Er, our global economy is b:lsedon the comp:lnies oper:lting and producing goods and services th:ltwe consume. So, fu ndamcntally, businesses need to ch:lngc the waythcy operate in order to help :lnd reduce the environmental impactof their operations. I think Illany companies are able to set leadingexamples, to innovate and to find new solutions to the cnvironmentalproblems we have. So, erm, most people in the world \\'ork for:lcompany, so the opportunity for companies to educate and engagetheir employees :'Ind gct thcir cmplo) 'ees inspired :lnd motiv:ltedto do something in thcir own communities or in their workplacewith rcspect to the environment is :l big opportunit) 'th:lt ... thatEarthWatch ccrtainly believes in, and EarthWatch works with manycompanies to try :lnd promote environmental change and promotegood practicc so that those leading companics can then influenceothcr comp:lnies to follow, and also influence government.CD2TRACK 28 (oH = DAVID HILLYARD)DH So, for example, we work with i-ISBC, the global bank, on :l climatepartnership which is in collaboration with other key conservationorg:lnisations such as W\o\fF :lnd thc Smithsonian Institute, andthrough th:lt, we're proViding a lcarning opportunity online for ever)'Single HSBC employce around the world and also setting up fiveclimate-ch:lngc rcscarch centrcs around the world, and 2,000 HSBCemployces ovcr the next fivc ycars will join our field researchers inIndia, in Brazil, in the US, in the UK and in China to carry out datacollection to understand how forests are, are coping with climatechange and what is happening and what, what, how animals andplants :lre being aAcctcd.So that's :l very important programme, :lnd it's :l vcr)' important wayof getting comp:lny cmployees involved in our work, understandingwhat the issues are and then taking that back into their workplaceand bccoming, wc call them climate champions, ambassadors for,for environmellt:ll change, so that they can then influence theircolleagues and also the way that l-ISBC operates as a business.So th:lt's an eX:lmple of:l very important programme for us, erm, anda demonstration of how :l COmp:llly C:ln, erm, can :lnd should make adiAcrence in terms of these issues.CD2T"ACK 29A There have been a number of cases of resume dishonesty in theBABpapers recentl}'.'TI at's right. And unfortunatel} ', it happened to a really good fricnd ofmille.Oh? What happened?\'Vell, she got a re:llly good job - Head ofS:lles at a prestigiouscompany. She was over the moon. Everything was going really well.Shc \\'as getting on with all her salcs staff, she was receiving strongperformance reviews and she was exceeding all her sales t:lrgcts. Shewas gctting a bit of a reputation as a rising star. 11'el1 suddenly, afterfour years in the job, her company fircd her.A Was it hcr CV?B Yeah. She had lied on it. She had claimed she had a !'V laster's degree ­ABABand she h:ld :lIsa made tip a fictitiolls previous employer.Do YOll know wh}' she had done it?Shc said shc h:ld felt desperate because she had been unemployed fora fCh' months.And how did they find out?An HR initiativc. It required employees to show all college transcripts.And they found out she didn't have a Master's degree after :lll. It w:lsn'!'the lack of the degrec that cost her her job. It was her dishonesty. Sincethen, ['ve advised cveryone to be honest on their CV,CD2T"ACK 30A OK, lefs t:llk about Tom. v'll' all kno\\' he's become a re:ll problem.BABABABAAnd we c:ln'! turn a blind eye to what's going on :lny longer. He'ssending in sales reports saying he's met various customers and welind out it's not true. And worst of all, he's putting in expense cl:limswe know to be false. He claims he-s had meals with customcrs,and then wc find oUl they haven't met him for ages. These areserious matters, we can't ignore them. But also he's upsetting theother people in the department. Thcy S:ly he's reall) , rude andun co-operative, :l rC:ll nightm:lre to work with.Ye:lh, the problem is, he's a reall}' good salesman - in fact, he was ourtop s:llesm:ln !:lst YC:lr - but I agree he needs tighter control. He isn'tbehaving professionally and he's not being a good team playcr. Wecan't let it go on.Exactly. But what are we going to do about it? It won't be easy; he's:l really diAlcult char:lcter. Incredibly independent ... he hates rulesand regulations.I'd S:lY there :lre two wa} 's we could deal with this. vVe could have achat with him :lbout his sales reports. Also wc could mention thatwc're checking all expcnse claims very carefully in the fu ture. If wedo that, he m:ly come to his senses and start beluving profeSSionally.Or we could take a strong approach. Tell him if he doesn't change hiswa>'s, we'll be scnding him a w:lrning letter, and th:lt could lead tohim being dismissed. What do yOlL think?Mmm, both those options have advant:lges. But if we just have afriendl), ch:lt with him, he m:ly not t:lkc it seriolLsly.l'o be honest, Idoubt whether he' II ch:lnge much with th:lt :lppro:lch. But if we takea finn approach, there's a risk he may get upset and look for anotherjob. We don't want that either.No, we certainl) , don't want to lose him. OK, let's look at it fromanother angle. I'm wondering ifhe has personal problems and they'reaffecting his work. Wh), don't wc have a friendly talk with him and findout ifthat"s the real problem? He might respond well to that approach.;"Imlll, ma) 'be you-re righL lt might bc the best way to deal withthe problem. One thing's for sure, hc's a brilliant salesman and he'smaking a load of money for us, so we certainly don't want to lose himunless we have to.OK, let's see if we can sort this out. ['11 arrange for Tom to meet us.How about next \'Vednesda) , ? Is that a good time?OK with mc - ['m free th:lt morning.(D2TRACK 31 ([ = INGRID, E = ERNESTO)I Ernesto, I've just had an interesting conversation with our Head ofERese:lrch.
