Strategic and Communications Support for Nirex
In February 2005, Nirex documents show that Tibballs had worked with Nirex "for over five years years contributing strategic and communications support". During this time:
- Tibballs appeared at special session organised by Nirex at the BA Festival of Science in 2002 along with David Wild, Anna Littelboy, John Matheison from Nirex, where the participants prescribed "oppenness and transparency" for Nirex. [2]
- Appeared at the 9th International Conference on Environmental Remediation and
Radioactive Waste Management with John Dalton and David Wild from Nirex talking about Corporate Social Responsibility and Nirex. The Future Foundation had been employed by Nirex to examine the issues surrounding CSR.
"In recent years, Nirex has been engaged in a fundamental review of its values, objectives and behaviours. The significant shift to emerge from this review has been a commitment to being a responsible organisation ... The challenge Nirex faces, however, is to understand what relevance and implications the CSR debate has for its work, and its wider commitment to responsibility ...In order to help answer these questions, and to develop a clear position and strategy, Nirex asked the Future Foundation to help facilitate input from consultants and other practitioners who have relevant experience".
