BrownFlynn Hires Director To Lead New Division, BrownFlynn Learning
|
Cleveland, OH - BrownFlynn, a corporate responsibility and sustainability consulting firm, has hired Beth Meany as its Director of BrownFlynn Learning, the firm's new division focused on sustainability education and training. "Expanding BrownFlynn's services to include a division focused on sustainability education fulfils a critical need in the marketplace. Corporations want to further understand what sustainability can mean for their business and how sustainability can reduce costs and increase profitability, especially in this tough economic environment," says Barb Brown, Principal and Co-owner of BrownFlynn. Beth Meany joins BrownFlynn with a rich corporate and academic background. She holds an MBA, a CPA and is a Certified Sustainability Assurance Planner. Meany has extensive leadership experience, and has worked in Dallas, Washington D.C., New York, and Boston for companies such as Coopers and Lybrand and Kraft Foods. Most recently, she taught corporate finance at The Hotelschool DenHaag College in the Netherlands. As a native of Cleveland, Meany and her family returned to the States in 2008 where she sought opportunities to apply her passion for sustainability. "I researched hundreds of organizations in the United States and found BrownFlynn to be one of the only organizations dedicated to sustainability and corporate social responsibility consulting," explains Meany. As the head of BrownFlynn Learning, Meany will lead the development and deployment of sustainability courses. BrownFlynn Learning's signature training course, The GRI Process, which seeks to educate organizations on the Global Reporting Initiative's (GRI) environmental, social and economic indicators, will launch this summer. BrownFlynn is the first U.S.-based certified GRI training partner. For more information about Beth Meany, BrownFlynn Learning, The GRI Process or our first training sessions, please email BrownFlynnLearning@brownflynn.com, check out BrownFlynn's dogood.dowell.WINNER blog, or visit brownflynn.com.

Colleen Hanlon 28 July 2009 I am a firm advocate of having companies consider sustainability as an omnipresent aspect to running a business and not merely an afterthought. For example, while I think it is necessary in some situations for companies to utilize offsets, I think BF and its clients would benefit from approaching sustainability education from a more holistic standpoint which includes (1) production, marketing, distribution, etc., (2) how these effect all of a company's stakeholders, and (3) how they can be improved to be more socially and environmentally friendly while sustaining or increasing revenue. Be sure to use Justmeans' Event Connector to advertise these exciting webinars, conferences, workshops, etc. And, please keep tweeting as you continue to brainstorm your sustainability education and training initiatives!
