Environmental Publishing Foundation
The document outlines seven building blocks for wise environmental publishing: 1) knowing key issues around forests, climate change, energy use, waste, and social impacts; 2) recognizing business challenges; 3) developing internal and external teams; 4) creating a vision, policy, and goals; 5) determining priorities; 6) implementing and improving strategies; and 7) marketing achievements to readers, advertisers, and partners. The overall message is that paper production has large environmental impacts that publishers can help address through informed policies and cross-departmental cooperation.
logistics and supply chain management
1) The document discusses best practices for creating a more sustainable supply chain. It analyzes case studies of three multinational corporations considered sustainability leaders in different industries.
2) It finds that while these companies aim to create sustainable practices throughout their supply networks, in reality sustainability issues are common among lower-tier suppliers. Lower-tier suppliers often lack resources and awareness of standards.
3) The document outlines approaches these companies take to promote sustainability, including establishing long-term goals, direct engagement with first-tier suppliers, industry collaboration, and working with international organizations. It argues that collaboration makes sustainability initiatives more feasible.
Thriving in the Circular Economy: Product Design and Business Practices for “...
With current and upcoming resource constraints, plus society's growing disapproval of "disposable" products, it's time to design and offer products to leverage existing resources and keep them in the economy after use. This webinar will walk participants along the path from the make-and-waste Linear Economy to the use-and-reuse Circular Economy.
The Circular Economy sounds good financially and environmentally, but how does one actually transform an industry from the Linear to the Circular Economy? This presentation (given by Pamela Gordon as part of the NAEM 2017 webinar series) will provide specific ways of implementing Circular Economy design and business practices at manufacturing companies, with examples from the tech industry that will inspire all industries.
Asae Online Summit Cooperrider Slides
1. The document discusses how associations can leverage their unique strengths to create sustainable value and drive innovation in their industries through large-scale collaborations and Appreciative Inquiry summits.
2. It provides the example of a dairy industry sustainability summit that engaged 250 stakeholders to generate initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase business value across the dairy supply chain.
3. Three essential success factors for associations to create sustainable value are avoiding the temptation to just "do good" and instead focus on opportunities to create sustainable value, embracing and playing to their strengths in convening, accelerating innovation, and scaling solutions, and recognizing that sustainability is a major business opportunity and management trend for the 21st century.
F jwt the-circular-economy.06.20.14
The document discusses the concept of a circular economy, which aims to design out waste and keep resources in use for as long as possible through strategies like reuse, repair, and recycling. It provides definitions and principles of a circular economy, compares it to the traditional linear economy, and outlines some benefits like cost savings and job creation. It also discusses trends driving greater adoption of circular practices, like resource constraints, rising commodity costs, new technologies, urbanization, and changing consumer attitudes. The document then gives examples of how various brands in different industries are implementing more circular business models and practices.
Fmi final fresh cat man webinar[1]
This document provides an overview and guidance on sustainable sourcing for category managers in the food retail sector. It discusses key sustainability issues like carbon footprint, water footprint, and waste footprint for fresh products. It outlines a stepwise approach for category managers to incorporate sustainability into their sourcing decisions, including understanding their company and customer priorities, communicating needs to suppliers, acquiring product sustainability information, and evaluating claims. The presentation warns against "greenwashing" and provides questions to ask suppliers for verification. The goal is to equip category managers to make well-informed purchasing decisions that consider both business and sustainability factors.

For the following question(s): A school counselor tests the level of depression in fourth graders in a particular class of 20 students. The counselor wants to know whether the kind of students in this class differs from that of fourth graders in general at her school. On the test, a score of 10 indicates severe depression, while a score of 0 indicates no depression. From reports, she is able to find out about past testing. Fourth graders at her school usually score 5 on the scale, but the variation is not known. Her sample of 20 fifth graders has a mean depression score of 4.4. Use the .01 level of significance.
1.
The counselor calculates the unbiased estimate of the population’s variance to be 15. What is the variance of the distribution of means?
A)
15/20 = 0.75
B)
15/19 = 0.79
C)
15
2
/20 = 11.25
D)
15
2
/19 = 11.84
2.
Suppose the counselor tested the null hypothesis that fourth graders in this class were
less
depressed than those at the school generally. She figures her
t
score to be
-
.20. What decision should she make regarding the null hypothesis?
A)
Reject it
B)
Fail to reject it
C)
Postpone any decisions until a more conclusive study could be conducted
D)
There is not enough information given to make a decision
3.
Suppose the standard deviation she figures (the square root of the unbiased estimate of the population variance) is .85. What is the effect size?
A)
5/.85 = 5.88
B)
.85/5 = .17
C)
(5
-
4.4)/.85 = .71
D)
.85/(5

4.4) = 1.42
For the following question(s): Professor Juarez thinks the students in her statistics class this term are more creative than most students at this university. A previous study found that students at this university had a mean score of 35 on a standard creativity test. Professor Juarez finds that her class scores an average of 40 on this scale, with an estimated population standard deviation of 7. The standard deviation of the distribution of means comes out to 1.63.
4.
What is the
t
score?
A)
(40

35)/7 = .71
B)
(40

6.
If Professor Juarez had 30 students in her class, and she wanted to test her hypothesis using the 5% level of significance, what cutoff

score would she use? (You should be able to figure this out without a table because only one answer is in the correct region.)

Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
