This document summarizes Nike's journey towards more sustainable store operations and construction. It discusses key events in Nike's sustainability efforts, such as Earth Day in 1971, and implementing LEED certification starting in 2005. Milestones are highlighted, like achieving Silver certification in 2006 and Gold certification for their Oklahoma City store in 2011. The benefits of LEED certification are outlined, along with initial and evolving costs. Collaboration with landlords is also cited as important for negotiating favorable "cold dark shell" workletters to control build-out costs. In summary, the document chronicles Nike's progression in adopting greener building practices and gaining LEED certification for numerous factory store projects.
This document summarizes a webinar on environmentally sustainable meetings standards and initiatives. It discusses the APEX/ASTM standards for nine areas including accommodations, audio/visual production, communications, destinations, exhibits, food and beverage, on-site offices, transportation, and venues. It encourages including sustainability clauses in contracts with suppliers to strengthen partnerships and achieve goals. It provides examples of clauses around recycling, energy use, waste minimization, and purchasing that can be included. The document emphasizes communicating expectations, going paperless when possible, and measuring accomplishments.
Colt and ID Quantique have deployed a quantum cryptography service for encrypting data transmitted between Geneva and a remote disaster recovery center 70 km away. The system uses ID Quantique's Quantum Key Distribution technology to generate encryption keys and ensures any data interception can be detected. This collaboration allows ID Quantique to offer quantum key distribution as a managed service on a monthly basis. Customers retain control over their encryption keys while taking advantage of the security of quantum cryptography.
Your UI is no longer a dance solo; it has to interact with many devices and platforms. Even for a single service, the stage is jammed with digital performers. We leap from phone to tablet to PC—and now watches, appliances, even jewelry are lighting up with new intelligence. Learn to choreograph experiences with the whole troupe in mind. This talk spins through a whirling fandango of practical techniques for helping users glide among interfaces, even step between digital and physical. Know when your UI should lead or follow. Adopt the rhythm of sound and silence. And most of all, avoid stepping on the user's feet. UI design is cha-cha-cha changing; learn to keep up with the tempo.

The Green Race is On is the title of the WBCSD's Annual Review 2009 ( 28.8 MB) . It is only in the past five years that thoughtful companies have begun to understand the vast opportunities of moving toward a sustainable world, and that science has made clear the global catastrophes inherent in un-sustainable development.
This Annual Review celebrates both the 15 year anniversary of the WBCSD and how member companies are engaging with sustainable development. In it we cover the pertinent issues challenging us, including:
Energy, climate, development and urbanization and the link between them
The re-invention of “green jobs”
Smarter grids, new investments in energy supply and distribution
Sustainable consumption, with consumers beginning to look at individual purchasing patterns and their impacts on the planet
Global and local water challenges
Advanced green energy technologies
Business opportunities associated with the sustainable management and stewardship of ecosystems and the creation of market mechanisms for ecosystem services.

RadiciGroup at 50th Dornbirn Man Made Fibres Congress - 14-16 September 2011RadiciGroup
The document summarizes RadiciGroup's sustainability project and initiatives. It discusses the company's organizational models, product certifications, commitments under the Kyoto Protocol, and a new sustainability approach using GRI guidelines. A key part of the project is performing LCAs on RadiciGroup's main polyamide products to analyze environmental impacts across the production chain and identify opportunities to lower energy usage and emissions through recycling. The presented LCA results show recycling polyamide waste into plastics uses less energy and emits fewer greenhouse gases than recycling into yarn.
The Ecodesign Centre Wales aims to encourage sustainable production and consumption in Wales by building capabilities for effective ecodesign. Ecodesign, also known as design for environment, involves designing products and services to reduce environmental impacts across their lifecycles from material sourcing through end of life. Over 80% of a product's environmental impacts are determined during the design stage. However, barriers like lack of awareness, resources and competing priorities sometimes prevent companies from adopting ecodesign. The government and Ecodesign Centre Wales seek to address these barriers and facilitate knowledge sharing to promote ecodesign in Wales.
The Envision Rating System is a tool that can be used for infrastructure projects of all types, sizes, complexities, and locations to meet sustainability goals, be publicly recognized for high levels of achievement, make decisions about scarce resources and include community priorities in civil infrastructure investment.

This document discusses and compares several online life cycle assessment (LCA) tools that can help designers evaluate and reduce the environmental impacts of products across their full life cycles. It provides information on tools from Sustainable Minds, Greenfly, LCA Calculator, GaBi Software, and SolidWorks Sustainability. Sustainable Minds and Greenfly are free online tools that allow designers to model a product's life cycle stages and materials to generate impact charts and compare design concepts. They also provide ecodesign guidelines. More complex paid tools like GaBi Software and SolidWorks Sustainability allow for deeper LCA analyses within computer-aided design software but require greater expertise to use.

Nokia has three key principles for environmental sustainability: applying the highest standards, viewing environmental thinking as a source of innovation, and taking a life cycle approach across its product portfolio. It manages over 1 million square meters of facilities globally and tracks energy consumption, emissions, water use, and waste monthly. Nokia engages with external stakeholders like CDP and DJSI to assess its sustainability impact and reports sustainability data annually as part of its 20-F filing to the NYSE.
Best Practices in Integrating Sustainability into the Product Design Process ...Sustainable Brands
In most cases, the ultimate sustainability of a brand, and therefore its flexibility to adopt a chosen market positioning and support communicated claims, is baked in during the design process. The reality is, doing so effectively requires a raft of new expertise that often is housed in various places external to the design team. This session reviews tried and tested methods for building sustainable design thinking into your organization.
