Article 13, the corporate responsibility specialists, announced the launch of a new four-part series on the elements, earth, wind, water and fire.
June 26, 2007 (Press Release) --
The updates will explore the threats each of the elements currently faces and how they threaten us. The series will also assess how both business and government are taking steps to deal with the issues.
The element series commences with the earth. With the world’s population continuing to grow, we must ask whether the earth can continue to accommodate the demands placed on it. We, therefore, examine the current state of agriculture. Food is being produced more efficiently and at a lower cost than ever before, but at what cost to the environment, to developing countries and human health.

In the accompanying briefing papers, we look at the whole area of consumption. Our desire to consume both food and possessions goes far beyond need. What drives us and what can businesses do to encourage more responsible behaviour? Not surprisingly, our consumption habit produces a lot of waste, particularly food waste. Until recently a hidden problem, it is now recognised and retailers are getting on board.

Our CSR best practice case studies examine different ways of reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfill. Biffa Waste Services is striving to turn waste into fuel while Sainsbury’s is leading the way in its use of compostable packaging.
