This is a unique opportunity for us to bring togetherIFC 's clients and partners to share best pracces in performance management, community investment, local sourcing, public private partnerships, revenue management, water stewardship, communicaons and stakeholder engagement at a crical me. A er a decade of fast emerging market growth powered by a commodity super-cycle, we now find economic development at a crical crossroads. We all need to take stock of the implicaons of slower growth, lower commodity prices and high expectaons from stakeholders in emerging markets. At the same me, many developing countries urgently need infrastructure upgrades to meet rising demand for energy and fresh water. We esmate that emerging markets will need an addional $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion of investment in infrastructure every year, and also expect there to be growing need for mining and other extracves projects – many of which will be in remote areas where development needs are greatest. It's more important than ever to ensure businesses, governments, communies and civil society work together to pursue sustainable growth and shared benefits from infrastructure and natural resource sectors. Strong partnerships, transparency, and trust will be vital to striking this balance. We must strive to be creave and find new ways to leverage much-needed private sector investment to build infrastructure and create jobs. This year, we are hosng more than 200 praconers from companies, consultancies, civil society, governments, internaonal development agencies, academia and the World Bank Group to discuss economic, environmental and social aspects of infrastructure and natural resource work. We hope you will use this opportunity to network and jointly explore how to drive good performance by embedding sustainability into core business funcons.

  • Creating Value Through Supply Chain Engagement: an Analysis of Three Consumer Products Companies
    CREATING VALUE THROUGH SUPPLY CHAIN ENGAGEMENT: AN ANALYSIS OF THREE CONSUMER PRODUCTS COMPANIES Nancy Van Way The Leonard N. Stern School of Business Glucksman Institute for Research in Securities Markets Faculty Advisor: Lawrence White April 3, 2017 1 I. Introduction A supply-chain manager at an international consumer products company recently commented to me that ‘food and beverage companies would be nothing without their suppliers.’ This bold statement on the importance of high-quality suppliers to the success of a business is corroborated by many business scholars, including those at Accenture that authored a recent study estimating that within manufacturing companies, the supply chain accounts for between 50 to 70 percent of total costs, and manufacturers spend about half of total revenues on raw materials and packaging.1 It is therefore no surprise that manufacturing companies have long been paying close attention to their supply chains in an effort to manage these costs and gain strategic advantage over competitors. One example of the power of innovative supply chain management is the development of just-in-time manufacturing in the 1960’s, which has revolutionized industries. Within the auto industry, Toyota’s development of just-in-time supply chain management significantly cut costs and led the company to dominate the auto industry for decades, while late adopters fell behind, were acquired, or went bankrupt. Today, the approach to supply chain is shifting away from simple cost reduction. Historically, supply chain managers have kept in mind what Andrew Winston, author of Green to Gold, calls a “narrow range of demands.” He identifies these demands as those to: “stay on the right side of the law, keep operations within regulatory levels of air and water pollution, avoid child labor, and so on.”2 However, with a changing climate and increasingly larger companies doing business around the world, this narrow range has started to expand as companies increasingly look to the supply chain as a potential source of competitive advantage.

Building on sustainability performance in universities, this study aimed to: Identify the procedures deployed by universities to measure sustainability; detect the strengths and weaknesses of the Spanish university system (SUS) sustainability practice; analyse the SUS contributions to sustainability-related Research, Development and Innovation (R&D+I); and assess the efficacy of such practices and procedures as reported in the literature. The indicators of scientific activity were defined by applying scientometric techniques to analyse the journal (Web of Science) and European project (CORDIS) databases, along with reports issued by national institutions. The findings showed that measuring sustainability in the SUS is a very recent endeavour and that one of the strengths is the university community’s engagement with the ideal.
