Portela, an elite samba group in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil suffered a fire last month that destroyed over 8,000 costumes and floats they were preparing for the 2011 Carnival parade. During the parade on Sunday, Portela made a dramatic entrance where the percussion section paused in a moment of silence for their losses from the fire. Despite the setback from the fire, the 2011 Carnival went on as planned and showed the festival's ability to bring hope and happiness to those with little. The fire also strengthened the fierce allegiance that fans have for their samba groups in Rio, similar to how devoted they are to their soccer teams.

Impact Investing and its Future Impact on Business PrioritiesSustainable Brands
The document discusses impact investing and how it seeks both financial returns and positive social or environmental impacts. It shows that impact investing is growing in Europe and the US, with trillions invested across different asset classes and investor types, including individuals, foundations, pensions, and endowments. While opportunities exist in sustainability-focused portfolios, integrating environmental, social and governance factors into each asset class is still developing. Impact investments can benefit portfolios according to Harvard professors. The "HIP" model illustrates combining human impact and profits. Impact and performance reporting tools, like heat maps and efficient frontiers, help analyze impact versus returns across asset classes.

This document summarizes O2's experience with eco-labeling and certification for mobile phones. It discusses:
1) Why O2 developed an Eco Rating system for mobile phones, which rates devices on a 0-5 scale based on corporate and device sustainability. Consumer research found sustainability would influence 44% of buyers.
2) The positive reaction to the Eco Rating from consumers, suppliers, stakeholders, and media. It provides a simple, clear picture of environmental impact.
3) O2's plans to expand the Eco Rating system within its parent company Telefonica and work with other telecom companies to develop a global sustainability standard for devices. O2 also released sustainability goals for 2015 through its Think Big

This document discusses chemical footprinting, which refers to assessing the embedded chemical risks associated with a product throughout its lifecycle, including manufacturing, service life, and end of life. It defines chemical footprinting and explains how understanding chemical risks can help brands avoid recalls and supply chain disruptions. The document also describes a three-tiered methodology for chemical footprinting and provides a case study examining potential health risks from tire wear particles released into the environment during a tire's service life. It concludes by discussing opportunities to get ahead of emerging trends around sustainable products and chemical exposure expectations.

1. Sustainability can provide significant business benefits like revenue generation, cost savings, risk management, and long-term value creation, but many companies fail to quantify and realize its full financial value.
2. CFOs and the finance function are well-positioned to structure SPM and link sustainability metrics explicitly to business performance in order to maximize value. They can treat sustainability as a strategic issue.
3. Applying a robust SPM framework with well-defined and consistent metrics can help companies measure meaningful outcomes and the value sustainability creates. This allows sustainability to be
Traditional measures of return on investment (ROI) for corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs focus only on financial metrics like revenue and costs. However, CSR can provide broader business benefits through risk management, employee engagement, brand equity, and attracting investors. An "embedded approach" to CSR that aligns vision and resources throughout a company can lead to unexpected positive outcomes beyond explicit plans or analyses.
