New leading indicators focused on solving social and environmental challenges can drive business results and shareholder value. These "New Metrics" allow companies to identify undiscovered risks and opportunities. Implementing metrics to track issues like carbon emissions, energy efficiency, sustainable products, and human capital value can improve financial performance and reduce costs. For example, quantifying environmental risks across a company's supply chain revealed potential liabilities equivalent to 75% of annual profits.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

CARBON EMISSIONS RATIO
Quantifying all sources of energy
• Energy is embedded in every product and process, from
deep in the tiers of your supply chain to usage by customers, affecting costs.
• NEW METRIC: Carbon Emissions Ratio, revealing hidden fossil fuel risks
from gasoline, fuel oil, natural gas and fossil sources; reductions also mitigate
potential future liabilities related to possible carbon emission taxes.
• RESULTS: Firms tracking carbon metrics - like SAP’s data centers - and
disclosing them publicly show greater financial performance, according to
Carbon Disclosure Project and Bloomberg.
REAL-ESTATE EFFICIENCY RATIO
Energy, water & resources per square foot
• Most industrial plants, commercial buildings and real
estate operations are operated inefficiently - unnecessarily wasting electricity,
natural gas and other energy inputs (see graph).
• NEW METRIC: Real Estate
Efficiency Ratio - integrating
savings from energy, water, and
resource efficiency solutions;
calculated per square foot, and
comparable within building types.
• RESULTS: Implementation of
expertise from Trane, a unit of
Ingersoll-Rand, has realized
average energy savings
of 25% (and up to 40%) in
reduced operational costs overall
benefiting the bottom line.

HUMAN CAPITAL VALUE
People as a Valued Asset
• What are your firm’s most valuable assets? For most firms, it’s People.
Yet people are classified as expenses on the income statement - not yet as
assets on the balance sheet.
• NEW METRIC: “Human Capital Value” as an asset. 80% of the market value
of the S&P 500 is attributable to intangible assets – including brands, patents,
and people - but not included in book value.
• RESULTS: Proper valuation of productive assets and better performance and
managerial decision-making systems. Infosys, a global tech company based in
India, calculates Human Capital Value – which typically contributes more to
market value than traditional book value.

LOWER CAPEX: CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Prices for Ecosystem Services
• Nature doesn’t charge for its services: clean water, fresh
air, nitrogen restoration, bee pollination, and more. If
Nature did, it could amount to $2 of Ecosystem Services for every $1 of GDP.
• NEW METRIC: Percent of Nature mimicked; or “same result for less
capital expenditure” - by using ecosystem services and restoration.
• RESULTS: Dow, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, designed a
wetlands treatment area that saved $38+Million in CapEx (saving 96.5%).
The planned $40 Million water-treatment plant was canceled; instead,
$1.4 Million designed a wetlands and natural treatment ponds approach,
naturally cleaning 5 Million gallons of water daily, and preserving Nature.
