From whistleblower mishandling in Australia to widespread exam cheating in the Netherlands and the catastrophic audit failure of Evergrande in China, these events have demonstrated that traditional, self-regulatory models are no longer sufficient to govern these multinational giants.

We are delighted to share that CMA member Jehan Ratnatunga—son of our CEO, Prof. Janek Ratnatunga—and his co-founders Simon Griffiths and Danny Alexander have been featured in Forbes for the incredible journey of their social enterprise, Who Gives A Crap. What started 14 years ago as a 50-hour toilet-sitting stunt has evolved into a global brand that just crossed a massive milestone: donating $20 million (AUD) to water, sanitation, and hygiene projects around the world.

We extend our warmest congratulations to Jehan, Danny, and Simon (who was also inducted into our inaugural Social Purpose Innovator Hall of Fame in 2022) on this fantastic recognition by Forbes. 👏
