The Good Governance Institute: Public Good Podcast - Integrity
The Public Good, a podcast hosted by Jaco Marais on behalf of the Good Governance Institute, puts you at the heart of conversations about how organisations should be led and run, and create value for society.
In this episode, Jaco explores integrity and its implication with Jane Davidson (Author of #futuregen) and Prof. Andrew Corbett-Nolan (CEO, GGI).
According to the Nolan Principles, integrity means: "Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships."What are the consequences of people failing to act with integrity? What is personal integrity? What about systematic integrity – how do we design systems with integrity? Listen in to find out!

Techonomy: Seeds of Sustainability in Wales. And Around the World?
“In 1861, a group of Welsh nationalists gathered in Engedi, a chapel in Caernarfon, on the coast of northwest Wales, to plan a Welsh colony in far-off Patagonia. At the time, in the midst of the Industrial Revolution, many Welsh rankled at the rule of England, the oppressiveness of mining and other industries, and the loss of their culture and identity. The confederates who met in Engedi hoped to regenerate Welsh culture by leaving Wales. In 1865, they succeeded in establishing Y Wladfa, and, today, several thousand people still speak Welsh on the east coast of Argentina.” Read more on Techonomy

In this episode of the SDG podcast series, Sustainability Board member, Shyam Gharial speaks to Jane Davidson, a former Welsh Assembly member in government between 1999 and 2011. As Minister for the Environment, Sustainability & Housing, Jane proposed legislation to make sustainable development the central organising principle for the government in Wales through what became known as the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act, which passed into law in 2015.
