The document summarizes key findings from the 2010 ImagePower® Green Brands Survey, which analyzed consumer perceptions of green products and brands across 8 countries. Some of the main findings include:
- Over 60% of consumers in all countries surveyed want to buy from environmentally responsible companies.
- Consumers' top environmental concerns vary by country, with issues like climate change, water management, and deforestation viewed as most important.
- Many consumers, especially in developing economies like China, India, and Brazil, plan to spend more on green products in the coming year.
- Perceived challenges to buying green products differ between developed and developing markets. Cost is a key hurdle in developed countries while limited selection
2010 ImagePower Green Brands Survey - Annie LongsworthSustainable Brands
This annual global research study explores specific behaviors and attitudes that are driving (or preventing) the purchase of sustainable products, as well as the latest public perception about which brands are the best at being green. Listen to Annie Longsworth discuss the findings of this month-long survey of over 9,000 interviews in 8 developed and developing countries. Conducted by Cohn & Wolfe, Landor, Penn Schoen Berland, and Etsy Environmental Partners.
In the first installment of a three part series titled "Conscious Consumption", Invoke Solutions digs deeper into the ultimate purchasing choices driven by consumers attitudes and behaviors in relation to terms such as "organic", "local" and "natural.
Some of the key finding from this study are:
-Local offers a three-fold message and is regarded with the highest amount of positivity from consumers.
-While respondents aren't necessarily searching for the information, all three claims influence the purchasers decision for brand loyalty.
-The term "Green" is not the only way to communicate "good for the environment".

This project tells about the customer of our market how they will buy green products and how they will make decision while purchasing a green product. Eco-friendly good are more welcomed by customers who are environmentally responsible. It tells what factor are affecting green behavior and decision making of customers. The basic objective of this project is how consumer will make its green purchase decision and behavior toward green products. By the analysis of asking questions to businessmen, jobholder and students found that there is strong positive relationship between consumer green behavior and price, quality and green marketing while brand and gender difference has very weak relationship with consumer green behavior. These results will be helping for the managerial implications. Industries can use this for future strategies and get know how about the customer intention to buy green products. And it will also tell that what is more important near to customer about green products.
The growing social and regulatory concerns for the environment lead an increasing number of companies to consider green issues as a major source of strategic change, in general and has complex implications on the technological strategy of a company and on its product innovations, in particular.
The market for green household cleaning products in the U.S grew at a blistering pace between 2007 and 2010, cooled off, and actually declined from 2010 to 2014 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2%. Packaged Facts estimates total retail sales, including both household cleaners and laundry products, at $600 million in 2014. The green market remains a niche, accounting for about 3% of the total household cleaner and laundry product market.

2011 Image Power Top Green Brands Survey India: Segmentation by PSBResearchpsbsrch123
The 2011 ImagePower Green Brands Survey tells us that greenness remains a major issue for consumers around the world, and that they expect green practices from the companies they do business with. There are huge opportunities in the Indian market for companies that establish their image with their green credentials early.
In the last decades the uncontrolled impact of industrial activities on the natural
environment has created critical ecological concerns. The aggravation of phenomena like
climate change, ozone depletion, over exploitation of natural resources, air pollution, and
toxic wastes are harming the sustainable development of the planet and of the economic
system. For marketers, environmentalism has become a criterion influencing customer
purchase behaviour. Environmentally responsible consumption Follows & Jobber (2000)
emanated from criticism that the marketing concept ignored the impact of individual
consumption upon the society as a whole. Terms like green marketing and green
customer have evolved and a lot of work is being done to understand the awareness levels
of the customer, their attitudes towards the green products and their willingness to accept
and pay a premium for the green products.
Every year people living on the earth throw away enough garbage to cover a huge part of
the world. Most of the waste ends up in landfills which are very costly and which may
have a major impact on the environment and on the health of the people living on this
planet. Saving the environment has become a big issue in recent times. The messages are
being promoted as REDUCE, RE-USE and RECYCLE. The latest is that we can shop our
way to a healthier planet. Over the years, it is told to us that cool cars would make us free
and diet soda would make us popular. But there is some things money and advertising
can’t buy, and a clean environment is one of them. The hard fact is that global warming,
deforestation and other earthly ills cannot be solved by switching brands. It takes
resources to manufacture and transport all products, even those made from recycled
content. More often, it is greener to follow the old dictum: reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Even if the phrase 3Rs has been heard a thousand times before, but with the "green" word
now co-opted in the sales of services, the three R's are a phrase and a principle worth
reviving.
This study focuses on consumers and consumer behaviour in relation to environmental
friendly products. It starts from the assumption that environmental problems are closely
related to individual consumer behaviour, and that individual behaviour is one of the
major causes for the existing environmental problems. Without substantial changes, in
the long term these consumption practices present a serious threat to the environment and
to society as a whole.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
