MDGs : Progress of Bangladesh
Bangladesh has made commendable progress in respect of eradication of poverty and hunger. It has sustained a GDP growth rate in excess of 6 percent in recent years that has played a positive role in eradicating poverty. The robust growth has been accompanied by corresponding improvements in several social indicators such as increased life expectancy and lower fertility rate despite having one of the world’s highest population densities.
Goal 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education
Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women
Goal 5 : Improve Maternal Health
Goal 4 : Reduce Child MortalityGoal 5 : Improve Maternal Health
Goal 6 :Combat HIV/AIDS,Malaria and other Deseases
Goal 7 : Ensure Environmental Sustainability
Goal 8 : Develop a Global Partnership for Development
This document provides an overview and analysis of Bangladesh's progress towards achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. It begins with acknowledging those who helped with the research and an executive summary. The body of the document then examines Bangladesh's status and prospects for fulfilling each development goal based on data from 1990 to 2009, identifying areas that need further attention. It concludes by recommending actions to help Bangladesh fully achieve the MDGs by the 2015 deadline. Tables and charts are included to illustrate trends and comparisons across regions.
Through the financial evaluation of parameters which represent the sustainability of the company together with the ethical understanding on how to implement these indicators, an ethical credit rating can be build to share the good governance of the bank with its clients and suppliers. This system will help companies and the investment community to evaluate how sustainability practices, and more inclusive stakeholder- oriented governance systems, could positively affect corporate performances
A Model for the Value Creation FrameworkLuisa Nenci
The Value Creation Framework (Perrini, 2006) helps companies and the investment community to better understand how a more inclusive stakeholder-oriented governance systems positively affects corporate performance. Perrini, Russo,Tencati, &Vurro, 2009 analysis findings are that there is no doubt that Corporate Responsibility (CR) may be beneficial for committed firms. Less clear is what dimensions firms can leverage to improve their abilities to benefit from responsible behavior. Starting from the analysis of existing literature on the link between Corporate Social Performance (CSP) and Corporate Financial Performance (CFP), and deepening the different dimensions underlying the relationship between specific CR-related interventions and company performance, the research answered the call for a more detailed understanding of the mechanisms through which CR can impact on the performance of the firm.
A simplified NetLogo model has been built (Nenci, 2013) to frame and analyse company's policy and related actions on people values and consequential corporate performances impacts. While firms values, belief and activities have been identified and classified into drivers, influencer and influenced (Perrini et al, 2009) variables specification, their interaction mechanisms and rules has been developed to build the model. Satisfaction has been chosen as the main variable including in calculation: salary, mobility and training variation, training and satisfaction variation against average. This to answer the question: With which level of decreasing satisfaction a talented worker will leave the enterprise?
The increasing awareness of stakeholders is leading firms to adopt strategies related to the reduction of their environmental impact, not necessarily linked to existing regulatory provisions (e.g. Corporate Social Responsibility strategies). We focus on the potential role of banks, when dealing with the credit merit of potential investors, and move a first step in the direction of understanding the consequences and trade-offs involved in the adoption of “green credit merit” (GCM) measurement tools. After providing a theoretical background for our investigation, we develop a descriptive analysis using firm level Spanish data. We show that in certain cases projects featuring a low environmental impact would gain access to credit according to green credit merit procedures but not according to standard credit merit indicators. Also, and remarkably, indicators focused on specific environmental problems (e.g. related to energy consumption) might prove much more effective and informative than wider ones.

Existing strategies that are publicly available and accessible and the opinions and perceptions of key Green Economy and Sustainability practitioners were the basis of the assessment. In a nutshell, the main outcome of the study is that the large majority of Mediterranean countries have out-dated or incomplete national GE/SD strategies. Often they are vague, not giving clear definitions or indicators. Only five countries (France, Italy, Morocco, Portugal and Tunisia) can claim to have good, up-to-date and detailed strategies with clear indicators, or – in the case of Italy – supporting legislation in place. Seven countries (Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Egypt, Slovenia and Spain) have outdated GE/SD strategies or none at all. The rest of the Mediterranean countries (Algeria, Croatia, Greece, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Montenegro, Palestine and Turkey) are somewhere in between these two groups of countries.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.
