116 MILLION WORKERS WERE FOUND IN THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS OF 50 MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES, WITH MOST COMPANIES FAILING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR A MINIMUM LIVING WAGE, JOB SECURITY OR DECENT WORKING CONDITIONS.
PIONEERSCarbon3D is developing 3D printing solutions that deliver the synthesis of fit, form, and function needed to bridge the gap between prototyping and manufacturing.
Our approach is to use some standard knowledge in polymer chemistry to harness light and oxygen to grow parts continuously. The result is pretty
staggering. It's 25 to 100 times faster than traditional 3D printers, which is game-changing.
This is very exciting, because this really is owning the intersection between hardware, software and molecular science, and I can't wait to see what designers and engineers around the world are going to be able to do with this great tool.

A Robot Dispatcher to Help Truck Drivers Avoid Disruption
The MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) is developing an automated travel advisor that could ultimately function as a type of robot dispatcher that helps truck drivers avoid disruptions and choose the optimum routes to their destinations.
The lab already has several applications underway, including hybrid car navigation and controlling autonomous underwater vehicles.

The UN Global Compact and EY have collaborated to explore the current state of sustainable supply chains globally by interviewing more than 100 supply chain, procurement and sustainability executives from 70 companies.
Overall, it shows that by improving environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance throughout their supply chains, companies can enhance processes, save costs, increase labor productivity, uncover product innovation, achieve market differentiation and have a significant impact on society.
Yes, we use a lot of natural resources, we are a business here to make money, but we try to do that in a really responsible way.

OUR CASE STUDY
HOW TO INTEGRATE IMPACTUNILEVER, Lipton
In 2014, we took Lipton employees on a journey across Rainforest Alliance certified tea plantations in Indonesia to meet tea pluckers, their families, estate managers and local communities to understand in-depth why sustainably-sourced tea is better for business and our planet.
We created a documentary video of this journey to enable Lipton to inspire and motivate employees globally about the impact it creates by sustainably sourcing tea through Rainforest Alliance certified farms.
