Susan McPherson has always had a foot in the non-profit world. With a number of years in a board position on Business Council for Peace, and working with Fabian Cousteau to help people to understand the importance of the oceans, but at Fenton, she was able to start helping corporations use tools that NGOs normally bring to advance the public good.

Our interview begins by defining Corporate Social Responsibility, discussing how technology companies are adopting CSR missions to both improve the environment and their bottom lines. We discuss B Corporations, how companies best implement CSR plans, and avoiding greenwashing by being authentic in your goals.

Host Tracey Welson-Rossman and I discuss Dr. De Mars’ history in remote working, from when she started by using modems, dial-up and tools like telnet and FTP, and today, with cloud-based services such as Google Apps and Dropbox. A good introduction for those who are not yet using cloud-based tools for their businesses, we discuss some of the unexpected consequences of relying on the cloud, including the fact that it is never a good idea to stop backing up your data!
