We have five standard opening questions that we put to all companies as we first begin to build their profiles on this site. They are robust questions because they point to management intention about mitigating a company’s climate and environment impacts. The answers – or, to this point, more often non-responses – are revealing.
So, when a business’s managing director proudly steps forward to claim responsibility for its climate change and environmental management policy, it is possible to become hopeful and assume they might know something about the subject.
On its profile, we’ve posted a lightly edited version of the response we received from Bamix distributor Cambur Australia’s managing director, Leigh Jeffs. The full response in a pdf is there too, so you can check the extent of our editing.
In his email, as if by way of an implied threat, Leigh concludes: “We have also forwarded a copy of your original email to David Jones management for their consideration.”
Does he think a public company with a reputation to protect isn’t already using various mechanisms to follow exactly what is being written about it? Does he somehow think Cloud Citizen has something to hide? Leigh, this is the media, it is open and above board, no secrets. What are you thinking?
