Richard was a consultant to the adidas CSR in 2017/2018 where he offered invaluable support to the strategic formation and project execution. He was instrumental in bringing in his team members at Collective Responsibility to offer alternative and external perspective, as well as landing solid project knowledge, both in the community engagement events, as well as the supply chain management initiatives. Richard is a long time veteran of sustainability related issues in China, and I found it very helpful to work with his expertise and background.
Ivanka Mamic, ILO
Richard has assisted the ILO on a couple of occassions in developing and implementing new ideas in the field of CSR that are centered on greater engagement of business and upcoming business leaders. His network in Asia and knowledge of the situation in the region and its impact globally, is impressive. Richard is a pleasure to work with - a thorough professional, who understands how to transform CSR concepts from the abstract to the applied. I would highly recommend Richard and would certainly hope to find continuing ways to partner with him.Ivanka MAmic

“I was very impressed with the dedication of the Collective Responsibility team to and the high quality outcome. The project team was strong and focused, they followed a thorough project management process and with their findings they have managed to help us get a much better picture on the feasibility of a take-back project.
Based on their findings, we are going to run few projects with customers as pilots so the report and results the team delivered are immediately usable in practice and will impact positively our company's direction to continuously find new ways of driving sustainability throughout the value chain.”

Richard cooperated with us on a recent regional management team offsite, linked to our ongoing attachment to CEIBS. His eloquently presented contribution on the demographics fuelling sustainability trends and the resulting commercial opportunities was very well received. Richard perfectly tailored his presentation to our segment driven approach. I look forward to a continued cooperation going forward and highly recommend Richard and his team for their expertise in the sustainability domain!
David Jacobsen, Johns Hopkins
Richard is a fabulous presenter. He guided our sustainability day for the UNC Kenan Flagler Business School Global Immersion and created real engagement for the 200 executive MBA students who came to Shanghai. His work was dynamic and the students were enthralled. They still refer to the comments made in class discussions almost one year later. Thank you Richard.
Lauren Wylie, Oliver Wyman Group
“We invited Richard to speak to employees at our corporate office in New York about CSR & Sustainability in China. We had a great turn-out, and the presentation exceeded my expectations.
Richard did an excellent job of giving us an overview of the wide variety of challenges facing China today. The discussion that followed with audience members from New York as well as some who were visiting from our China offices was excellent, since Richard was able to speak to virtually every topic that came up. His breadth of knowledge is impressive.”

“We would like to thank Richard and his team for supporting our recent workshop with Princess Laurentien from the Netherlands in cooperation at DSM. His professional manner, depth of knowledge, and ability to engage the stakeholders were key to getting participants to commit to the next steps in improving water environment in China together.
Going forward we look forward to working with Collective Responsibility to help guide The Princess with reaching the Chinese public through her character Mr. Finney on the Sohu website.”
