Stef Heutink ontving dit keer Floyd Krom, Impact Manager bij Impct Agency, in SportBelang. Floyd studeerde in Costa Rica en de VS, waar hij economie en Spaans combineerde met sociaal ondernemerschap. Eerder werkte hij met ondernemers buiten het traditionele financiële systeem en sloot partnerships met organisaties als Univé en Shell. Bij Impct Agency versterkt hij maatschappelijke organisaties en bedrijven met strategie, samenwerking en impactmeting. De belangrijkste thema's die Stef met hem besprak zijn ESG, regelgeving, reputatie en hoe je met de sport in brede zin invulling kan geven. Hoe kijkt Floyd als echte millennial aan tegen reputatie en sport en wat vindt hij bijvoorbeeld van het projectmatige karakter hoe BVO's met maatschappelijke problemen omgaan? Tijdens de uitzending werden ook weer sport, -organisaties en -sponsors langs de reputatiemeetlat gelegd in 'De Stand'. Remon Vonk is senior reputatie- en communicatieadviseur bij IVRM Reputatie en nam deze keer de rubriek voor zijn rekening. Daarnaast belden we dit keer niet met sportmarketeer en IVRM-partner Frank van den Wall Bake, die op vakantie is, maar met IVRM managing director Maarten Halsema. Samen spraken ze over Het Nationale Sportdebat op 8 mei aanstaande. SportBelang: De Kracht van Reputatie wordt elke eerste donderdag van de maand, live tussen 13:00 en 14:00 uur, uitgezonden en is vervolgens in delen beschikbaar als podcast. SportBelang: De Kracht van Reputatie is een radioprogramma van De Radiofabriek en IVRM Sport.

Episode Notes Stories of Sustainability Episode 2: Hannah Clevett, Impact Manager at World of Books, certified B Corp. World of Books Group is a leading global seller of used books online. Leading the way to a circular economy, the brand is a for profit business that supports charities and protects the planet by enabling more goods to be reused. Printed books are still popular as ever. In 2020, the UK printed book market was worth £2.6 bn (387m books), of which 32% of sales were for preloved books. The WOB Foundation launched in 2022, and donates books to charities that work with disadvantaged groups who find it hard to access books such as schools, prisons and women's refuges. Q1Hi Hannah, thanks for joining me today. Please tell us about yourself and WOB. ·         Impact Manager at World of Books, been with the company for over 6 years, within Impact for 18 months. ·         My role is the full ESG – everything from carbon reporting, B Corp certification, and various social initiatives that allow Wob have an even greater impact. ·         Always been passionate about Impact and sustainability, never dreamt it could be a career choice until I started with Wob. A company that is ahead of the game when it comes to sustainability strategy. ·         Wob is circular economy by nature, purchases unwanted used books and media from charity shops and selling on at affordable prices. ·         We are a circular economy, for profit company, that protects the planet and supports charities by helping people to reuse and recycle for less. ·         We have 3 main strands: o    Through Wob we sell o    Through Ziffit we buy – customers can sell back their books to Wob via the Ziffit app. Keeping books in circulation for longer. o   Through Shopiago we support others – Charities are able to trade their stock to Wob through Shopiago. It is also a software service that enable charities to sell their own items online to increase sales. A great example is The British Heart Foundation sold a vintage Cartier watch for £10,000 through their use of Shopiago! o   In total, we have helped charities raise over £55 million through their use of Shopiago! ·         In 2019 we became a B Corp, recently recertified, which really cements our values and helps to guide our sustainability strategy. Q2 Please can explain to our listeners the connection between the circular economy and publishing? ·         We are purchasing unwanted books from charity shops. So these are books that have potentially been read only once, maybe 10 times, or in cases such as within our Rare Book department, hundreds of times! They would be pulped by charities if we didn't buy them for our stock, and open up the possibility to rehome to customers around the world. We feel it is important to keep literature alive and keep books in circulation. ·         We also always refer to sales as rehoming our books, because we don't want it to be the end of the journey for our books. ·         Some of our customers have told us how they buy used books as an affordable option, which helps encourage them to read more and then opens up a whole new world for them. They then begin buy a mix of new and used. ·         It's a tricky relationship for sure – we find that some customers want to buy new books because they feel they are supporting the industry and authors, yet other want to purchase used to save money, and also to feel more eco-conscious. ·         Wob helped found the AuthorShare initiative alongside Society of Authors and various publishers in order to allow royalties to be given to authors from used books sales. This is the first of its kind, and a way to show our support for the author's whilst encouraging people to buy preloved. Q3: Almost 16 million preloved books rehomed via Wob in 2021/22, What are the environmental benefits of buying and selling preloved books, compared to purchasing new ones? ·         By buying preloved items, we are keeping them in circulation and reducing waste. ·         One of our main KPIs that we have always measured against is what the tonnage of books equates to in saving trees. So for our last FY, we saved the equivalent of 516,000 trees through the resale of books! That is a lot more tangible for our customers to understand their impact, rather than quoting carbon numbers. ·         We do measure our carbon impact of course, and we have always reported on our ‘existence' – this is something that is now being termed ‘Avoided Emissions' so we are slightly ahead of the game with that which puts us in a great position to help educate on the impact of buying preloved books. ·         Something we are looking at over the next year, which is really exciting and unique, is to conduct a LCA on used books. This will allow us to put an accurate, science based, amount of carbon saved per item. This will enhance our internal carbon reporting, but really help us to show customers the amazing impact they are having every time they purchase a preloved book, or sell back to Wob through Ziffit. Q4:  WOB saved 79 tonnes of CDs, DVDs and games from landfill. What role does innovation and online platforms play in facilitating the buying and selling of preloved books and mother media with WOB? ·         The fact that we purchase ‘unwanted' books from charity shops and sell them online shows there is a big market out there. ·         We did some research at the beginning of 2022 which shows that 34% of books purchased were preloved, and 55% of those were purchased online! We sell through Wob.com directly, and also platforms such as eBay which are trusted by customers looking at the preloved market. ·         Wob's values are Responsibility, Action and Pioneering – so innovative thinking is celebrated at Wob. All of our internal softwares are developed in-house and we are working around the clock to think of new ways to improve efficiency and impact. Q5:  2/3 of younger consumers (16-24 yrs olds) prefer to shop in the circular economy, citing reduction in environmental footprint as the main reason. How do you engage with this customer segment? ·         With the research we conducted last year, it showed us that 83% of our customers buy preloved books because they feel they are helping the planet. The fact that our customers feel the same as we do is great! ·         We also understand that the majority of our customers are younger, so we reach out to them on social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and FB. We have made carbon neutrality announcements, B Corp recert announcements on these platforms. We have shared our Impact report this way too. ·         The difference in just one year was massive. Our brand team, since using socials to reach out to customers, saw a rise of 240% in impact report views! ·         We also have brand ambassadors that talk about the sustainability benefits of buying from Wob on their own socials which brings in even more younger customers who want to make eco-conscious decisions. ·         By understanding our stakeholders, we are able to present important information transparently, whilst also being engaging. Q6: WOB is now recertified B Corp with an impressive score of 102. Why did WOB decide to gain B Corp certification, and what has the benefit been? ·         YAY! 102 is a massive score boost and we are so proud! It was a year of hard work and the team were incredible! It was so amazing to see how enthusiastic people were take on board actions within their departments and team, in order to boost our score and ultimately have an even greater impact. ·         We certified as a B Corp in 2019 with a score of 84.8. Our business model for 20 years has been circular, but the decision to become a B Corp was the first step to showing our stakeholders how committed we were. ·         As part of our commitment, we are also mission locked – meaning any change in investment must also keep on board our mission and therefore our sustainability strategy is safe. ·         We now build an improvement plan every year, which helps guide us, through the B Impact Assessment, on what we need to do to make things even better at Wob. It has helped us engage staff with our sustainability mission. ·         We have found that being a B Corp has been an attraction for new talent joining Wob. Many of our new starters understand what it means to be a B Corp and are excited to be a part of a company that is doing amazing things. ·         As the B Corp movement grows, particularly within the UK, more consumers are becoming aware of B Corp brands and choosing to purchase from those as trusted sustainable options. We don't have a product on the shelf like other companies, so we rely on our website, emails and socials to promote that side of our business, and so far it is definitely working :)   Q7 Do you have any easy tips that listeners can implement to become a bit more sustainable? Or In what ways can individuals and consumers actively participate in promoting the principles of a circular economy in their daily lives? From a consumer perspective, I would definitely say look out for sustainable brands. Look for companies that are transparent in what they have achieved, look for certifications such as B Corp, Carbon Neutrality. Don't take everything at face value and be sure you check credentials. It sounds tough, but when you start looking it gets so easy to see the truth amongst the greenwashing! Don't feel like you have to commit to everything at once either. Make one new pledge for each year – for example you could pledge to only by used books from Wob for a year!! Or maybe to buy more from charity shops, giving preloved items a new home. Some changes you make can have such a bigger impact than just environmental too. Walking to the shops rather than driving is great for the environment, but also for your mental health too. One of the reasons I enjoy my role as Impact Manager so much is because of the variety! I don't only focus on carbon reporting, or environmental management. I look at social and ethical impact too.   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-clevett-429717112/ WOB: https://www.wob.com/en-gb Stats ·         World of Books Group hits goal of becoming carbon neutral ahead of target ·         Almost 16 million preloved books rehomed via Wob in 2021/22 - the equivalent of1,400 trees every day ·         Plus 79 tonnes (equivalent to 11 double-decker buses) of CDs, DVDs and games saved from landfill by the leading B Corp ·         https://www.wob.com/en-gb/preloved-report             This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Imagine being at a school where 80% of the students look like you…but you're the only one like you who is in the honors and advanced classes. That's where this week's guest, Carlon Howard, found himself as he readied to graduate from high school. And that experience put him on the pathway that landed him as a leader and impact-maker in educational equity.   Carlon has a passion for supporting individuals who feel stuck in cultural narratives due to a lack of equity, inclusivity, and diversity in leadership. And his organization, Equity Institute, is taking what they've created and teaching organizations how to develop these initiatives in their own communities.   In this episode, Carlon and I talk about doing the work in the messy gray space, why teacher pathway programs are so valuable, why schools need support outside the traditional education space, and how he built Equity Institute organically from a place of connection and decompressing.   I love Carlon's philosophy of teaching others to do the work, rather than assuming his organization knows the answers for every situation. We need more of this in leadership roles. About Carlon Howard: Carlon is the Chief Impact Officer and Co-Founder of Equity Institute. In his role, he leads organization-wide strategic and operational planning, ensuring EI's vision is realized through clear prioritization and high-impact operational execution. In addition to helping launch the Equity Institute, he also co-founded re*generation (formerly EduLeaders of Color R.I.). Now an initiative of the Equity Institute, re*generation hosts monthly meetups designed to support education leaders from underrepresented backgrounds.   Before entering his current role with Equity Institute, Carlon was executive director of Breakthrough Providence, served as a City Year AmeriCorps member and Impact Manager, was a classroom teacher, and was a policy fellow for a former Colorado Senator. He graduated from the University of Georgia with undergraduate degrees in criminal justice and political science and completed his graduate degree in education from Rhode Island College. He also earned a graduate certificate in nonprofit management and leadership from the Institute of Nonprofit Practice, in affiliation with Tufts University's Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life. Additionally, he completed formal training as a leadership and performance coach. Outside of his full-time work, Carlon is an adjunct instructor at College Unbound.

Mauritania, one of Africa's largest yet least talked about countries holds a dark secret: slavery. While slavery in various forms continues to exist around the world, in Mauritania its on a massive scale having been woven into the very fabric of society. In fact, the loathsome practice was only criminalized 15 years ago. But whereas the emancipation proclamation and subsequent events in the US eventually led to the visible liberation of milions of people, the new law in Mauritania had no such effect. Indeed, the government quickly moved on from criminalizing the trade to claiming there were no slaves in the country. Those suggesting otherwise risked harassment and arrest while the practitioners of the trade were largely undisturbed. But the situation is starting to improve in part because of the work of organizations such as anti slavery international. An entity founded in 1837 and designed to bring an end to the Atlantic slave trade. Almost two hundreds years later, despite much success, the groups work is not done, as Emma Cain Programme Quality and Impact Manager explained to me.

That's the voice of Egypt Worthy, and the little bodies she's talking about are the third graders she worked with as a City Year Volunteer back in 2016.  National Service is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. Anybody that knows me knows that joining the Jesuit Volunteer Corps myself, after I graduated from Boston College, literally changed the course of my life.Over the years I've encouraged many of my students to choose to step into service because I know the impact it can have when you take that leap of faith and sign on the dotted line. It's not always easy, but leaning into the discomfort changes you. It's the paradox of giving. In the end, it always seems like you get more than you give. That's why I wanted to talk to Egypt. I wanted to understand what motivated her and how serving others shaped the who she is today.

Welcome to Season 2: Episode 3, If you were a fruit…you'd be a fineapple. Season 2 is all about our food system, food access and food justice. In this episode we are joined by Tiare Gill and Jordyn Egbert from City Fruit in Seattle to talk about gleaning, Seattle's historic fruit trees and orchards, and what trees drink.To quickly define gleaning, it is the act of harvesting excess produce that would otherwise go to waste and redistributing it throughout the community. If our local food is wasted, this has a lot of environmental impacts! Gleaning is a very important piece of the food sovereignty puzzle, and we discuss these topics and more in our interview.As with the previous episode, we recorded the interview in May of 2021, so a few of the items are a tiny bit out of date. Again, any references made to ‘last year' mean 2020, while ‘next year' indicates 2022. A couple of updates are in the notes below.IntervieweesTiare Gill is from Oahu, but has spent time in Washington over the past 6 years. She graduated from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA with a bachelor's degree in Biology and Environmental Policy and Decision Making. Post graduation, she was an educator and volunteer mentor at the Slater Museum of Natural History. She currently works for City Fruit as the Community Growth and Impact Manager. In addition, she is currently enrolled as a Master's student in Urban Environmental Education at Antioch University in Seattle. She believes that food is not only a vital component of individual identity, but also community identity and hopes to be able to contribute to food sovereignty efforts in the community.Jordyn Egbert is from both Leavenworth and Seattle, WA. She received a Bachelors of Arts in Environmental Studies from Western Washington University and is pursuing a certificate in Fundraising Management from the University of Washington. She became interested in working with organizations dedicated to addressing food insecurity and reducing food waste while working for the gleaning program at Upper Valley MEND in Leavenworth, and is currently working with City Fruit as the Development and Fundraising Specialist. Jordyn believes access to healthy food is a human right and should be available to every member of our community.PS - you can see actual pictures of Tiare and Jordyn on City Fruit's about us page.City FruitCity Fruit is a gleaning organization in Seattle, WA. They do a lot of work to maintain Seattle's public orchards as well as harvest 45-50 thousand pounds of fruit each year from the public orchards as well as private fruit trees (although they harvested closer to 37 thousand pounds in 2021). They distribute the harvest within the community to both food banks as well as their Fruit-for-All, free fruit pop-up stands. Due to increased demand they went from 16 free fruit pop-up stands in 2020 to 19 in 2021. They also try to distribute fruit within 5 miles of where it was harvested, keeping it hyper local. The free fruit stands are placed in areas that are federally designated food deserts. They also offer education on food systems and STEM. In addition to the free services they offer, private fruit-tree owners can hire City Fruit staff for mulching, pruning, and tree trimming services which helps them fulfill their mission to maintain the health of Seattle's orchards. Tiare and Jordyn define gleaning and talk about why gleaning groups are so important. We discuss the environmental and social impacts of gleaning and how this practice fits in to our larger topic of food sovereignty. Jordyn mentions a 2016 study performed by Ample Harvest discussing just how much food from private gardens is wasted each year in the United States (11.5 BILLION pounds!!!), and how many millions of people that wasted food could feed each year if it were shared (28 million!!!). We're just talking about garden produce here, which is a little mind blowing.Tiare shares bit about the history of Seattle's fruit trees and the stories are fascinating! Some people may not even be aware that Seattle has public orchards. Tiare recommends visiting Piper's Orchard in Carkeek Park to see their wide variety of heirloom apples. The Poop Detective's mind is also blown by the fact that an orchard isn't always a large group of trees planted in rows. We also learn that Jen and Amy never argue… I mean discuss… :) Tiare talks about a mapping project the City of Seattle is working on tracking the location of fruit trees and the Magical Mapper maybe gets a little too excited about the human geography of it all. City Fruit is a small nonprofit organization. Funding comes from their private tree care services, individual donations, and their membership program. City Fruit relies a lot on volunteers, so if you'd like to help out you can find more information or sign up here. There are not only options for harvesting, but for peer-to-peer fundraising, tabling at farmers markets and other events, and becoming community ambassadors. If you live inside Seattle city limits, you can register your tree with City Fruit which helps them track historic orchards and document the abundance Seattle's fruit trees. If you're interested, you can offer your fruit tree for gleaning. If your tree is registered it may or may not be harvested, based on staff resources as well as community demand for the type of fruit you have.If you're not in Seattle, there are gleaning groups all over. There's even an interactive map to find a group near you! There's also an app where you can share your excess bounty with local hunger relief organizations - it's called Fresh Food Connect.To wrap up and tie things back to our topic this season; in Seattle, this program alone saves about 45-50 thousand pounds of fruit from going to waste each year (closer to 37 thousand pounds in 2021); it is hyperlocal so uses fewer resources for packaging, transport, advertising, and other environmentally harmful aspects of the traditional commercial food system; fruit is typically distributed within 5 miles of where it was harvested, and is distributed in federally recognized food deserts; and food that would otherwise go to waste is now making it to people experiencing food insecurity. By the way, you'll have to listen to the episode to find out what trees drink!Please join us on Tuesday, February 15 for episode 4 of this season. We'll be talking to Holli Prohaska of the Urban Farm Collective in Portland, an organization that turns vacant city lots into urban farms where volunteers can barter their time for fresh garden produce.Please don't forget to rate, review and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts (like Tune In, Castbox Himalaya, iheartradio, etc).
