Making Supply Chain Sustainability in the Chemical Industry More Efficient

Companies participating in the UN Global Compact often point to their supply chains as one of the most challenging areas to improve their sustainability performance. This makes sense. For multinational corporations operating in multiple industries, supply chains aren’t chains at all. They’re webs --- vast, complex, and frequently shifting networks upon which the company relies to power its business. Despite the challenges, the supply chain cannot be ignored in any mature, well-integrated corporate sustainability strategy. In fact, the purchasing power of a company can significantly amplify any environmental and social change it might drive in its own operations. The trick for a successful sustainability supply chain strategy is efficiency, prioritization, and balance.

Big Cat Week in Europe: How a Sculpture, a Hashtag and Selfies Are Helping Nat Geo Save Big Cats Around the World

Nat Geo Wild Europe launched its sixth annual Big Cat Week in February. Each year, Nat Geo Wild sheds light on the plight of big cats around the world with a week of premieres. More than a television event, Big Cat Week is an extension of the Big Cats Initiative (BCI), a long-term commitment by the National Geographic Society to stop poaching, save habitat and sound the call that big steps are needed to save big cats around the world. This global initiative actively supports on-the-ground conservation projects and education to help stem and eventually reverse the rapid disappearance of big-cat populations.

Is Waste a Resource in the Wrong Place?

Waste production is a serious problem for all American companies and industries. The largest 5,589 publically traded businesses in the United States sent 342 million metric tons of waste to landfills and incinerators in 2014. That is the equivalent of sending the weight of three Empire State Buildings to a landfill every day.
