“I want a next generation of responsible leaders to emerge and this is going to be from networks like oikos. People are going to say “Look, we don’t just have to wait for governments, we don’t just have to wait for regulation or leading companies - we are going to go out and take responsibility ourselves, we’ll do it ourselves - and that’s the buzz I got from oikos students.”
