Waste-free living: from gadgets that list themselves on eBay to lidless bottles

Our throwaway habits are wreaking havoc on the planet. Here are six ideas from designers working to reduce waste in our everyday lives

Modern life is wasteful. From the plastic packaging that fills our kitchens – and ends up in our oceans – to the 40m tons of e-waste we generate per year, our throwaway culture is alive and kicking. And it’s wreaking havoc on the planet.

When corporate cultures clash: defining company values across borders

For Molson Coors, Nike, Coca-Cola and other companies operating in different countries, social responsibility can be a tool for self-definition – and a way to exchange cultural values

From ethics to etiquette, fashions to values, cultural norms vary vastly from place to place – and companies that ignore the differences do so at their own peril. But what if a company is caught between two communities – and two sets of community values? For companies that manufacture products in one country and sell them in another, balancing the ethics and moral values of two cultures can be a delicate dance of give and take, with lessons for both sides.

There’s a very real impetus for companies to make corporate social responsibility (CSR) work: developed-world customers often respond harshly to companies that they perceive as coming up short on social responsibility. As a UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs report noted, a large amount of CSR has been “driven by the concerns of investors, companies, campaign groups and consumers in the world’s richest countries”. In other words, as developed-world consumers and communities have called for greater corporate responsibility from their preferred brands, companies have responded with actions that, the report notes, have become important for reducing poverty in middle- and low-income nations.

Impact of GST on Role/Work of Professionals (CA, CS, CWA)

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
The introduction of GST will have a magnanimous impact as each and every business will be affected. The entire framework of indirect taxation will change ranging from the nature of levy, rate of taxes and administration of the taxes. Introduction of GST should rationalize the tax content in product price, enhance the ability of business entities to compete globally, and possibly trickle down to benefit the ultimate consumer. GST will have a crippling effect on the prices of all the goods and services in India. Amid this huge impact, lies an enormous opportunity for the professionals.
