Net Impact's Corporate Careers that Make a Difference

Can you make the world more sustainable by working for a
corporation?





According to Net Impact and its free, downloadable career
guide Corporate Careers that Make a Difference, you can.


Everyday, business leaders make a positive environmental
and social impact in their companies — both in dedicated green
jobs, as well as in more conventional job functions.





On this episode of the Idealist Careers Podcast, Idealist’s
Amy Potthast chats with Abby Davisson from Net Impact, a national
nonprofit dedicated to engaging business in making the world
sustainable, and Yonnie Leung, Principal of
Environmental Sustainability for Shared Services at 
Pacific Gas and Electric Company in California — and who is
profiled in the Net Impact career guide.





During the conversation, they also briefly mention Net
Impact's Business as UNusual Guide to MBA programs that have a
focus on corporate citizenship. The 2011 Guide launches this week
and is available at netimpact.org.





You can meet many of the schools mentioned in Business as
Unusual at the Idealist Grad Fairs taking place across the
country, gradfairs.idealist.org.
