  • UWC Refugee Initiative: Supporting 100 Young Refugees Per Year to Become Tomorrow’S Changemakers
    UWC Refugee Initiative: Supporting 100 young refugees per year to become tomorrow’s changemakers “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela Honorary President, UWC THE UWC REFUGEE INITIATIVE IN A NUTSHELL Lack of access to education is a major issue affecting young refugees, internally displaced and persecuted people. They are five times more likely to be out of school than more fortunate young people. But refugee communities need future leaders with strong abilities, social consciousness and a drive for peace and reconciliation. We must therefore ensure that young refugees have access to quality secondary education. UWC wants to support this. Our target is to provide one hundred scholarships per year for young refugees to attend one of the 17 UWC schools and colleges worldwide. We know that young refugees have outstanding talent. They have proven extraordinary resilience in dealing with their challenging circumstances. We want to support them with a world-class education which will enable them to become change-makers for a more peaceful and just future. “I was born and raised in a refugee camp at the end of the world, in a forgotten and impossible to reach corner of the great African desert. Yet, UWC put the time and the effort to reach that part of the world, and now here I am”. Bachir Abeid from the Smara refugee camp in Algeria, UWC Costa Rica (2013), Brown University (2017). REFUGEE CRISES IN NUMBERS THE REFUGEE SITUATION: THE CHALLENGE OF OUR TIME An unprecedented 65.3 million people around the world have been forced from home.

  • Alternativism' a L T E R N a T I V I S M Is a State of Mind, a Readiness to Experiment, a Commitment to Think and Act Differently
    N A T I V I S M MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA LTD. SUSTAINABILITY REPORT FY 2018-19 The biggest barrier to mass adoption of sustainability is not consumer awareness or attitudes. There is overwhelming evidence demonstrating the public’s desire to address climate change through their daily behaviour and choices. The bottleneck is the non-availability of alternatives that are sustainable, viable, accessible and affordable. The lack of alternatives is in part exacerbated by conventional, orthodox thinking being applied to environmental and social issues. Rather than existing business models and approaches, true sustainability will only be achieved through unconventional, alternative thinking, with respect to living styles, business models, production, materials, infrastructure, commercial propositions, valuations, etc. TRUE 'ALTERNATIVISM' A L T E R N A T I V I S M IS A STATE OF MIND, A READINESS TO EXPERIMENT, A COMMITMENT TO THINK AND ACT DIFFERENTLY.

  • Sustainability Review 2014-15
    Sustainability Review 2014-15 From embedding sustainability as a business driver across the Group to empowering individual businesses to drive sustainability, within eight years, we have successfully cascaded sustainability from a boardroom vision to a shop oor reality. Powered by Alternative Thinking - our bespoke approach to sustainability, we enhanced awareness, expounded a strong business case to employees, institutionalised frameworks, invested in capacity building plus rewarded and recognised outstanding performers. The road to sustainability is fraught with obstacles - some have to be overcome with innovation, some with determination, and some simply by perseverance. But as we overcome each obstacle, we come across doors of opportunities with multiple outcomes that take us to the next level. This thought is graphically represented in this design theme. The upward moving transverse lines represent the Group's ambitions. The pillars of myriad colours are the roadmaps of individual businesses. While the ones in red are symbolic of Mahindra's Rise for Good philosophy that continues to guide them all. BUSINESSWISE is the next phase in our sustainability journey. In it, every individual business is driving the sustainability agenda on issues material to their stakeholders and aiming to set new benchmarks within their sector and geographies. It is like pursuing the sustainability agenda with independent teams who are not only committed but capable and experienced. This enlarged team, new vigour, focus and greater ownership has created
