GreenXchange and the Effort to Speed Eco-Innovation - Charlie Brown, NikeSustainable Brands
GreenXchange, spearheaded by 10 companies and social enterprises including Nike, Yahoo!, IDEO, Mountain Equipment Co-op, salesforce.com, the Outdoor Industry Association, and others, is a groundbreaking initiative geared to empower companies working to protect the environment to share their research -- legally -- for social good and mutual profit, and at a time when businesses everywhere are allocating larger shares of their investment dollars to social innovation. This effort, and other emerging radical collaboration efforts reflect another driver ensuring the pace of sustainable innovation is not letting up any time soon. Listen to Nike's lead to GreenXchange Charlie Brown, speak on historical examples of open innovation, intellectual property, patents, collaboration, the initiative's goals, sustainable/green design, licensing options, sharing and more.
The document summarizes a life cycle assessment comparing the environmental impacts of three water purification systems used by families in Guatemala: an ecofiltro water filter, bottled water, and boiled water. The ecofiltro filter was found to have significantly lower impacts than bottled water or boiling across all metrics assessed, including global warming potential, cumulative energy demand, water use, and human toxicity. The ecofiltro filter uses locally sourced materials, requires little energy to produce, and can provide clean water to a family for two to four years using reusable parts.

This document discusses INVISTA's approach to sustainability across its product life cycles. It emphasizes assessing sustainability through a comprehensive life cycle analysis rather than isolated attributes. Products with longer first lifespans, through greater durability, can significantly reduce environmental impacts by lessening resource use and emissions from repeated production and disposal. INVISTA's Antron nylon carpets in particular can last up to 75% longer than competitors' carpets, reducing associated energy use and greenhouse gas emissions over their lifetime. After their first use, nylon carpets can also be recycled into new fibers or other materials.
This document outlines the agenda and vision for the Sustainable Brands Collaboratory on employee engagement. The collaboratory aims to share experiences and tools to enhance sustainability performance and employee satisfaction through a monthly call series, online forum, and potential in-person meetings. Initial goals are to establish a learning group, share resources in an asset library, and determine development needs. Operational details explain leadership support and expectations for participating companies to lead calls, introduce themselves on the forum, and provide resources from their own engagement programs.
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. It will include presentations from representatives of The Crown Estate, Dell, Dassault Systemes, Forum for the Future, and Harvard SHINE on their net positive work. There will then be breakout discussions on starting out, implementation, measurement, and communication, followed by a plenary discussion. The document provides background on why organizations are pursuing net positive strategies, noting that the current economic model is unsustainable. It introduces the Thriveability continuum and discusses who is involved in net positive initiatives like the Forum for the Future's Net Positive group and Harvard SHINE. Principles and business benefits of net positive approaches are also outlined.
A global revolution is in full swing, and the Sustainable Brands Conference is where sustainability, brand and innovation leaders gather to learn, share and strategize to shape the future. SB'12 was the largest gathering to date, a kinetic convergence of innovators from more than 150 companies from around the world finding new ways to create monumental disruption in traditional models of commerce and consumption.
