CHIEF VALUES OFFICER

- MY DEFINITION -

In this age of amazing technological advancements, broadband

information overload, anxiety, turmoil, extremes, diversions and

hope, a Chief Values Officer (“CVO”) of an organization is the

guardian of that organization’s values and virtues, its culture, its

spirit, its integrity, its ethical principles and moral foundations, and

promotes adherence thereto. A CVO keeps the engine of an

organization’s life running smoothly with minimal disruption to the

environment and a maximum of character building and social

responsibility. A CVO nurtures relationships and preserves the vital

interests of all stakeholders of the organization within its

immediate sphere of influence. A CVO is charged to keep the

human side of an organization functioning on the course of honest,

wise, responsible, legal and accountable business and

professional practices and in compliance with community

standards and the organization’s or accepted sectorial codes of

conduct.

Media Coverage on Climate Change

“The American networks, they won’t cover it.

It changed a little bit after Superstorm

Sandy, but not much. It’s almost like a

family with an alcoholic father who flies into

a rage at the mention of alcohol or his

problems, and so everybody in the family

learns to keep quiet, don’t mention the

elephant in the room, let’s just don’t ever

say it.”

Former US President Al Gore

“We had disasters related to the climate one after the

other, $110 billion worth of climate-related disaster

damage last year, completely blowing away the

previous record, half the North Polar ice cap melted

last summer, and Superstorm Sandy devastated

Manhattan and New Jersey, and all the while, we had

a presidential campaign with more debates than ever

in history,” he said, his voice rising. “And not one

single reporter asked a single question in any of the

debates of any of the candidates about the climate

crisis. That is pathetic.”
