Antea Group UK is pleased to announce that it has been named an Accredited Consulting Partner by EcoVadis, the global standard for resilient, sustainable supply chains.
Earlier this year, hundreds of people from around the world took on a challenge to fix our global food system by looking to nature for design solutions. Now, eight finalist teams have been invited to prototype their solutions in an accelerator program that will award $100,000 to the top contender in an effort to increase speed to market for biomimetic solutions to global problems.
Water scarcity is one of the greatest risks facing humanity and the global economy. Water shortages—from the U.S. to Peru to India—are impacting every facet of our society, including our global food supply.
For the past 25 years, over 200 organizations have been gathering in Stockholm, Sweden at World Water Week, to discuss water and development issues. Here at 3BL Media, instead of being bummed that we weren’t headed to #WWWeek, we decided to make the most of it from this side of the Atlantic.
Is human trafficking and modern day slavery becoming an increasing issue within supply chains? We are seeing it more in the media that larger corporations, that typically have vastly larger supply chains, are finding issues with human trafficking and slavery. Companies handle compliance related issues, such as conflict minerals and corruption, within their supply chains, and have to be aware if any issue arises. Those same supply chains that have the potential risk also carry with it the possibility of slavery and human trafficking.
Republic Services works hand-in-hand with Carson High School on their recycling and composting initiatives. Carson High School was recently awarded the 2015 SEED Award for Environmental Excellence. In this category, Carson High competed against four other nominees, including Los Angeles World Airport (LAX). Carson High School was recognized for their sustainable efforts while being a student-run program. This is the second time the Carson High School program has been recognized. This year, Republic worked with Carson High to build off their program, and we are pleased that other high schools within LAUSD are now interested in duplicating the program at their schools.
Cleaning up garbage from the beaches of southern Japan, the canals in London, or at the Jersey Shore engages our employees with local communities and improves the environment.
Many schools across the country are participating in the First Lego League http://firstlegoleague.org/. Each year, students receive tasks from the league and they work to find a solution. A group of students from St. Louis’s Sacred Heart visited the Republic Services Recycling Facility to learn about recycling processes and will use that information to design a solution, for example, what could be done better or in what way could the process improve?
