I hope you are all enjoying the lovely summer weather. I have been doing lots of inductions for the Summer schools this week and it is exciting to welcome so many new students and to see those of you who are giving up your summer to learn something else new.
I really like this article from the Guardian, discussing how important is is, not just for Governments to impose an ethical framework or for companies to put up a CSR statement but for those values to be truly embedded in the company thinking and culture. One the topic of ethical behaviour here are two articles from the FT about Facebook's psychological experiments on its users. A UK data regulator is probing Facebook over whether this is acceptable behaviour from the social media network. How do you feel that Facebook might have manipulated you? Well Facebook has promised not to do it again, if you believe them...
On the subject of ethical behaviour, if you end up in charge of big company be careful who you choose to represent you. You never know when they might bite someone as Luis Suarez' sponsors have found out to their cost. Finally a bit for inspiration from the Guardian - this is a list of their top 10 sustainability innovations and it's really fascinating. Maybe you will discover the next or innovatively use these ones.
