For instance, we just changed our gas &amp; electricity supplier to one professionally sold to us by the grandmother of our daughter\u2019s classmate.<\/p>\n<p>And journalists, like me, hoard connections.

I\u2019ve probably just written yours down while you were reading this.<\/p>\n<p>Really great journalists end up working for major news outlets where their highly informed commentary will influence millions of people.

It\u2019s used to interview Government Ministers, Foreign Ambassadors, Noted Academics and even Trade Union Leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Instead we had a cosy little chat between <a title=\"John Humphrys\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Humphrys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Humphrys<\/a>, anchorman extraordinaire, <a title=\"Peston&#039;s Picks\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20110506201851\/http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/blogs\/thereporters\/robertpeston\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Peston<\/a>, the BBC\u2019s Business Editor, and <a title=\"Nick Robinson&#039;s Newslog\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150525145528\/http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk:80\/blogs\/nickrobinson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nick Robinson<\/a>, the BBC\u2019s Political Editor.<\/p>\n<p>The topic under discussion was the appearance of four former bank executives later in the day before the Parliamentary Treasury Select Committee in what has come to be called \u201cBanker Barbequing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>First there was a discussion about<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>who should control the banks so that they serve the national interest and don&#8217;t just line the pockets of a few rich men<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>as John Humphrys put it.  The general consensus was that it shouldn\u2019t be politicians, so the discussion moved away from who should run banks and towards how they should be run.  John Humphrys asked:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Do present bankers &#8230; understand &#8230; [that there is] this appetite, this insistence that things change fundamentally?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Robert Peston replied:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>They are edging towards such an understanding &#8230;. I was shocked at the World Economic Forum just ten days ago then about just how much denial there was about the place among bankers about just how much of mess they were in.  They were still somehow clutching at this straw that when we got through this crisis it would be back to business as usual, back to the big bonuses, back to the financial engineering.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At which point Nick Robinson chimed in with:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I think what we&#8217;re seeing also is that politics is trying to break free [from] .. Britain&#8217;s huge banking empire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He went on to give examples of how politically influential bankers had become, chairing commissions and running parts of Government.  As they lose this position of power the shape of banking was bound to change.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Peston expanded upon this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You are beginning to see politicians, David Cameron at that World Economic Forum in Davos, the Prime Minister yesterday, grope towards a world which is not so dependent upon the financial sector; Cameron talking about &#8220;moral capitalism&#8221;, Gordon Brown talking in advance of this big G20 meeting in London in April about a new Global World Financial Order<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This story is moving apace as I write.  The idea that banking bonuses should be paid in share options has been floated, forcing top bankers to think in terms of years rather than months when making strategic decisions.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4010 lazyload\" title=\"the-eyes-have-it\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/the-eyes-have-it-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"the-eyes-have-it\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/the-eyes-have-it-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/the-eyes-have-it-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/the-eyes-have-it-456x300.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/the-eyes-have-it.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/198;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>How Deeply Will Sustainable Banks Affect Businesses?<\/h3>\n<p>All of this will have a deep and far reaching impact upon the business sector in the UK and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>When the economy begins to recover companies will look to re-leverage their positions using bank loans.<\/p>\n<p>However instead of producing a business plan which talks in terms of simple financial returns, companies may also have to satisfy criteria about community and environmental impacts as well.<\/p>\n<p>Which leads me to an interesting thought: would banks become the de facto sustainability regulator for UK businesses?  Something tells me the politicians would like it that way as it would take the messy business off their hands!<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?  Are we moving into a post-capitalist world where banks are concerned with more than just their financial returns, or should politicians leave the banking sector well alone?<\/p>\n<p>And if the banks are eventually \u201cCSR\u2019d\u201d, how will this affect the business of business?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Picture Credits<\/strong>: <a title=\"And the question is\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spunter\/575151060\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">And the question is<\/a> (Robert Peston) and <a title=\"The eyes have it\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spunter\/632827889\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The eyes have it<\/a> (Nick Robinson) by <a title=\"Steve Punter's photostream\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spunter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Steve Punter<\/a> from <a title=\"flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Flickr<\/a> under <a title=\"Creative Commons Attribution Licence\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/deed.en_GB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Creative Commons Attribution Licence<\/a>.<br \/>\nI tried to find a usable photo of John Humphrys but very strangely, given his notoriety, there are none!
