Have You Checked For Slavery In Your Supply Chain? If Not Then You Should

With the world realizing what the effects of forced labor and modern day slavery can do to them, major companies that have identified slavery within their supply chains are creating better plans to rid of this problem. As we’ve seen in recent months major companies, such as Nestle, have found that suppliers within their supply chains have been using the elements of human slavery to increase production. With consumers becoming more aware of what is exactly involved in the products they buy and the sources that companies use to create these products, it has really become top priority for many companies to be aware of the pending social, economical, and ethical issues.

Irrigation Overhaul Means Huge Water Savings at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas

MGM Resorts International expects to see healthier trees and more efficiency as water usage drops by about one third when a comprehensive irrigation upgrade now in progress at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas is finished in June.

“The change allows us to turn down the overhead sprinklers that water the grass in natural areas, while still getting enough water to the trees where it’s needed,” said Tim Cloninger, Shadow Creek Superintendent. “We’re a little more than half done and we’ve already reduced our water usage by about 25 percent.”

Making a Date For Behaviour Change

Every year the National Health Service loses a staggering £950m because of missed appointments, or DNAs (did not attends) – no-shows who fail to cancel their appointments. Twelve million GP appointments are missed at a cost of £162m and 7.1m hospital appointments at a cost of £788m.
