Reinventing the Last Mile: Win the Race to the Top (AU)accenture
A pivotal moment has arrived for traditional postal organisations. As retailers race to the top to win customer loyalty and market share, they are transforming their supply chains to enable the fast and free shipping that customers not only want, but expect. However, traditional postal organisations have not responded accordingly, and are now putting their future survival at risk. But by joining the race to the top—and taking advantage of their enviable position to offer the solutions retailers are looking for—they can transform their networks and win the last mile for decades to come.
CDP Global Supply Chain Report 2014: Collaborative Action on Climate RiskSustainable Brands
For the 2014 report, 2868 companies--representing 14% of global industrial emissions--reported carbon data. The findings show that despite 75% of companies identifying current or future risk from climate change, investment in emissions reductions dropped 22% from the previous year and these investments are focusing more on short term returns.
The report revealed that companies that collaborate with supply chain stakeholders are 2x more likely to realize financial return from investments in emissions reductions.
The report also shows the importance of employee engagement. Companies that involve more than 4 functions in supply chain sustainability were 2x more likely to realize emission reductions and 4x more likely to generate monetary savings.

Study Ardian & Fabernovel - The Augmented Infrastructure: Digital for climate?Fabernovel
Foreword:
2020 is tomorrow. Once a synonym for “future”,
this key date is a symbol for new dawn where
the issue of long term value can not be but linked
to digital sobriety and technological responsibility.
At Fabernovel, that is why when working on transformation projects, services design or engineering, we follow a triple approach: entrepreneurial, digital but first and foremost responsible.
I am convinced that this approach can be applied
to infrastructures. Regarding carbon impact issue, beyond mitigation measures and energy recycling,
we need to act upstream by rethinking the way we design services and technology.
Innovation more than ever, has to be thought in a global ecosystem perspective to prevent drifts and limit impact.
Let’s build this inclusive future together.
Stéphane Distinguin, CEO & Co-founder at Fabernovel
As the Coalition Government promises to tear out large sections of the rulebook and relax targets in an attempt to ease the strain on struggling UK businesses, it is tempting to conclude that environmental sustainability initiatives can be put on a backburner. In crisis mode, the country and its commercial entities surely have more pressing concerns?
Keeping the lights on remains one of them and this demands that organisations can continue to balance their books. Evidence has shown that there is a direct correlation between energy efficiency and cost efficiency for a business. As a result, the attention paid to carbon emissions monitoring and management is no longer something that is automatically handed over to corporate social responsibility and marketing teams.
At more astute companies, the discipline is now firmly on the radar of the finance department. If international pledges and government targets around global warming have done anything positive for businesses, it is to encourage them to measure and gain an appreciation for just how much wastage goes on in companies – and how much this is costing them.
The following white paper assesses the current landscape for carbon emission monitoring, exploring not only companies’ regulatory responsibilities for behaving in a more environmentally sustainable way but also how, through systematic, integrated measuring and reporting, they can substantially reduce their internal costs at a time when energy prices and other business costs are escalating at a punishing rate.

The dream of a sustainable energy future is closer
to reality than ever before. Declines in renewable
energy costs, new efficiency strategies, and advanced
technologies such as distributed energy resources
and storage, are giving companies around the globe
an opportunity to embrace a sustainable future
based on a low-carbon, hyper-efficient economy.
For the first time, CDP and Accenture have analyzed this data at the national level to assess the relative climate risk faced by supply chains in 11 key markets, the preparedness of these supply chains to manage these risks and the propensity of suppliers to work with their customers to reduce risk and seize climate opportunities. This year’s supply chain program involved 66 corporations with $1.3 trillion in procurement spend. They requested that their suppliers disclose information on how they are approaching climate and water risks and opportunities, generating the largest ever set of such data, from 3,396 companies worldwide, up from 2,868 in 2013.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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).

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!

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).
