This document summarizes a research paper from the International Journal of Management that examines the prominence of stakeholder involvement in designing sustainability reporting practices based on GRI G4 guidelines. The summary includes:
1) Sustainability reporting involves integrating social, environmental, and economic concerns and stakeholder feedback is an important part of the process.
2) The G4 guidelines highlight the importance of stakeholder engagement throughout the sustainability reporting process, from the design stage to the reporting period.
3) By following G4 guidelines and meaningfully engaging stakeholders, organizations can improve their sustainability practices, mitigate risks, and strengthen relationships with important stakeholder groups.
Sustainability reporting is the practice of measuring, disclosing and being accountable for an organization's economic, environmental and social impacts. It allows companies to benchmark performance, demonstrate transparency and compare themselves to others. The Global Reporting Initiative developed a sustainability reporting framework to standardize reporting and provide guidance on strategy, management approach and performance indicators. Effective sustainability reporting can help companies access new markets, attract investment and improve relationships with stakeholders. However, barriers include unclear standards, resource constraints and lack of management support.
The deck sets the scene by introducing the current sustainability context, the Global Reporting Initiative's (GRI- https://www.globalreporting.org/Pages/default.aspx) role in providing metrics for measuring and communicating on sustainability performance and impacts. With numerous reporting requirements out there for organizations to comply with, the deck also explains GRI's collaborative efforts in aligning with other Frameworks.
The presentation was made during the April 2013 'CSR and Sustainability in extractive and energy industries. UK global expertise' week in London. The audience was comprised of representatives from the Oil and Gas and Mining sectors, from Russia and Kazakhstan, who were relatively new to sustainability reporting. The deck puts forward the business case for reporting on sustainability performance and impacts, and includes brief sector-specific information on sustainability reporting trends in those two sectors.
Besides providing a framework for organizations to use, GRI also offer support and guidance - what this means exactly is clarified in the deck.

AAMC2019 - Integrated Reporting's 6 Capitals Scoring Index Towards Firm Finan...Dayana Mastura FCCA CA
This document outlines a study on the relationship between integrated reporting practices and firm performance of oil and gas companies in Malaysia. Specifically, it examines how disclosure levels of the six capitals (financial, manufactured, intellectual, human, social/relationship, and natural) outlined in integrated reports impact return on equity and return on assets. It develops hypotheses that greater six capitals disclosure will positively impact performance and that women board representation will positively moderate this relationship. The methodology involves content analysis of annual reports to develop scoring indexes for six capitals disclosure, and regression analysis. Preliminary results find financial and manufactured capitals are most disclosed while human and natural capitals lag, and that the hypotheses are not supported given low overall disclosure levels in the sample.

Sustainability indices evaluate companies' sustainability performance and environmental policies. They aim to inform investors about socially responsible investment opportunities. Major sustainability indices include the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, FTSE4Good, and MSCI Global Sustainability Index. Benchmarking compares company practices to industry best practices for continuous improvement. Sustainability benchmarking identifies environmental, social and economic indicators, gathers raw data, and analyzes trends to assess performance across the triple bottom line of people, planet and profit.
Despite continued uncertain economic conditions, most companies remain persuaded that there is a strong causal link between their financial performance over a 5-10 year time horizon and their current commitment to improving their environmental, social and governance performance.
Against this background, a number of business leaders are reviewing their approach to sustainability, weighing new corporate strategies and new business models in efforts to ensure their long-term sustainability.

Pwm control strategies for multilevel inverters based on carrier redistributi...IAEME Publication
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes three new PWM control strategies for multilevel inverters based on carrier redistribution techniques. The strategies are called Alternate Phase Opposition Disposition (APOD), Phase Opposition Disposition (POD), and Phase Disposition (PD). They utilize the control freedom degree of vertical offsets among carriers. Simulation results are presented to validate the proposed PWM techniques and demonstrate their effectiveness in reducing total harmonic distortion compared to existing control schemes.
This document summarizes an integrated power control strategy for permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based wind energy conversion systems (WECS) under different grid conditions. The strategy uses the generator-side converter's DC-link voltage to control the generator and the grid-side converter to control active power injected into the grid. It can satisfy grid code requirements for both active and reactive current injection while also mitigating current distortion during unsymmetrical grid faults. Compared to traditional strategies, the proposed strategy does not require a DC chopper to help ride through faults and provides faster and more accurate recovery of grid electrical responses. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed integrated power control strategy under various grid fault conditions.
- Artificial neural networks (ANNs) cannot perform better than statistical methods when analyzing independent stochastic data or events, as ANNs learn from patterns in training data rather than understanding the underlying probabilities.
- Examples of independent stochastic systems that ANNs cannot improve upon include coin flips, particle distribution in a closed room, salt dissolution in water, and casino games like roulette which are purely statistical.
- While ANNs have been applied to problems involving spectroscopic data, they cannot produce more accurate results than statistical analysis as spectroscopic techniques also involve independent stochastic interactions at a subatomic level.

Partially Lateritised Khondalite (PLK) rocks are the bauxite mining waste materials
generated during mining and dumped at the mining site, create environmental pollution. These waste
rocks can be utilized as filler materials for different industrial applications after grinding to suitable
mesh size. Thermal shock treatment on ore is used for grain boundary breakage and size reduction,
due to thermal shock treatment the surface adsorbed gangue minerals also releases and expose new
surface area in the ore. Comminution study is used after this treatment for further reduction in size.
In comminution study, ball mill has good selective grinding performance. This paper deals with the
effect of thermal shock treatment on grinding characteristics of PLK rock and the overall energy
savings achieved. Alumina based filler/ceramic materials were used in different industries. Thermal
shock of the samples was evaluated using water quench test. Surface deterioration level of samples
was monitored by image analysis before and after quenching. A total energy saving of the order of
52.8 % could be achieved when a sample preheated at 1123 K for 60 minutes followed by coldwater
quenching and grinding.

This document discusses two techniques for reducing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems: selected mapping (SLM) and nonlinear companding transform (NCT). SLM is analyzed where the input data is multiplied by a Hadamard matrix and phase sequences before taking the inverse fast Fourier transform to generate multiple candidate signals, and the one with the lowest PAPR is selected for transmission. NCT works by compressing peak signals and expanding low signals to modify the statistical characteristics and reduce PAPR. The document evaluates the performance of these two techniques and concludes they can both effectively reduce PAPR compared to conventional OFDM.

What is the global reporting initiative?dean771100
What is the Global Reporting Initiative?
The GRI is a global standard for sustainability reporting designed by organizations and investors to measure business performance. The GRI has been adopted as a requirement by leading institutional investors, government regulators and development organizations around the world. It sets out a universal framework for sustainability reporting based on the shared understanding that such information can provide new insights into how companies operate and their contribution to sustainable development.
Sustainability reporting guidelines are essential tools for businesses committed to responsible corporate citizenship. As companies worldwide increasingly recognize the value of transparency and accountability in driving sustainable growth, these guidelines have emerged as crucial components of modern business practices. By understanding and implementing comprehensive sustainability guidelines within your organization, you can effectively demonstrate your commitment to sustainability, enhance stakeholder relations, and contribute to a more sustainable global economy.
This document discusses sustainability reporting. It defines sustainability reports as disclosures about an organization's economic, environmental, and social impacts that are integrated with corporate reporting. Sustainability reports reveal the relationship between strategy and commitment to sustainability. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) establishes standards for sustainability reporting, dividing standards into general disclosures and topic-specific standards covering economic, environmental and social impacts. Regulations in some countries require certain organizations to publish sustainability reports.

This document discusses corporate sustainability reporting and provides a case study comparing the reports of Toyota and Honda. It begins with background on the importance and growth of sustainability reporting globally. Companies are increasingly encouraged to report on non-financial issues due to investor and public pressure. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) publishes guidelines that are widely used for sustainability reporting. The document then analyzes the sustainability reports of Toyota and Honda to understand how they disclose information and compare their approaches, hypothesizing that their reasons and formats for reporting will differ despite both being automakers.
This document discusses various topics related to sustainability reporting and integrated reporting. It begins with definitions of sustainable development, accounting and disclosure, corporate social responsibility, and corporate sustainability reporting. It then explains integrated reporting and the Integrated Reporting Framework developed by the International Integrated Reporting Council. The document notes debates around sustainability reporting versus integrated reporting and calls for organizations to pursue further knowledge and propose new perspectives to advance reporting and sustainability.
The document summarizes the state of sustainability reporting in India based on a study of 46 sustainability reports from Indian companies. It finds that while sustainability reporting has grown in India, most companies still report using the GRI's core option rather than the comprehensive option. However, some sectors like cement show a preference for the comprehensive option. Overall, Indian companies are still cautious about disclosing sustainability aspects. The document also discusses how the strategy and analysis section of sustainability reports is increasingly important to provide information on sustainability risks and opportunities to stakeholders.

It emphasizes that materiality matrices can help companies optimize their sustainability strategies by prioritizing the ESG issues most relevant to their business and value chain.
This document introduces the Value Driver Model as a tool for companies to communicate the business value of sustainability to investors. The model focuses on measuring the impact of sustainability on three key value drivers: 1) Sustainability-advantaged growth (S/G), which measures revenue from sustainable products/services. 2) Sustainability-driven productivity (S/P), which measures cost savings from sustainability initiatives. 3) Sustainability-related risk management (S/R), which measures performance on sustainability risks. The goal is to quantify how sustainable business strategies impact financial results like revenues and costs. Case studies show some companies already using this approach successfully.
The report summarizes the findings of a survey of 42 major retail companies on their sustainability programs and practices. It finds that while 30% of respondents have only one executive dedicated to sustainability, 20% have six or more people on their sustainability teams. Most common titles for sustainability leads are Senior Director, Director, and Vice President. Survey respondents indicated their sustainability programs provide benefits such as innovation, risk mitigation, and brand enhancement. Budgets for sustainability mostly stayed the same in 2015, with 30% increasing, and the typical payback period required for sustainability projects is 2-3 years.
The document introduces the concept of integrated performance management (IPM), which aims to address financial, social, and environmental aspects of business performance equally. IPM follows a plan-do-check-act management cycle to develop strategy, implement key performance indicators, monitor progress, and use results to improve decisions. Companies are moving to IPM to comply with regulations, manage risks, meet investor demands, and attract employees. The document analyzes IPM practices at 16 major companies and defines key concepts like business value, materiality, and methodology.
The document discusses 7 best practices for sustainability that have helped organizations stay at the leading edge. These practices include: 1) setting sustainability goals and measuring success, 2) stakeholder engagement, 3) sustainability issues mapping, 4) sustainability management systems, 5) product life cycle assessment and design, 6) sustainability reporting, and 7) integrating sustainability into brands. It argues that while sustainability can generate revenue and reduce costs, most organizations are not taking full advantage of these tools and should prioritize implementing as many of these practices as possible to improve.
Material Engagement (with suppliment included)Nawar Alsaadi
The document discusses the concept of "Material Engagement" which involves identifying priority UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), scanning them against the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board's (SASB) materiality map, and identifying laggard companies within relevant sectors. It recommends engaging with companies using an 8-step process to define the engagement scope, set key performance indicators and milestones, select an engagement approach, and establish an escalation strategy. The goal is to focus engagement efforts on the most financially material ESG issues as defined by SASB in order to drive tangible outcomes through the identified ESG transmission channels and progress on priority SDGs.
This document discusses corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting and sustainability reporting. It explains that CSR reporting involves systematically evaluating an organization's social, ethical, and environmental performance, and can be done against the organization's own standards or external standards. Sustainability reporting measures and discloses how organizations contribute to sustainable development goals. The Global Reporting Initiative provides global standards for sustainability reporting and offers three levels (C, B, A) for how extensively organizations apply the standards. Reports should cover material topics that substantially influence stakeholder assessments. Examples are given of different types of corporate reports from various companies that address social and environmental impacts.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees. By associating Emotional Intelligence (EI) along with Talent Management (TM) in the IT industry, the rise in attrition rate was analyzed in this study. Only 303 respondents were collected out of 350 participants to whom questionnaires were distributed. From the employees of IT organizations located in Bangalore (India), the data were congregated.

Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MECHANICAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL RELATION OF NYLON/BaSO4 POL...IAEME Publication
An experiment conducted in this study found that BaSO4 changed Nylon 6's mechanical properties. By changing the weight ratios, BaSO4 was used to make Nylon 6. This Researcher looked into how hard Nylon-6/BaSO4 composites are and how well they wear. Experiments were done based on Taguchi design L9. Nylon-6/BaSO4 composites can be tested for their hardness number using a Rockwell hardness testing apparatus. On Nylon/BaSO4, the wear behavior was measured by a wear monitor, pinon-disc friction by varying reinforcement, sliding speed, and sliding distance, and the microstructure of the crack surfaces was observed by SEM. This study provides significant contributions to ultimate strength by increasing BaSO4 content up to 16% in the composites, and sliding speed contributes 72.45% to the wear rate
ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

It applies a nonagonal fuzzy number to analyse the relevant performance of a multiple channel queuing model (M/M/C) ( /FCFS). Based on the sub interval average ranking method for nonagonal fuzzy number, we convert fuzzy number to crisp one. Numerical results reveal that the efficiency of this method. Intuitively, the fuzzy environment adapts well to a multiple channel queuing models (M/M/C) ( /FCFS) are very well.
Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
