Benefits of Including Short-Lived Climate Pollutants in Your Climate Action Plan

In my recent blog, Generating Business Value with GHG Management- Part I (January 25), I explored five ways for companies to derive business value from GHG management strategies: 1) boosting sales through climate-friendly product marketing; 2) enhancing brand value and recognition; 3) earning extra revenue through carbon credits; 4) improving opportunities for funding; and 5) anticipating supply chain disruptions. As it turns out, by including “short-lived climate pollutants” (SLCPs) in your company’s Climate Action Plan, you can extend these benefits even further. This post takes a closer look at the importance of SLCPs and why they should matter to you.

Infographic | The Future of Women in the Workplace

Gender equality is now a top priority for 78% of companies (up from 56% in 2012), yet less than half of employees feel we’re doing enough. While the pay gap (for equal work) is closing, the promotion gap isn’t, leaving women making 76 cents on the dollar compared to men. And the gender gap isn’t expected to close for another 170 years. That’s too long to wait!

Curated Pathways™ Sets Women and Minorities on the Path to STEM Careers

In a turbulent economy with an uncertain job market, a career in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) remains one of the most reliable paths to a rich, rewarding career. In fact, computer and IT jobs in the US are projected to grow 12 percent by 2024, faster than the average for all other occupations. But, as hard as it may be to believe, the U.S. Department of Labor projects that there won’t be enough qualified students to meet the demand – with more than 1 million computing job openings alone projected by 2024.

‘The Only Girl In My Engineering Class’

Carol Malnati believes organizations that leverage gender diversity out-perform and out-innovate. It was the 1980’s and few women ventured into the university’s engineering buildings – let alone declare it as a major. In fact, Carol was typically the only girl in her engineering classes. “That’s when it hit me,” she says. “I could either walk away and prove them right that I didn’t belong, or stick with it. At that point, I wanted to be someone that encouraged young women to get involved in math, science, and engineering.” Today, she’s doing just that.
