Taking Environmentalism to the Boardroom
Addition of Ken Ogilvie to Deloitte team demonstrates how environmentalists and business leaders can effectively work together for common goal
(CSRwire) TORONTO,CANADA, - May 26, 2008 - Deloitte is proud to welcome Ken Ogilvie,
former Executive Director of Pollution Probe, as a senior advisor in its
leading-edge Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability practice.
Ken brings 30 years of experience in the public, institutional and
not-for-profit sectors to Deloitte, where he will work with other
experienced professionals to continue to help corporate Canada better
understand, plan and manage sustainability, corporate responsibility and
climate change issues.
Companies truly committed to building sustainable corporate responsibility
strategies realize the business value of extracting and combining the
knowledge of various backgrounds - from environmental science and
engineering to business and accounting - and have been looking to Deloitte
to help them for years.
"Proof of Deloitte"s leadership in this area is our firm's ability to
attract eminent individuals like Ken to support our efforts and help our
clients,' says Valerie Chort, partner and national leader of Deloitte's
Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability practice. Last spring, Deloitte
welcomed Johanne Gelinas, former federal Commissioner of the Environment
and Sustainable Development.
"Deloitte is committed to helping Canadian organizations take a proactive
approach to managing sustainability and climate change issues," comments
Ken Ogilvie. "They are clearly a step ahead with their ability to bring
together traditional environmentalists and corporate Canada to work
together and strive for a common goal."
