NGO Recommends Going Beyond Conflict Minerals Compliance

NGO rankings/ratings, regardless of the subject matter, always heighten program manager’s and even board room senses. Will the work that I, as the program manager, did for my company to comply be represented well? Will the level of compliance we, as the board room, decided to have, be enough for the NGO? Responsible Sourcing Network (RSN), in response to their recent report ranking 155 large cap companies for conflict minerals, discloses their intention of their efforts to identify trends and determine areas for improvement among companies, with the ultimate goal to encourage all companies to develop a robust conflict minerals program.

Last week, AT&T and Franklin University launched the CBusStudentHack: Coding for Community, a 12 week programming contest for central Ohio high school students.

We’ve all heard about “hackathons” in our local communities, but the CBusStudentHack is different. Instead of working with the developer and tech communities, the CBusStudentHack will focus on providing Columbus area high school students with 21st century skills via computer science education. We also hope this competition will prepare the students for college and career readiness, solve real world problems and open the doors of opportunity and creativity, right here in Columbus, Ohio.

Every year, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security brands the month of October as ‘Cyber Security Awareness Month.’ As households purchase an increasing number of connected devices, from television to thermostats and even smart lightbulbs, cyber security awareness continues to accelerate for both corporations and consumers. We asked two of Alliance Data’s Chief Information Security Officers to provide some thoughts on the subject. Mike Britton is Chief Information Security Officer for Alliance Data and Matt Fearin is Chief Information Security Officer for Epsilon/Conversant.
