ideas and resources for the responsibility advocate

This blog is written by me, Celesa Horvath.

I’m a consultant, with 35 years of experience in impact assessment, regulatory affairs, corporate responsibility, and sustainability.  I’ve been involved in projects across Canada and internationally, including China, the Middle East, and Central America, for clients in the energy, mining, infrastructure, transportation, and government sectors, providing both strategic advice and practical implementation support.  I strive for transformational corporate and organizational engagement wherever possible.

On LinkedIn, I founded and manage the Canadian CSR and SD Practitioners Network, Canadian Impact Assessment Practitioners Network, and the CSR and Social Media group.

I have a B.E.S. in physical geography and geology from the University of Waterloo and a M.Sc. in earth and atmospheric sciences from the University of Alberta.  I wish I’d known earlier that I would never use periglacial geomorphology in my work, except perhaps as a conversation-starter (or ender) at cocktail parties and networking events.

I’m originally from Toronto.  Now I live in Nova Scotia, after almost 30 years’ living in Alberta.  I appreciate high-speed internet. I believe in personal accountability and integrity.  I am an advocate of the Oxford comma.
