Evolution Mine is a Los Angeles based startup retailer specializing in the sale of hemp and bamboo products only. Our business model is unique and serves to build a bio based economy founded with hemp and bamboo. Our mission is to not only sell products, but build the supply chains and public support to create competitive commodities through women’s empowerment. Evolution Mine ushers in a new era of what we are calling “#ConsumerActivism.” By removing the consumer dollar from the “toxic circle”, an economy is built in parallel to the oil and coal based economy where two commodities become vulnerable moving from energy to consumer arenas.
Evolution Mine is a more viable and permanent option to boycotts and protests. Perhaps less romantic than the notion of public uprisings and anarchy in the streets; this is a plan for a peaceful shift of wealth and power. While as a society we are dependent on toxic commodities owned by the few our power as Citizens is capped at going against the hand that feeds us. It is time to build the demand for competitive, sustainable resources grown by all and the return of human evolution to the masses.

A sustainable journey - from sustainability and eco design to circularityStephan Clambaneva
This short presentation takes you through my personal journey towards sustainability.
The question on many peoples mind these days is with all this focus on environmental programs greening of almost everything around us…. However it is phrased is….. Can I be green and still be lean? If I try to become more green, will my bottom line stay out of the red?
I refer to books like:
Can I go from Green to Gold?? The Co-author Andrew Winston Thomas Friedmans book called Hot Flat and Crowded
Most past initiatives have been focused on creating restrictive norms aimed at manufacturers.
REACH, RoHS, WEEE, ELV, EuP…all EU normsChina RoHS, California RoHS, Korea RoHS
California Prop 65 & Green Chemistry Initiative
They focus on laggards rather than leaders
This resulted in bad consumer information
Behaviors have changed
The Market rules are now getting stronger than regulations
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a data assessment process which measures the environmental impact of a product along each step from “Raw Material Extraction” to a product’s “End-of-Life” (i.e., Recycling, ReUse, or Disposal).
Both the manufacturing process impacts and the transportation impacts to the environment are assessed at each of the many manufacturing phases along the way.
I take you through certain green strategies that create green from green!
Mine Your Own Business: Eight Win-Win Strategies for Business and the Environ...EnergyCAP, Inc.
In this presentation, explore the emergence of sustainability strategy in business, government, and education and how it relates to energy efficiency and conservation. Part of the annual Catalyst Training Conference by EnergyCAP, Inc., this talk was presented by Erik Foley, President of the Dais Consulting Group.
Join Yasmin Borain, Head of Experience Design at Publicis Sapient, and Jani Cortesini, Creative Strategy Lead at Google Zoo, for a hands-on workshop on how to use design to help achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
In September 2015, the General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). All organisations and individuals in the world have a responsibility to collaborate and make sure we achieve them together.
More and more, people want brands to make a positive contribution to society but it is also our responsibility as designers to make sure this happens through the products and services we create.
Don’t miss this inspiring and interactive day where you will learn how to use Design as a way of solving existing customer and business problems, that also contribute to the achievement of SDGs goals. You will learn more about the latest technology and inspiring case studies around sustainability from some major organisations, and you’ll also work on real client briefs and create solutions that will help organisations achieve customers, business and brand needs that have a real purpose.
This workshop will show you how to develop your strategic thinking around sustainability and brand purpose, to help brands connect people to values and have an impact in the world.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Business Valuation Principles for EntrepreneursBen Wann

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

How to change the world - Wind of Change at Major Corporations
1. How to Change the World –
Wind of Change at Major Corporations
2. “There are three ways to change the
world: change China, change
California, or change Walmart.”
William McDonough,
architect, designer,
and sustainability expert
4. Largest retailer in the
world
Known for ruthless
exploitation of natural
resources, squeezing
suppliers, and
crushing communities
Public Enemy No. 1 for
a generation of
activists and reformers
5. Wind of Change
Announced plans in 2006 to rebuild
the company with 3 major goals:
~ To use 100% renewable energy
~ To achieve zero waste
~ To sell only products that benefit
the environment
across the global supply chain
6. Only one phrase to describe this ambition:
匪 夷 所 思
(Unbelievable)
9. Goal No. 2
Serious about waste….
“Our goal is to create zero waste.
We’re working toward a day when there
will be no landfills containing our
throwaways.
In 2011, our Walmart U.S. operations
prevented more than 80% of store
waste from going to landfills.”
Walmart Global Sustainability Report, 2012
11. Goal No. 3
All products to be
sustainably produced –
by far the most
ambitious goal
Can it be ever achieved?
12. One example – fishery products
Over the past half century, demand for
seafood has increased five-fold.
An estimated 75% of the world’s fisheries
are at or beyond sustainable limits.
13. Sustainable Fishing
Since 2007, Walmart requires all seafood
suppliers to become third-party certified
as sustainable using Marine
Stewardship Council (MSC),
Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) or
equivalent standards.
As of Jan 2012, 76% of fishery products
sold at Walmart were sustainably
harvested.
14. Still a long way to go,
but it’s already impacting on
all its suppliers worldwide,
including those in China.
15. Nike
Made its fortune
through celebrity
marketing, supplier
exploitation, and
total disregard for
the environment
But things are changing,
and changing fast….
16. Nike wants to sell shoes, a lot of shoes…
But it also asks:
What should go into the shoe?
How to minimize its impact on the environment?
What materials should be used?
How to manufacture the shoe so that it can be
easily disassembled and recycled?
What happens when the shoe’s useful life ends?
How to regain the discarded shoes from the
customers?
17. Nike’s Considered Design
A systematic effort to minimize environmental
impact by reducing waste throughout the
design and development process, using
environmentally preferred materials and
eliminating toxics.
The long-term goal is to design products that
are fully closed loop: using the fewest possible
materials and designed for easy disassembly,
while allowing them to be recycled into new
product or safely returned to nature at the end
of their life.
Shoes
will
not be
the
same
again.
18. Nike’s vision
Design for recycling
Consumers bring their products back to
us to be recycled into new products
Waste that cannot be eliminated is
recycled
Product is less reliant on oil and water
We all step lighter, faster into a future
low-carbon sustainable economy
19. Nike’s new design approach
Considered Design
Pegasus – Nike’s best-selling running
shoe – is a product of Considered Design:
13% lighter with an 83% recyclable sole.
Applied to all shoes 2011
To all apparel 2015
To everything 2020
20. Nike has become a master
of remarketing
It is always asking:
Can we reuse, recycle, repurpose,
or remanufacture
this input or output?
Classic example: Nike Grind
23. How many shoes does it take to
make a Nike Grind surface?
Outdoor basketball court: 2,500 pairs
Outdoor tennis court: 2,500 pairs
Playground: 3,500 – 10,000 pairs
Indoor basketball court: 3,500 pairs
Soccer pitch: 50,000 - 75,000 pairs
Running track: 75,000 pairs
24. Walt Disney
Apart from theme
parks, Disney is the
world’s largest
character franchiser –
Mickey Mouse,
Donald Duck, Winnie
the Pooh, etc.
25. In 2009 it acquired one
of its competitors,
Marvel Comics (owner
of Spiderman, etc), for
US$4 billion to
strengthen its position
in the character
franchise market.
This figure shows
how big the business
and the stake are for
Disney.
26. Who is Disney No.1 customer?
Children, of course!
But what’s wrong children
nowadays?
27. A 2004 UNICEF report revealed that
30% of US children were overweight
and 14% were obese.
And the trends were most worrying.
29. Although Disney did not feel that they
had contributed to this phenomenon,
some of their franchisees certainly did,
including of course McDonald’s.
This is the youngest
person ever to have
weight loss surgery
30. Disney was determined to transform the
eating habits of children to halt the
obesity trend.
In 2006, Disney introduced nutritious
food guidelines
Requiring all its franchisees to use kid-
focused products that meet specific limits
on calories, fat, saturated fat and sugar.
31. Imagination Farms was launched to
create an extensive food portfolio
which today offers nutritious options
in key meal categories including fresh
produce, bread, pasta, dairy and baked
goods.
32. Imagination Farms
Mission
Increase the consumption of fresh fruits &
vegetables among children
Goal
Become the number one trusted brand for
healthful food choices for kids
33. For Disney, all these are not part of CSR
as such.
They are trying to educate and nurture
a new generation of children with
healthy lifestyle and eating habits.
35. Coco-Cola started operation
in India in 1950.
But in 1977, they exited after
a new law partially
nationalized the company.
36. They returned in 1993 and had been
struggling to find a foothold.
The Indians like their product but resent
their global corporate dominance.
37. Greatest challenge:
Developing the business in the
rural areas where there are
few job opportunities,
little or no electricity,
a huge population that has
embraced wireless technology
How do you sell soft drinks
when there are hardly any
refrigerators?
38. The breakthrough….
eKOCool and 5 by 20
eKOCool is a solar-powered
mobile cooler for use in the
villages where there is no
electricity.
5 by 20 is Coca-Cola’s global
commitment to nurture and
empower 5 million women
entrepreneurs by 2020.
39. Killing three birds
in one stone
Creating employment
as operator of a
stand-alone business
Selling Coke
Recharging
mobile phones and
electric lanterns
40. The cooler can hold
48 300ml bottles.
Beverages kept in
the cooler overnight
or 4 to 5 hours are
chilled enough for
consumption.
42. Accenture is one of the world’s
largest consulting firm.
Rank among Fortune Global 500.
2012: revenue US$28.6 billion
275,000 employees worldwide
Greatest challenge:
finding and retaining talents
45. Accenture Development Partnerships
- A Corporate Social Enterprise
The first of its kind
Harness its best people to offer their
expertise to build, strengthen, or scale
up NGOs and social enterprises in
the developing countries
46. How it works
Accenture employees could choose to
work in social projects in developing
countries for 3 to 6 months at half pay.
On completion of the projects, they
return to their original posts, having
gained valuable exposure in fostering
development in challenging and
unfamiliar environment.
48. Win-win-win
Half salary of
staff involved
Half salary for
project duration
Pay below-
market
consultancy fees
More capable
and motivated
staff
Exposure,
training and
opportunities to
contribute
Access to top
talents and
expertise
Company
Contribution Gain
Staff
Clients
(NGOs, etc)
49. Accenture has become a role
model in staff engagement and is
winning the talent war
Many professional firms are
following their example and
devising similar programs
50. Interface Carpet –
the Power of One
All of the previous
examples are household
names
Here is one which is not
that well known as it is an
industrial company
However, its impact and
influence is by far the
greatest
51. Interface Carpet -
used to be a ‘business as usual’
Turned vinyl and other petroleum
products into carpets
Total dependence on oil industry for
inputs
Unsustainable from both business
and environmental points of view
52. In 1994, a customer asked
Chairman Ray Anderson a
simple question:
“How environmental
friendly is your
company?”
53. Ray hasn’t a clue…
In preparing the response,
he came across a book
The Ecology of Commerce
by Paul Hawken, which
shocked him and helped
him to realize that
Interface has been a great
polluter all along and was
utterly unfriendly to the
environment
54. Ray had two options…
Option 1
Tell the customer
that the company is
not very
environmental
friendly but will do
something about it
Option 2
Fundamentally
rethink and
redesign the whole
production method
to make it totally
environmental
friendly
55. What would you do if you were
Chairman Ray Anderson who
was the founder and chairman of
the Company but was already
60 years old?
He chose option 2
56. Interface’s
Mid-course Correction
Committed to pioneer the ‘next industrial
revolution’ and ‘unhooked from the oil
well’
Developed technologies to produce
carpets with recyclable yarns from bio-
based fibers made from corn starch
Pioneered carpet reclamation program –
‘We want your carpets’ – recycling own
and rivals’ carpets
58. The Power of One
Interface has since become
the world’s most
environmental friendly
enterprise
They were a lone pioneer
when they embarked on
their transformation
It was the Interface
experience which helped
convert Walmart to
formulate their ambitious
goals in 2006
