Bio-based products - Opportunities and ChallengesNNFCC
The document discusses opportunities and challenges for bio-based products derived from renewable biological resources. It notes that while biomass has strengths like carbon capture and reduced fossil fuel usage, developing bio-based products faces hurdles around feedstock processing and competition. Overcoming issues like feedstock supply and demonstrating environmental benefits could help realize opportunities to develop bio-chemical markets and supply chains. However, challenges remain around resource requirements, technological progress, and market development timelines.
This document discusses climate change adaptation strategies for agriculture. It presents three levels of adaptation: 1) adaptive adjustments at the farm level like changing varieties or inputs, 2) structural adaptation through collaborative efforts across supply chains, and 3) transformational adaptation requiring significant changes like migrating or switching livelihoods. The strategy involves diagnosing vulnerabilities, evaluating adaptation options, developing science-based strategies, and building capacity. Approaches include using climate data and agricultural modeling to design adaptation packages and assess their potential transfer. Next steps are further populating an agricultural trial database to understand variety-level adaptation and conduct farmers' participatory evaluations to improve access to knowledge and materials.

The document summarizes a presentation by Newell Hampson-Jones, BSI's Education Sector Representative, on how BSI has worked with education in the past and plans to increase its focus on higher education. BSI previously supported research and projects in K-12 and developed standards education resources. Feedback from universities found standards are difficult to teach and involvement can be costly. To address this, BSI plans to develop standardization lecture materials and simulations to help educators better teach standards and encourage student involvement in the standards development process to strengthen future committees. BSI will also continue supporting standards-related research and working collaboratively with the higher education sector.
The document discusses issues with traditional high school schedules and potential benefits of alternative schedules. It notes that traditional 50-minute periods are too short for meaningful learning and encourage passive teaching. Starting school later in the day would better match adolescent sleep patterns. The bell schedule may disrupt learning as it ends by signaling students rather than content mastery. Alternative block schedules provide longer class periods that allow for deeper engagement but transitioning schedules faces challenges.
The Top Ten Standards that matter to consumers - BSI Consumer & Public Interest Network
What are standards?
Standards are published documents that help to make products and services safe,
effective and efficient. They are written through a formal process involving wide consultation with relevant bodies – including consumer representatives – and come in the form of methods of test, guides, codes of practice, terminologies or specifications.
Standards are not the same as legislation. Their use is voluntary but they can and
often do provide the detail to underpin legislation. Standards also often support certification schemes, such as the well known Kitemark®.
Why standards matter to consumers
Standards matter to consumers because they help to protect them, and to ensure that consumers are given enough information to make informed choices.
Standards raise levels of quality, safety, reliability, interoperability and efficiency.
How consumers play their part in standards
Consumers are important to BSI (which is the National Standards Body) and to the UK Government. Both actively support consumer and public interest involvement in the standards making process to ensure their views are properly taken into account. This function is performed by representatives of the Consumer & Public Interest Network, who are supported by a small team in the Consumer & Public Interest Unit (CPIU) at BSI headquarters in Chiswick, London. This brochure has been prepared by the CPIU.

The document discusses issues with traditional high school schedules and potential benefits of alternative schedules. It notes that traditional 50-minute periods are too short for meaningful learning and encourage passive teaching. Starting school later in the day would better match adolescent sleep patterns. The bell schedule may disrupt learning by causing students to stop focusing before class ends. Alternative block schedules provide longer class periods that allow for deeper engagement and active learning methods.
This document discusses telomeres and telomerase activation. It contains the following key points:
1. Telomeres protect chromosome ends and shorten with each cell division. Short telomeres are associated with aging and disease. Telomerase is an enzyme that lengthens telomeres.
2. A nutraceutical called TA-65 was discovered that activates telomerase. Studies show TA-65 lengthens telomeres, improves health biomarkers, and delays cellular aging in vitro.
3. Hundreds of people have taken TA-65 for up to 3 years with no reported safety issues or increased cancer rates. Independent research has verified telomerase activation and telomere lengthening in

PD25888 provides guidance on business recovery management (BRM) which aims to help organizations recover from damaging incidents through rebuilding and restoration. It is meant to complement existing standards on business continuity management. BRM involves establishing a business recovery management team (RMT) that serves as the strategic decision-making authority during recovery. The RMT structure may include internal and external representatives from key areas. The standard provides examples of issues the RMT may consider like products/services, infrastructure, staffing, and finances. It also stresses the importance of ongoing situation assessments to inform the RMT's strategic decisions around resource redirection, priorities, policies and communications during recovery.
BSI Biometrics Standards Presentation.

The government has challenged public sector procurement professionals as never before to make savings by improving efficiency.
This is not just a matter of encouraging good practice and cutting costs. Ministers want to spend more public money on services
without increasing taxes, creating a strong political imperative to the efficiency drive launched by the 2004 Gershon report.
Officers are under pressure to explore every opportunity to deliver savings without compromising quality. Yet ironically that pressure can lead to waste if they start from scratch in seeking procurement process improvements, or if different parts of large organizations make an uncoordinated approach to markets. Time and resources can be lost ‘reinventing the wheel’ when the work has already been done.
Standardization can help procurement professionals to meet their targets – it allows them to use tried and tested processes to procure products and services that they can be sure will meet their objectives. Standards bring predictability and confidence to procurement, whether an organization uses existing standards or
commissions bespoke ones. They can also help to ensure that procurement meets other policy objectives, such as requirements to foster sustainability or to buy from small businesses.
The government intends the use of better procurement techniques to take root and outlast the present three-year targets – those involved will find standards an invaluable weapon in their efforts to secure continuous improvement.
This document outlines a presentation given by João Baptista Vilhena and Luiz Augusto Costacurta Junqueira on evaluating training programs.

BSI Carbon Neutrality & PAS 2060 Conference & Workshop
CBI Conference Centre, London
- Workshop: Tuesday 18 May 2010
- Conference: Wednesday 19 May 2010
With consumer preferences shifting towards greener products and services, there is a clear need for businesses of all sizes to demonstrate their commitment to carbon neutrality. However, due to a lack of common definition and recognized method of verification, there have been inconsistencies in how the term is used, resulting in a growing cynicism about corporate declarations of carbon neutrality.
BSI’s inaugural Carbon Neutrality Conference will show how a standardized approach can be used to become carbon neutral or develop carbon neutral products and services. There will be a detailed explanation of the new
Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 2060, which lays out the requirements for demonstrating carbon neutrality.
A series of case studies will show how major brands (including Parcelforce, Ben & Jerry’s and Kingsmill) are taking a standardized approach to reducing their carbon output. Dimple Tailor of BSI Conferences believes that attendees will find these case studies particularly useful: 'The prospect of becoming carbon neutral can seem quite daunting, especially among smaller businesses. Hearing success stories from such a wide range of industries will hopefully bolster their resolve and equip them with the ideas to develop their own carbon reduction plans.’
Key speakers include:
> David Kennedy,The Committee on Climate Change
> Ant Wilson,AECOM
> Tirma Garcia-Suarez,Unilever
> Jonathan Shopley,International Carbon Reduction & Offset Alliance (ICROA)
> Jamal Gore,Carbon Clear
Karen Fisher, Senior Consultant atERM, will deliver a pre-conference workshop on Tuesday 18 May. Attendees of the workshop will discover how carbon footprint information can be calculated and communicated effectively using existing standards, such as PAS 2050.

This document provides information about an upcoming two-day conference on carbon neutrality and PAS 2060. The conference will be held on May 18-19, 2010 in London and will include presentations from industry experts on topics such as measuring and reducing carbon emissions, becoming carbon neutral, and the new PAS 2060 specification. Attendees will learn how to apply carbon reduction strategies in their own organizations. The pre-conference workshop on May 18 will focus on carbon footprinting.
Carbon management and rural livelihoods | Elaine Muiricarb
The Plan Vivo Standard provides a framework for voluntary carbon offset projects that work with rural communities to conserve and restore ecosystems while building sustainable livelihoods. It involves participatory planning where communities develop management plans. Projects are monitored and carbon benefits are quantified over time based on the land use activity.

Industrial applications of biomass and processing by products - consortia bui...KTN
The Bioeconomy Cluster Builder (BCB) webinar was an opportunity to share your feedback around possibilities and barriers to success experienced across the bioeconomy community, but also to hear first-hand about our plans to help you address these. We expanded upon the common themes identified in each area of biomass utilisation: issues around poor connectivity across the supply chain; difficulties building projects that bring together appropriate stakeholders including producers, academics, technology providers and customers; and challenges associated with scaling up processes.
The Bioeconomy Cluster Builder (BCB) project is a joint enterprise between KTN, IBioIC, and Scottish Enterprise to introduce biotechnology solutions to new markets and grow the bioeconomy in Scotland. The BCB Project is funded through ERDF. Find out more here: https://www.bioeconomybuilder.com/.

ISO 26000 provides guidance on social responsibility and brings the topic to a wider audience. It establishes a practical ethical baseline for organizations and is grounded in international law and principles like accountability, transparency, and respect for human rights. While not perfect, it legitimizes social responsibility and clarifies concepts like due diligence and sphere of influence. However, concerns remain about its application across diverse cultural and legal contexts.
Standards & Standardization - Making a New Work Proposal
In the following exercise, you are going to simulate a committee meeting at BSI’s Chiswick building and write a new proposal for a standard
This document provides an overview of standards and standardization. It discusses how early civilizations developed basic measurement systems and how standardization became more important during the Industrial Revolution. It describes some key events in the development of formal standardization, including Sir Joseph Whitworth inventing the first nationally standardized system - the Whitworth screw thread - in 1841. The emergence of the rail network in the mid-1800s exacerbated the need for standardization to reduce costs and inefficiencies. This led to the founding of the Engineering Standards Committee in 1901 and the British Standards Institution in 1901, which developed the first British standard and concept of a kitemark.
A presentation on the history and background of standards including: Standards & Standardization – What Are Standards?; Before Standardization; The Birth of Standardization; History of BSI; European Committee for Standardization (CEN); International Organization for Standardization (ISO); Types of Standard; The Standardization Process; The Economic Impact of Standardization; The Impact of Using Standards; Testing and Certification; CE and Kitemark®; Standards & Standardization; How to Get Involved; Standards & Standardization -Making a New Work Proposal; Standards Relevant to Digital Inclusion; Standards & Standardization - Further Reading.
Standards and standardization have existed for thousands of years, becoming more widespread and formalized during the Industrial Revolution. The British Standards Institution (BSI) was founded in 1901 and plays a key role in developing technical standards both nationally through British Standards and internationally through organizations like ISO and CEN. Standards provide economic benefits and can help organizations improve processes, ensure safety and quality, and demonstrate compliance. Individuals and organizations can get involved in standards development in various ways.

This document summarizes a presentation about conducting a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) that meets the requirements of BS 25999-2 certification. It discusses key elements of the BIA process like identifying critical activities, dependencies, and recovery time objectives. It provides tips for certification like ensuring top management support, justifying the BIA methodology, and not overcomplicating the analysis.

This document discusses the Home Delivery Network Logistics (HDNL) operation in the United Kingdom, which delivers 300,000 parcels daily to every postcode in the country. It outlines HDNL's Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) implementation and certification to the BS 25999 standard, including establishing regional stakeholders, conducting risk assessments, developing business continuity plans, tabletop exercises, and audits to achieve certification in October 2009 and February 2010. The document also asks how many miles the HDNL 1 man and 2 man delivery depot operation travels throughout the UK to deliver parcels.
PricewaterhouseCoopers implemented the BS25999 business continuity standard across its multi-site enterprise. It took a simple, concise and consistent approach with a small central team driving standardized documentation across 400+ staff and 800+ sites. Key challenges included balancing administrative requirements with usability, integrating multiple management systems, and raising awareness across a large organization. The implementation provided structure for business continuity planning and improvement, though continual assessment is needed to ensure ongoing success.
