From the Insidehave always believed that companiescan be financially successful and still dothe right thing, both environmentally andsocially, and I am not alone at 101. Many ofthe companies at 101 have extensive socialand environmental programs. It was gratifyingto see seven 101 corporations - CreditSuisse, Challenger, Goldman Sachs JBWere,Macquarie Bank, Boston Consulting <strong>Group</strong>,Booz Allen Hamilton Consulting <strong>Group</strong> andFreehills involved in the "Welcome to <strong>my</strong><strong>World</strong>" program. <strong>The</strong>se seven companiesopened their doors to northern suburbsstudents from Mill Park and Hillcrest secondarycolleges.<strong>The</strong> event was part of the EducationFoundation’s City Centre program thatgives the students a chance to learn moreabout Melbourne’s CBD. <strong>The</strong> classroom toboardroom experience was the brainchild ofVictoria Foster from Credit Suisse who hadworked on a similar program in New York.She hoped the students would gain a newperspective on life.Pamela Webb from the Education Foundation,who helped organize the event, said“Something truly moving happened at 101. Iwatched the faces of the kids, as I reflectedon the worlds that they may well go backto, and I marvelled that in this crazy messyworld of ours, the good is alive and well- flourishing even. <strong>The</strong>re was so much effortput into that event, by every companyinvolved. Other staff were likewise moved.Kids genuinely experienced a “welcome to<strong>my</strong> world”.Welcome to<strong>my</strong> <strong>World</strong>Another initiative supported by the 101community is StreetSmart – a great way tohelp the disadvantaged, whilst enjoying diningout in Melbourne. It's such a simple idea,but works – which is often the way. AdamRobinson had the idea but was able to putit into action with the help of ChristopherThorn of Goldman Sachs JBWere, Freehillsand Kirby Design.<strong>The</strong>se examples of social responsibilityshow the depth of engagement with thecommunity by 101 tenants, and are a greatexample of Australian values.Cheers PeterFrom the Editor’s deskfew weeks ago <strong>my</strong> husband and I losta good friend to cervical cancer, so weare very conscious of the research takingplace into women’s cancers.
