Het (inmiddels ingetrokken) bod van Kraft Heinz om Unilever te kopen heeft nog eens duidelijk gemaakt hoe de topman van Unilever en onder andere voorzitter van de World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Paul Polman, moet balanceren tussen korte – aandeelhouderswaarde – en lange termijn – duurzaam – beleid (de Volkskrant, 4 maart 2017). Iets dergelijks ondervond AkzoNobel's toenmalige topman Ton Büchner toen hij het overnamebod van zijn Amerikaanse concurrent PPG afwees vanuit een 'multistakeholder'-benadering vanwege financiële risico's en 'het nadeel (…) voor de bijdrage van AkzoNobel aan het thema duurzaamheid' (Het Financieele Dagblad, 10 maart 2017). In dezelfde periode, zeker niet toevallig in verkiezingstijd, deden Philips, Ahold, Shell en Friesland Campina op initiatief van Unilever al een oproep aan het bedrijfsleven voor een modernisering van de economie door een 'positieve, alternatieve visie op lange termijn inzake voeding, water, vergrijzing, urbanisatie en duurzame energie' (de Volkskrant, 13 februari 2017). Dit onder het motto 'Global Problems. Dutch Solutions'. Zie ook in dit verband het SER-convenant Internationaal Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Ondernemen (IMVO), gericht op arbeids- en mensenrechten, en het delen van kennis en ervaring daarover. Dat werd oktober 2016 gesloten door dertien banken, Buitenlandse Zaken, Financiën, werkgevers, werknemers en ngo's, met banken als 'corporate citizen' met 'hun maatschappelijke verantwoordelijkheid', aldus medeondertekenaar minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem (SER Magazine, november 2016). Overigens werd in juli 2016 ook een dergelijk convenant getekend voor de textiel- en kledingsector.

The number of consumers with green awareness have grown these days and as a result they have turned to purchase eco-friendly products. For this reason, this study aims to propose a method for eco-design based on the anticipatory failure determination method to develop eco-design products. By using eco-design concepts adopted from the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, the process will limit the failures and issues related to environmental impact in product design. The proposed method for eco-design product in this study follows the following procedure. First, we analyze product failure. Second, we propose the determination of the non-green phenomenon of the failure. Thirdly, we integrate the intensified non-green phenomenon to generate non-green hypotheses and fourthly, we eliminate each non-green phenomenon hypothesis by introducing the contradiction matrix of TRIZ for obtaining solutions. Finally, we assess alternative eco-design solutions by evaluation. To verify the practicality of the new procedure, a washing machine is used as an example for illustration.

Development Goals

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which began in 2000 with 8 goal points, have not been able to solve the global problems. The MDGs were developed into Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 with 17 targeted goal points achieved in 2030. Until now, methods for determining the priority of SDGs are still attractive to researchers. Centrality is one of the tools in determining the priority goal points on a network by using graph theory. There are four measurements of centrality used in this paper, namely degree centrality, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, and eigenvector centrality. The calculation results obtained from the four measurements are compared, analyzed, to conclud which goal points are the most prior and the least prior. From the results obtained the most priority goal points in Sustainable Development Goals.

Global Agenda

Achievement of sustainable development that meets the needs of the present day without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, increasingly becoming a global agenda in addressing economic, environmental and social problems. This study raises the question of the possibility to achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goals on the basis of involving young people into entrepreneurial projects. The object of the study is an international Enactus program, which originated in the US and now brings together students and business leaders in 36 countries (including Poland and Russia). The research methodology is based on the Triple Bottom Line Conception (a way of accounting factors in economic, environmental, and social impacts) and includes analysis of literature, comparison, generalization, content analysis, and the processing of empirical data obtained during interviewing Enactus students. The main findings of the study include the analysis of Enactus projects in terms of their relevance to the concept of sustainable development and the UN goals. The contribution of projects to the sustainable development of the world community has been assessed. On the basis of successful Tomsk State University experience substantiates the need to form joint international economic, ecological and social projects to solve current global problems more effectively.

: The development of effective technologies to cope with persistent and progressive global problems in the areas of human health and sustainable development has become an imperative worldwide challenge. The search for natural alternatives has led to the discovery of bacteriocins, which are potent protein antimicrobial compounds produced by most bacteria. The relevance of these molecules is evidenced by the more than 4,500 papers published in the last decade in Scopus index journals highlighting their versatility and potential to impact various aspects of daily life, including the food industry, medicine, and agriculture. Bacteriocins have demonstrated antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anticancer activity, and they also act as microbiota regulators and plant growth promoters. This mini-review aims to provide insights into the current state and emerging roles of bacteriocins, as well as their potential and limitations as feasible solutions against current diverse global problems.
