Re-Capturing the American Dream: How Brands Can Change the FutureSustainable Brands
What does the American Dream entail? If it's still here, how do people envision it? Has it changed over the years? Brands are a means to help people realize the American Dream and what it stands for. In this presentation with Eric Park of Ziba Design and Marc Mathieu of BeDo, they look at how sustainability can be rightfully married with the ideals of opportunity and freedom, IF we choose to frame the discussion as such. Beyond the age of material wealth and abundance. In order to design and market more sustainable lifestyles, values, ideals, Eric and Marc point out how American culture should be the beginning and end points.
The U.K. government is planning to switch from Microsoft’s Office to open source solutions to cut costs. The focus is on having an efficient document management system with a great range of software.
Using Paul Kennedy's "Rise and Fall of Great Powers" to focus the discussion of the rise of new states and economic modes in Early Modern Europe (16th to 18th centuries)

The Path to Net Positive: Principles, Practical Models and Progress to Date b...Sustainable Brands
This document outlines the agenda for a virtual dialogue on achieving net positive outcomes.

Portela, an elite samba group in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil suffered a fire last month that destroyed over 8,000 costumes and floats they were preparing for the 2011 Carnival parade. During the parade on Sunday, Portela made a dramatic entrance where the percussion section paused in a moment of silence for their losses from the fire. Despite the setback from the fire, the 2011 Carnival went on as planned and showed the festival's ability to bring hope and happiness to those with little. The fire also strengthened the fierce allegiance that fans have for their samba groups in Rio, similar to how devoted they are to their soccer teams.

This report explores the extent to which corporate ESG metrics tracked internally align with those sought by external parties like ESG investors. The objectives are to: 1) identify meaningful ESG issues and metrics for both groups; 2) identify areas of mismatch and why they exist; and 3) determine if greater alignment is possible. The study finds general agreement on key issues but not metrics. It also finds that both focus on downside risk over value creation. Greater clarity on linking ESG to financial value and reducing reporting burdens could enable improved disclosure and investment analysis.
[Slidecast] Modeling the Shared Value of Industry CollaborationSustainable Brands
In this session, John O'Connor, VP Sustainability Research, Gaia Metrics (formerly, World Bank, IMF) suggests a model for applying models typically used to value "own account intangibles" like capitalized R&D and brand equity to industry or shared intangibles, such as pre-competition collaboration and supply chain information systems. Case studies from diverse industries (computers & electronics, pharmaceuticals, textiles & apparel, mining, and alcoholic beverages) will be used to show how shared or industry wide intangibles can play a significant role in shareholder value, in some cases exceeding the contribution of the company's purchased or own account intangibles.
These case studies will be used to propose a tentative typology for how businesses seem to use industry intangibles to maximize shareholder value. Topics for discussion include how businesses seem to use industry intangibles to maximize shareholder value, how examples presented might apply to other industries, and how the value of industry collaboration might be connected to income and expense data, to support return on investment metrics.
