15 P.M. (UTC+2)

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.
