Craig Irvine
Co founder, The Future Business Council2011 Melbourne Fellowship
The Fellowship Program has helped me infuse sustainability into my role within business an industry, into my work as a political campaigner and into my everyday life.
What is your drive to create positive change?
I am inspired by the common threads that link us across cultures and natural environments, by stories, people, and organisations that create new paradigms through courage, innovation, and ingenuity. I'm driven by what is possible.
What is your vision for the future?
At CSL I've worked on two great projects: one promoting sustainable businesses, and the other helping to develop future leaders. I believe it is possible to blend together the wisdom of nature, tradition, and culture with modern technology and innovation to create a holistic, sustainable future. I want to help drive this paradigm shift.
What has CSL helped you to achieve?
The Fellowship Program has helped me infuse sustainability into my role within business an industry, into my work as a political campaigner and into my everyday life. It has instilled in me a strong sense of leadership and welcomed me into a passionate community that continues to inspire me to rise to future challenges.
