Mark Carney's Hypocrisy.

Back in 2014 I wrote, in this post, about Mark Carney's call for more ethics in business. Since then he has left his role as head of the Bank of England, and is now UN Climate envoy.

Now, as reported by the BBC, it has emerged that his firm sold farms in Brazil linked to deforestation claims. Not only does this go against his urging for more ethics in business, but is completely at odds with his role as UN Climate Envoy.

Time to stop just talking about business ethics, and actually act ethically, Mr. Carney.
