LRQA Business Assurance “Trust and Transparency” Podcast Series
27th May 2009 by Alex Briggs
The What Assures Consumers in an Economic Downturn report was commissioned by AccountAbility, sponsored by the Co-operative, supported by LRQA, with the online research being conducted by YouGov. www.businessassurance.com attended the April 23rd launch event and we conducted interviews with some of the key participants and panellists, including Harriet Lamb, CEO of The Fairtrade Foundation, Alan Knight and Kate Ives of AccountAbility (Kate was the co-author of the report), Helen McTaggart of the Co-operative, Sandy Sutherland of LRQA and Solitaire Townsend of Futerra Communications. Those interviews, combined with the presentations and the Q and A that followed the launch event, are now the basis of an upcoming 10 part audio and video podcast series. The series, “Trust and Transparency” will see one episodes uploaded over a 3 month period this summer.
