Thinking Out Loud: VP of Sustainability and Public Relations?

I've seen this now in more than one company - one executive responsible for both Sustainability AND Public Relations.  One of the companies is a Fortune 100 company. 

Frankly, I don't get it.  I'm sure it's possible to make this work.  But isn't it oxymoronic that just having the two roles combined reeks of greenwashing - and thus bad PR?!

  1. In general, I think your observation is correct Randy. Unless they've created the PR position to tout the green efforts, which are possibly new. Still, I think your instinct is correct. It sort of smells.

    Thanks for your comment on one of my older blog posts. Just saw it today. Please send me your email to ecofma@gmail.com. Thanks again.
