We all have been deeply saddened by the passing of Lord (Richard) Holme on 4 May 2008 at age 71. Called “one of the great and the good” in an obituary in the Financial Times, Lord Holme’s involvements and accomplishments in political and business life are far too numerous to list. Chairman of GlobeScan Incorporated for the past five years, Lord Holme was also chancellor of Greenwich University, chairman of the Hansard Society for Parliamentary Government, the British American Project, and the Constitutional Reform Centre, among many other roles. He was particularly active in advancing sustainable development through leadership positions at Rio Tinto plc, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, the International Chamber of Commerce, and LEAD International. - Doug Miller, President GlobeScan, London |
