CA ecoGovernance is a software product that helps organizations systematically meet their environmental goals through green governance. It provides tools to define sustainability strategies, identify risks, manage compliance, track initiatives and measure outcomes such as energy consumption, costs and carbon emissions. The cloud-based software reduces costs and complexity compared to on-premise alternatives. It supports a range of functions including assessments, project management, performance tracking and reporting to help lower energy use, costs and carbon footprints through continuous improvement.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) seeks to improve on revenue and brand identity on its retail shipping packaging and product lines that generated $11 billion in sales in FY 2011. Shipping supplies that are not considered environmentally preferable are candidates for improvement. Improvements will consist of integration of sustainable aspects such as economic and social value, efficient use of energy and materials, recycled content, compostability or biodegradability, and non-toxicity into identified shipping packaging and products. Identified packaging and product lines will be certified by a third party eco–labeling program, and measured as environmentally preferable retail products for profitability, volume, weight, and greenhouse gas measurements.
It is being proposed that a product innovation team be formed for the purpose of using Six Sigma methodologies to determine importance, problems or opportunities, improvements, and sustainable gains necessary to foster gains and improvements in shipping supplies not considered environmentally preferable.

Telling Your CSR Impact Story: An Outcomes Framework for a Portfolio of ProgramsTCC Group
Companies are facing increasing pressure to report on the impact and results of their various corporate citizenship programs, not only to customers and advocacy groups, but also to senior leaders and employees. Yet programs focusing on community and social issues may not have a framework that adequately captures and communicates their measures of success. As a result, these programs often provide only the most basic information – total grants, employee volunteer hours, etc. – without providing the impact story.
In this slide deck - shared during a Philanthropy New York workshop on September 22, 2016 - we explore a high level review of your portfolio of programs, and the creation of an outcomes framework for the portfolio. Take-home worksheets to implement these practices in your organization are available.

Addressing sustainable development guidelines cps es efficient_carbonZolt Energy
The Department of Public Enterprises has given out notifications to Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) or PSU companies to undertake Sustainable Development as a mandatory function of their MoU with them. We believe it is a great opportunity for these companies to undertake various activities under this banner and showcase different best practices in this domain.
We believe that the PSUs have to take a route that is quite different from the normal Private Sector companies in approaching Sustainable Development. To address this, we have made a presentation for the CPSEs to give a direction on complying with these guidelines and how to maximise this opportunity to become Sustainability led organisations. Do have a look at the presentation below and get in touch with us for a discussion on how PSU's should be approaching Sustainable Development.
In this hour-long presentation led by rd+d Editorial Director Joe Carbonara, our expert panel:
Discussed key planning, design and building considerations to help make any restaurant more environmentally friendly
Explored the benefits of pursuing green designations such as LEED
Outlined best practices for determining which options will help the restaurant achieve its green goals without compromising the brand promise

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?

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!
