The document summarizes key findings from a study on collaborative innovation. It finds that while companies are committing resources to innovation, many lack the necessary organizational components to implement innovation effectively. Specifically, leadership needs to do more beyond funding, organizations are not structured for collaboration, cultures do not always foster innovation, and a lack of good measurements hinders improvement. The document advocates that companies develop collaboration both internally and externally, create a culture supportive of diverse ideas, and define success metrics to enhance innovation over time.
This document discusses how new entrants from developing economies are challenging traditional ways of thinking about global competition. It provides examples of companies like Electrolux, Cycleurope, Mars, Haier, Tata, and others that have adopted strategies like acquiring local brands, centralizing production, focusing on emerging markets, and developing more affordable products to become successful global competitors. The writing warns that established firms must rapidly change their mindsets and strategies or risk losing significant market share to these new competitors, as growth is increasingly occurring in less developed markets with customers seeking more affordable options. Change must happen now for companies rather than waiting for some point in the future.

The state of sustainability in the events industryEIBTM
Based on research conducted within the Industry, Jackie will present findings from the UK Centre for Events Management detailing the current adoption, levels of interest and evidence of best practice in sustainability within the Events Industry.
This document outlines a strategy proposed by Ogilvy Sydney to reduce the company's carbon emissions and energy costs through more sustainable IT practices. It notes that while staff express positive attitudes toward the environment, current practices like leaving PCs on overnight lead to unnecessary emissions and expenses. The strategy involves a three-phase "GreenIT" approach: 1) Testing technologies and user behaviors, 2) Major rollout of green IT solutions, and 3) An education program to encourage greener PC usage and make staff aware of their environmental impact. The goals are to reduce each workstation's carbon emissions and energy costs by 50% within the first year of full implementation through empowering staff and finding opportunities in existing IT systems.
This document is PPG Industries' 2008 Corporate Sustainability Report. It provides an overview of PPG, including its business segments, vision, values, and objectives.

The triple bottom line not a zero sum game by cb bhattacharyaESMT Berlin
In his webcast, Professor Bhattacharya will point out that it is not enough nowadays for companies to "do well" (Profit). Companies need to "do good" as well for communities (People) and the environment (Planet). Achieving this triple bottom line (People, Planet, Profit) is not a zero sum game but these linkages and strategies are often underexplored as most companies are largely in the dark when it comes to understanding how their stakeholders think and feel about their Corporate Responsibility (CR) programs. Based on the research in his book, Prof. Bhattacharya suggests that stakeholders' responses to a company's CR initiatives are driven by three levers: Understanding, Usefulness and Unity (the 3U's model). Drawing on empirical research insights, Prof. Bhattacharya points out how companies can maximize the value of their CR initiatives by fostering strong stakeholder relationships to develop, implement, and evaluate compelling social responsibility programs that generate value for both the company and society.

GHG Reporting offers an opprtunity to combine the organisations need to be compliant with creating a beneficial sustainability strategy. What is GHG reporting and what benefits are there from a strategy?
As managing ESG and sustainability issues have become mainstream business practice, there is no doubt in the minds of corporate leaders that ESG/sustainability issues should be a top priority agenda in boardrooms. However, it is still challenging to integrate ESG/sustainability considerations fully into business practices due to the difference between short-term financial goals and longer-term ESG/sustainability performance. Thus, top executives usually give weight to the shorter-term financial metrics when trade-offs between financial and ESG/sustainability performance come into focus. How can companies achieve short-term profits and ESG/sustainability goals at the same time?

Jonas Törnblom, Director Marketing and Communication, Envac GroupNordic Innovation
Envac AB aims to contribute to better urban environments through innovative waste collection systems. Nordic countries can help rapidly urbanizing cities achieve UN sustainability goals through sharing best practices in areas like district heating and renewable energy. Key differences in Nordic governance include independent city finances, flat structures, solution-orientation, and trust between public and private sectors. Examples from Stockholm, like district energy networks using sewage and renewable sources, have inspired many but created little export. To increase exports of Nordic sustainable solutions requires intensified public-private cooperation at home and abroad, better documentation of best practices, communicating solutions in multiple languages, and educating foreign decision makers on the Nordic model.
Rene Lindsay Sommer, Project Manager, City of CopenhagenNordic Innovation
This document discusses Copenhagen's efforts to establish a sustainable city identity through climate adaptation projects in the Skt. Kjelds neighborhood.

The goal is to involve residents in establishing a new identity for the area as the greenest in Copenhagen.
Johan Pitura, Head of Malmö Office, Kjellander & SjöbergNordic Innovation
This document describes a proposed sustainable housing development called NBCC-Sege Park. It includes 10 principles for Nordic built developments focusing on quality of life, sustainability, nature integration, zero emissions, aesthetics, flexibility, local adaptation, collaboration, scalability, and social/environmental benefits. The development would include apartment types, communal spaces, and centers for farming, water, and bikes to support sustainable lifestyles through shared resources and engagement. Modular construction allows for variation and adaptation over time.
The document discusses the use of the "Kid's Tracks" method for involving children and youth in urban planning processes. Kid's Tracks is a mapping exercise where children document how they use their neighborhoods. Their results identify important areas, access issues, and community values. Three municipalities that used Kid's Tracks are highlighted: Ski identified a need for more public spaces in the city center; Giske found poor access to the shoreline and nature; and Bodø recognized non-active areas. Lessons learned are that Kid's Tracks is only a participation tool, it creates a new focus on social values, and involving children makes participation more fun.
