Ziba counts some 26 nationalities and 19 languages among its 120 employees. "People with different genetic backgrounds tend to have healthier children," says Vossoughi, an immigrant from Iran. "It's the same with ideas as it is with biology. " Ziba, he says, also benefits from employees' knowledge of global markets. Provide Lots of Free Time to Think. 11:01 Carbon footprint. A carbon footprint has historically been defined by Championne as "the total sets of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person.
"[1] The total carbon footprint cannot be calculated because of the large amount of data required and the fact that carbon dioxide can be produced by natural occurrences. It is for this reason that Wright, Kemp, and Williams, writing in the journal Carbon Management, have suggested a more practicable definition: "A measure of the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions of a defined population, system or activity, considering all relevant sources, sinks and storage within the spatial and temporal boundary of the population, system or activity of interest. Most of the carbon footprint emissions for the average U.S. household come from "indirect" sources, i.e. fuel burned to produce goods far away from the final consumer.
[edit] 0:00 The Coolest Little Start-Up in America, Starting a Business Article - Inc. Article, Page 5. The first time Eric Smith laid eyes on Tom Szaky, in April 2005, he felt a shiver of panic.
Oh, my God, Smith thought. What have I gotten myself into? There they were, about to meet with Home Depot's global product merchant, John Fuller, a guy who could make or break a young company with a simple yes or no, and Szaky, the founder and CEO of TerraCycle, all of 23 years old at the time, shows up looking as if he's just rolled out of bed after a night of heavy partying--rumpled, unshaven, and dressed in jeans, a sports jacket, a shirt with no collar, and a John Deere baseball cap. This was not what Smith had bargained on.
1:02 Benefit corporation. A benefit corporation or B corporation is a corporate form in the United States designed for for-profit entities that want to consider society and the environment in addition to profit in their decision making process.
Benefit corporations differ from traditional corporations in regards to their purpose, accountability and transparency. The purpose of a benefit corporation is to create general public benefit, which is defined as a material positive impact on society and the environment. A benefit corporation’s directors operate the business with the same authority as in a traditional corporation, but where in a traditional corporation shareholders with proper standing judge the company's financial performance, here they judge qualitative performance based on the benefit corporation's stated goals. Shareholders in a benefit corporation determine if the benefit corporation has achieved a material positive impact.
History[edit] 1:02 Social enterprise. Many commercial enterprises would consider themselves to have social objectives, but commitment to these objectives is motivated by the perception that such commitment will ultimately make the enterprise more financially valuable.
Social enterprises differ in that, inversely, they do not aim to offer any benefit to their investors, except where they believe that doing so will ultimately further their capacity to realize their social and environmental goals. The term has a mixed and contested heritage due to its philanthropic roots in the United States, and cooperative roots in the United Kingdom, European Union and Asia.[3] In the US, the term is associated with 'doing charity by doing trade', rather than 'doing charity while doing trade'. History and philosophy[edit] Social enterprises are often regarded - erroneously - as non-profit organisations. Social enterprise is characterized by open membership and goals widely considered to be in the community or public interest.
Canada[edit] 4:42 Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Mission Statement The driving force behind a company formation and the innovation process is the entrepreneurial act.
These dynamic activities are, from a single-economies point of view of great importance. New ideas by emerging companies can be implemented very effectively but also existing companies are challenged to rediscover their worth through innovation to ensure being competitive internationally. The goal of our teaching is to present the students with first-class knowledge in the areas entrepreneurship and innovation. We orientate ourselves towards leading international universities and business schools. 2:36 Eligibility « good.bee Holding. People on low incomes have a hard time getting financial services from the banks.
This is true the world over. In Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) there is a particular problem of social and financial exclusion due to limited access to banking services. This affects small-scale entrepreneurs, such as farmers and shopkeepers, as well as the social enterprise sector which adopts a business approach to tackle social problems. As a joint venture, ERSTE Foundation and Erste Group launched good.bee in 2008, with the Foundation holding a 40% stake. good.bee’s main areas of business are microbanking and social enterprise finance.
It makes financial services more accessible to previously ‘underbanked’ individuals and businesses in CEE. In CEE countries, around 35 million people do not even have a simple current bank account. 2:21 dan vezentan. 0:02 Ken Robinson On The Principles Of Creative Leadership.

Cargo Architecture: 10 Shipping Container Homes & Offices Article by Urbanist, filed under Offices & Commercial in the Architecture category.
With the green theme growing in popularity across every stretch of the world, more and more people are turning to cargo container homes for green alternatives for office, and even new home, construction. There are countless numbers of empty, unused shipping containers around the world just sitting on the shipping docks and taking up space. One man's treasure-from-trash is a Centralia tourist attraction. CENTRALIA — Wheels spin. Steel spikes stab the sky, and bright plastic balls float above Richard Tracy's sprawling outdoor art gallery, where sculptures shaped like monsters, dogs and humans have been crafted from the most unlikely objects — tomato cages, Styrofoam blocks and roller skates. Although many in this conservative blue-collar community consider Tracy's Flash Gordon-meets-Vincent Price style of art as an eyesore spread over three full lots, it's through his 20-year project that the former schoolteacher who prefers to be known as "Richart" is earning his city of 15,000 national recognition.
Over the past few years, his unrestrained collection has been added to Web sites about quirky roadside attractions, included in books on a similar theme and compared to Los Angeles' Watts Tower — once considered junk, now priceless folk art. Ask most anyone in the city and they'll know exactly the place you mean — the corner lot on Harrison Avenue and M Street. 1:07 Extraordinary Art from Ordinary Objects. Extraordinary Art from Ordinary Objects Using ordinary materials to create art has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, limiting ones palette means having to work around problems that may arise as well as relying on variable quality of the materials available.
On the other hand, there is an implicit element of novelty and there are inherent opportunities for imbuing works with multiple meanings. These artists and materials may be unusual but the results range from conventional to extraordinary. 1:06 Adaptive Reuse: 20 Brilliant Recycled Buildings. Adaptive Reuse: 20 Brilliant Recycled Buildings Article by Urbanist, filed under Offices & Commercial in the Architecture category. Recycling discarded materials into new buildings and adapting disused structures to new uses is not just about sustainability – it is also about savvy innovation and stylish adaptation.
Some architects build modular wonders from existing units (such as shipping containers). Others draw from recycled, found and local materials (or entire old buildings) to create aesthetically amazing designs that brilliantly blend old and new. Spiral island (shown above) is just one such example: an incredible mobile private island floating on 250,000 recycled plastic bottles off the coast of Mexico. 1:06 Green Art, Design and Technology.
