I would like to think EY were really behind this thinking but my concern is that this is making them look good without actually providing a way for businesses to move to less extractive practices that doesn't put them at a competitive disadvantage.

It is certainly a step forward for such an organisation even to be talking about this let alone stating the situation is such bald terms. I hope I'm wrong and this is a genuine attempt to steer practice to more sustainable pathways. It will be interesting to know what effect this report has on political debate and whether any companies declare their intention to make the move.

Thanks for highlighting this development as it I am pretty sure it won't be making the evening news!

I know one of the authors of the report, talked to her a few months ago about this report and other things they are working on. They have support within EY to do stuff like this, and their mission is to highlight these issues. I support them and hope others do the same. That’s why I asked people to thank them and make a public show of doing so if possible. EY was first, but I would hope that the other big consultancies start doing this because they see the writing on the wall.
