Domtar's Collaborative Approach to Sustainable Forestry

Billions could be spent developing state-of-the-art technologies that capture carbon dioxide out of the air, and they wouldn’t come close to the elegance and cost-effectiveness of the greatest carbon sequestration tool already at our disposal — the world’s 3 trillion trees. That might sound like a lot, but with a net loss of 12.8 million acres — the equivalent area of Costa Rica — occurring each year, we are swiftly outpacing the rate at which forests can regenerate.

To Mentor or Be Mentored: Everyone in the Workplace Has Something to Teach

A recent survey of 1,000 millennials by Zeno Group found that while millennial women highly value mentorship, only 60 percent of them have mentors; and those who had them were more likely to believe they were on track to achieve their professional goals. As development is a critical part of employee growth and engagement, Baxter developed a new framework that serves as a unique relationship-based, professional development approach to mentorship in which one person facilitates the growth of others during a sustained period of time by sharing resources, expertise, knowledge and skills, and perspectives.
