This document discusses sustainable development initiatives in Coventry schools. It notes that in 2008, £3,020,347 was spent on energy bills in Coventry schools, totaling 59,850 tonnes of CO2 emissions. It then outlines various partnerships and programs to promote sustainability in schools, including Eco-Schools, energy saving campaigns, and curriculum integration. Goals include registering all 112 schools as Eco-Schools by 2011 and achieving a 10% energy reduction per school. Opportunities for corporate social responsibility partnerships are mentioned to help schools become more sustainable through volunteers, donations, sponsorship, and outreach.
The document discusses corporate social responsibility (CSR) and competitive advantage. It examines whether CSR can provide competitive advantages for companies by analyzing the performance of leaders and laggards in CSR rankings. It also discusses social entrepreneurship and how the boundaries between for-profit, public and non-profit organizations are blurring when it comes to CSR.
The document outlines a CSR campaign by Coca Cola at two music events to optimize its brand image among young adults. It involved introducing Coca Cola PlantBottles made partly from plants and creating awareness about recycling through mobile hand-in points staffed by promoters and DJs. On-site activation also included bartenders wearing "Keep Happiness Going Recycle" shirts and creating illuminated art from collected bottles. The results saw over 145,000 items recycled at Mysteryland for a 25% rate and over 70,000 at WTTF for a 50% rate.
Proctor & Gamble has a corporate social responsibility philosophy that focuses on sustainability, treating employees and suppliers fairly, and improving lives through initiatives like education and disaster relief programs. They aim to meet environmental goals by 2020, including ending deforestation and using 100% renewable energy. While some issues have arisen, P&G has had successes through diversity programs, ethics practices, and global community contributions.
CSR is an increasingly important topic for business students. This revision presentation explains the basic theory behind CSR and outlines the main arguments for and against implementing CSR. Various case studies are also provided together with links to further research.
This document discusses the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) for retailers and their suppliers. It outlines four CSR archetypes that retailers can fall into - leaders, learners, observers, and non-believers - and how their needs and requirements differ. For suppliers, the key is to understand the customer's CSR strategy and priorities, and demonstrate how sustainability initiatives provide value to consumers, categories, and brands. Suppliers should tailor their messaging and focus on innovation, partnerships, or risk reduction depending on the retailer's archetype. The overall message is that CSR should be an ongoing conversation, not just about compliance or price, but about category leadership and consumer value.

Advancing Waterproofing Expertise with AIW
Waterproofing Melbourne and beyond, the Australian Institute of Waterproofing (AIW) is proud to introduce an innovative commercial waterproofing course. Developed in collaboration with the Master Builders Association Vic, this course, led by Andrew Golle, is tailored for project managers overseeing balcony waterproofing, roof waterproofing, and concrete repair. Paul Evans emphasizes the critical nature of these roles in preventing costly post-construction issues. Private sessions for building supervisors are now available, addressing common mistakes due to poor applications and cost-cutting measures.
The course covers essential topics, including product selection, surface preparation, and the importance of basement waterproofing. Paul Evans highlights the recurring problems seen in the industry, where inadequate training and oversight lead to significant issues, from retaining wall waterproofing to lift pit waterproofing.
In response to these challenges, the AIW is developing a "Below Ground Waterproofing Standard" specific to Australia, inspired by UK standards. Paul Evans calls for industry-wide collaboration to ensure the standard encompasses diverse methods and materials, ultimately enhancing the quality and longevity of waterproofing work.
By equipping supervisors and builders with the right knowledge, AIW aims to improve the overall standard of waterproofing practices, reducing the risk of failures and the subsequent mental and financial stress on homeowners. This proactive approach is crucial for the sustainability and reliability of waterproofing in construction projects across Australia.

The AIW Delivers on the Importance of Waterproofing
On March 29, 2017, the AIW attended and presented at the ADEB (Architects Designers Engineers Builders) Waterproofing Breakfast Seminar in Sydney. The focus was on addressing commercial waterproofing and residential high-rise waterproofing failures and solutions.
Presentations and Key Points
Paul Evans, AIW President, gave an overview of the AIW's role in raising waterproofing standards in Australia. Robert McDonald, an AIW member, delivered a session on the “Australian Standards in Waterproofing.” These presentations covered:
Common defects in internal and external waterproofing
Priming and substrate moisture content
Inspection and testing of waterproofing
Drainage and waterproofing techniques
Product knowledge and standards compliance, including:
CA 55 - 1970 (Design and Installation of Bituminous Fabric Roofing)
AS 3740 (Waterproofing Wet Areas in Residential Buildings)
AS 4858 - 2004 (Wet Area Membranes)
AS 4654 - 2012 (Waterproofing Membrane)
The AIW remains dedicated to updating, providing current information, and educational resources for all industries involved with waterproofing.
Achieving Uniform Waterproofing Compliance Nationally
Achieving uniform waterproofing compliance across Australia involves collaboration with State and Territory Regulatory Authorities, which play a crucial role. Current licensing requirements are often disjointed, and in many states, not mandatory.
Local authorities and building surveyors request Waterproofing Application Certificates to certify compliance with BCA and Australian Standards. These certificates must be issued by a competent person, whose work falls under the scope of their license or who has formal qualifications to carry out the work. Training and qualifications are regulated under the National Qualifications Framework.

Comprehensive Guide to Balcony Waterproofing Repairs
Addressing Leaking Balconies, Roofs, and Rooftop Terraces
Leaking balconies, roofs, and rooftop terraces can cause catastrophic damage to structures below. Water leaks may cause not only aesthetic and superficial damage but can also compromise the structural integrity of the building envelope. If a failed waterproofing membrane is the cause, re-grouting or surface sealing is merely a temporary fix. Such band-aid methods will eventually fail, causing cracks in tiles, grout, and membranes as the balcony moves.
In many cases, failed membranes require a complete strip-off, structural repairs if needed, reinstallation of waterproofing, and a new finish surface. Key considerations in this process include the strength of the subfloor and screed, presence of substrate dips and hollows, correct balcony slope and fall, window and door frame installation, door threshold sealing, adequate drainage, and the potential for underlying pipe leaks. Existing tiling and expansion joints should also be assessed to determine their role in the balcony failure.
Waterproofing Preparation
Proper preparation is critical for any waterproofing membrane installation. The substrate must be clean, free of dirt and other contaminants. This involves vacuum cleaning and/or diamond grinding to ensure a smooth, dry, and debris-free surface. In some cases, washing the substrate may be necessary.
Waterproofing Detailing
Before installing a waterproofing system, construction features that interrupt the membrane layer must be adequately protected and sealed. This includes:
Perimeter Upturns: Attachment points for railings and balustrades, joints between horizontal and vertical surfaces, and structural and expansion joints. Sealant should be applied 15mm wide to all junctions, reinforced with polyester or fiberglass mat to a DFT of 1.2mm, 100mm above finished floor height, or 25mm above the water line. The membrane system should be installed 200mm onto balcony floor areas.
Door/Window Step Downs: Similar to perimeter upturns, apply sealant 15mm wide to all junctions, reinforced with fiberglass mat to a DFT of 1.2mm, ensuring the membrane system is installed 200mm onto balcony areas.
Drains & Floor Waste Details: All floor wastes should have a recessed leak control flange installed, primed with appropriate primer, and the membrane system installed as per specifications.
Waterproofing Installation: Australian Standards
The installation of a Class 2/3 waterproof membrane system to external concrete must comply with AS 4654.2. Key considerations for installation include:
Installation Conditions: Avoid installation in extreme temperatures (below 10°C or above 35°C) to prevent accelerated or decelerated cure times.
Type of Membrane: Use a flexible waterproofing membrane capable of withstanding normal cyclic fluctuations and ponding water.
Waterproofing Changes in Victoria
The Building Act 1993 remains, but the Building Regulation 2006 will be replaced by the Building Regulations 2017, expected to be legislated around September. Key changes affecting the waterproofing industry include Part 13, which mandates inspection prior to covering a waterproofing membrane in any wet area.
The regulations remain consistent in other areas affecting waterproofing, such as the adoption of the NCC and relevant Australian Standards, methods of assessment of compliance, material testing, and compliance certificates.
The VBA confirms that only a registered Building Practitioner can authorize compliance of waterproofing works. Subcontractors who are not registered cannot authorize compliance. Although they can state that they have complied with the relevant standards, liability lies primarily with the registered builder, now shared with the Building Inspector or Surveyor for wet areas.
QBCC Tradie Tours
Waterproofing is consistently one of the most common defects reported to the QBCC, with mistakes being costly. In June 2017, the QBCC presented ten waterproofing seminars throughout Queensland, dedicated to waterproofing and tiling issues with a focus on preventing waterproofing defects. Approximately 1000 builders, waterproofers, certifiers, and tilers attended these seminars.
Bayset’s Training & Quality Manager, Frank Moebus, provided in-depth information about avoiding installation problems. The Tradie Tour received positive feedback from the industry.
Project Reference: Botanicca Corporate Park
Overview:
Property Type: Commercial
Project Type: Restoration
Scope: Leaking roof joints affecting company suites
Applicator: Australian Waterproofing Company Pty Ltd
Area: 1150m²
Category: Waterproofing
Products Used:
Soprema Soprasun 3.0S
Soprema Sopradhere Primer
Soprema Alsan Flashing
Soprema Roof Vents
Project Details:
Botanicca Corporate Park experienced leaks in the roof joints that affected various company suites and balconies. The building, constructed in 2006, required a watertight roof to ensure its longevity. A 20-year warranty was provided, and the Soprema Torch On system was applied to achieve a high-quality waterproofing result, both aesthetically and functionally.
Gary Moody, project manager, described the project as challenging but rewarding due to the successful outcome achieved by the experienced applicator.
Importance of Waterproofing Standards and Compliance
Legislative Changes and Their Impact
The introduction of the Building Regulations 2017 brings significant changes to the waterproofing industry, particularly regarding inspection and compliance requirements. For the first time, building inspectors or surveyors must inspect waterproofing membranes before they are covered in any wet areas. This change emphasizes the importance of thorough inspections to prevent defects and ensure high-quality waterproofing.

Floor Waste Requirements for Bathrooms in Australia
Waterproofing Melbourne and the entire construction industry must stay updated with the latest amendments to the Australian Standard AS3740 and the National Construction Code (NCC). Recent changes emphasize floor waste requirements and fall requirements in bathrooms, which are crucial for maintaining high standards of commercial waterproofing and other waterproofing practices.
Scope
The amendments clarify the waterproofing of wet areas within residential buildings across various states, including New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia. The NCC, a performance-based code, includes Volumes 1 and 2 (Building Code of Australia) and Volume 3 (Plumbing Code of Australia).
Legislation Overview
The NCC provides the minimum necessary standards for safety, health, sustainability, and amenity in building and plumbing legislation across Australia. It is divided into performance requirements and allows for compliance through Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions or alternative solutions.
BCA Volume 1
F1.7 Waterproofing of Wet Areas: Ensures wet areas in buildings are adequately waterproofed to prevent damage and maintain safety.
F1.11 Floor Grading: In Class 2 or 3 buildings or Class 4 parts of a building, bathroom or laundry floors located above a sole occupancy unit or public space must be graded to prevent water spillage.
BCA Volume 2
Performance Requirement P2.4.1: Addresses waterproofing of wet areas in Class 1 and 10 buildings, specifying that these areas must meet specific performance criteria to ensure effective waterproofing.
Floor Waste and Grading Requirements
The NCC Volume 1 and 2, along with the Australian Standard, provide performance requirements for waterproofing elements in wet areas. However, the BCA Volume 2 does not mandate floor waste installation in Class 1 buildings, such as single dwelling houses, except for rooms with wall-hung urinals. The floor in these buildings does not need to be graded to a floor waste gully, even if one is present.
In contrast, Class 2, 3, or 4 buildings with bathrooms or laundries located above other sole occupancy units or public spaces require floor waste installations to prevent water from entering the spaces below. The floors in these areas must be graded to the floor waste.
Importance of Compliance
Compliance with these standards is critical for preventing waterproofing failures, which can lead to significant post-construction issues, including structural damage and health hazards. Ensuring proper waterproofing in areas like basement waterproofing, retaining wall waterproofing, and lift pit waterproofing is essential for the longevity and safety of buildings.
The Role of Training and Education
Paul Evans highlights the importance of ongoing training and education in the waterproofing industry. By staying informed about legislative changes and best practices, professionals can improve the quality of their work and reduce the risk of defects.

Botanicca Corporate Park experienced leaks in the roof joints that affected various company suites and balconies. The building, constructed in 2006, required a watertight roof to ensure its longevity. A 20-year warranty was provided, and the Soprema Torch On system was applied to achieve a high-quality waterproofing result, both aesthetically and functionally.
Gary Moody, project manager, described the project as challenging but rewarding due to the successful outcome achieved by the experienced applicator.
Importance of Waterproofing Standards and Compliance
Legislative Changes and Their Impact
The introduction of the Building Regulations 2017 brings significant changes to the waterproofing industry, particularly regarding inspection and compliance requirements. For the first time, building inspectors or surveyors must inspect waterproofing membranes before they are covered in any wet areas. This change emphasizes the importance of thorough inspections to prevent defects and ensure high-quality waterproofing.

Floor Waste Requirements for Bathrooms in Australia
Waterproofing Melbourne and the entire construction industry must stay updated with the latest amendments to the Australian Standard AS3740 and the National Construction Code (NCC). Recent changes emphasize floor waste requirements and fall requirements in bathrooms, which are crucial for maintaining high standards of commercial waterproofing and other waterproofing practices.
Scope
The amendments clarify the waterproofing of wet areas within residential buildings across various states, including New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia. The NCC, a performance-based code, includes Volumes 1 and 2 (Building Code of Australia) and Volume 3 (Plumbing Code of Australia).
Legislation Overview
The NCC provides the minimum necessary standards for safety, health, sustainability, and amenity in building and plumbing legislation across Australia. It is divided into performance requirements and allows for compliance through Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions or alternative solutions.
BCA Volume 1
F1.7 Waterproofing of Wet Areas: Ensures wet areas in buildings are adequately waterproofed to prevent damage and maintain safety.
F1.11 Floor Grading: In Class 2 or 3 buildings or Class 4 parts of a building, bathroom or laundry floors located above a sole occupancy unit or public space must be graded to prevent water spillage.
BCA Volume 2
Performance Requirement P2.4.1: Addresses waterproofing of wet areas in Class 1 and 10 buildings, specifying that these areas must meet specific performance criteria to ensure effective waterproofing.
Floor Waste and Grading Requirements
The NCC Volume 1 and 2, along with the Australian Standard, provide performance requirements for waterproofing elements in wet areas. However, the BCA Volume 2 does not mandate floor waste installation in Class 1 buildings, such as single dwelling houses, except for rooms with wall-hung urinals. The floor in these buildings does not need to be graded to a floor waste gully, even if one is present.
In contrast, Class 2, 3, or 4 buildings with bathrooms or laundries located above other sole occupancy units or public spaces require floor waste installations to prevent water from entering the spaces below. The floors in these areas must be graded to the floor waste.
Importance of Compliance
Compliance with these standards is critical for preventing waterproofing failures, which can lead to significant post-construction issues, including structural damage and health hazards. Ensuring proper waterproofing in areas like basement waterproofing, retaining wall waterproofing, and lift pit waterproofing is essential for the longevity and safety of buildings.
The Role of Training and Education
Paul Evans highlights the importance of ongoing training and education in the waterproofing industry. By staying informed about legislative changes and best practices, professionals can improve the quality of their work and reduce the risk of defects.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

2. In an ever increasing world of big-business it’s
hard to find good customer service these
days. Customers should always be placed at
the forefront of any business, large or small,
and all too often they are neglected.
3. One of the key reasons why small businesses are
better at customer service is because they have
better communication. In the big business world
it’s hard to get a hold of anyone who
matters, but in small business that is not the
case.
4. Small businesses are also better at customer
service because they have more time to focus
on their customers. That’s not to say that small
businesses aren’t as busy, or operating as
efficiently, as big businesses, but they have the
greater advantage in focusing on their
customers. With less employees, sound
communication, and better time frames, a small
business can develop amazing customer service.
