Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.Check out the 21CD YouTube Channel with dozens of videos on topics relevant to dads raising children with special needs - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzDFCvQimWNEb158ll6Q4cA/videosPlease support the SFN.

Unser heutiger Gast ist als Sohn eines Entwicklungshelfers in Mittelamerika, Afrika und Europa aufgewachsen. So kam er schon früh mit unterschiedlichen Kulturen, Sprachen und Denkweisen in Kontakt. Er ist Doktor der Wirtschaftswissenschaften und er blickt auf eine internationale Managementkarriere, die ihn auf fünf Kontinenten mit inspirierenden Menschen aus aller Welt zusammengebracht hat. Er war Direktor bei Simon-Kucher und Partner, einem der Hidden Champions der Consultingbranche. Danach war er 7 Jahre bei LafargeHolcim, zuletzt als Group SVP, Head of Customer Excellence. Seit ebenfalls 7 Jahren ist er in unterschiedlichen Rollen bei Vitra, seit Januar 2023 als Global Chief Sales Officer. Seit mehr als fünfeinhalb Jahren beschäftigen wir uns mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt - statt ihn zu schwächen. In mehr als 350 Folgen haben wir uns mit über 400 Menschen darüber unterhalten, was sich für sie geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Wir sind uns ganz sicher, dass es gerade jetzt wichtig ist. Denn die Idee von “New Work” wurde während einer echten Krise entwickelt. Welche Rolle spielen Büros in Zukunft und wie müssen wir sie verändern, damit die Menschen sich auch freiwillig wieder an die Orte begeben, der früher alternativlos war. Wir suchen nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen! Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work - heute mit Dr. Roman Ehrhardt.
España es el cuarto país europeo que más carbono emite. El año pasado aumentó sus emisiones de un 3 por ciento mientras Europa las reducía en un 5. España también es el segundo país que menos ha reducido sus emisiones totales en el periodo 1990-2020, con un 8%, frente a otros países con resultados “muy llamativos” tales como Reino Unido (-45 %) y Alemania (-42 %). En el cómputo global, las comunidades autónomas han mostrado comportamientos "muy diferentes", con aumentos de las emisiones de carbono en Asturias, La Rioja, Navarra o Madrid, y reducciones en Aragón, Murcia y las dos Castillas según revela el informe de descarbonización en España 2022. En cuanto a los responsables de las emisiones, estos están muy concentrados ya que son "muy pocas" empresas las que están detrás de una parte "muy importante" del calentamiento global, Las diez compañías más emisoras son Repsol, Endesa, EDP, Arcelormittal, Naturgy, Cepsa, FCC, CEMEX, Iberdrola y Lafargeholcim, responsables en conjunto del 57% de las emisiones del mercado de carbono y del 18,7% del total en España. Por ello el comité científico del Observatorio de Sostenibilidad insiste en la necesidad de introducir soluciones innovadoras y tecnologías para descarbonizar la economía. La rehabilitación integral de los edificios, la seguridad jurídica, el cambio modal en las infraestructuras, los motores eléctricos o la autoproducción son algunas de las propuestas que se plantean como "fundamentales".

Olá. Investidores! No Morning Call de hoje, 26 de agosto, os analistas Bruno Benassi e Fernando Martin irão comentar sobre os seguintes assuntos: A Petrobras (PETR4) fez dois comunicados ao mercado na noite desta quarta-feira (25). O primeiro foi em relação à assinatura do contrato de venda da Refinaria Isaac Sabbá (REMAN) para a Atem Distribuidora de Petróleo. Já no segundo comunicado, a companhia informou que os interessados na venda da Refinaria Abreu e Lima (RNEST), em Pernambuco, não apresentaram proposta vinculante para a compra da refinaria. Ambas as refinarias constam no plano de desinvestimento da Petrobras. A Refinaria Abreu e Lima (RNEST) pode ser considerada um projeto antigo que tinha tudo para obter sucesso, se não fossem as trapalhadas, burocracias, ineficiência e negligência governamental, típico de nosso país. A Refinaria iniciou como um projeto de ampliação da capacidade de refino no Brasil em parceria com a PDVSA (a estatal Venezuelana, atualmente quebrada), com 60 por cento de participação da Petrobras e 40 por cento da PDVSA para a construção. O projeto foi aprovado em setembro de 2005, com orçamento total de 2,3 bilhões de dólares. A CSN Cimentos, da Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSNA3), é apontada como favorita para levar os ativos do Grupo Holcim (antiga LafargeHolcim e maior cimenteira do mundo) no Brasil. A empresa está saindo do país e pretende levantar entre 1 e 1,5 bilhão de dólares com a venda de dez unidades industriais, além de centros de distribuição e pedreiras. Veicula-se no mercado que o Nubank pretende realizar um IPO nos Estados Unidos com um valuation entre 75 e 100 bilhões de dólares, com a intenção de captar um valor entre 3 e 5 bilhões de dólares com a operação. A Procuradoria Federal Especializada da Anatel (PFE), revisou o posicionamento jurídico de 2015, reconhecendo que, tanto o Mercado Livre, bem como outras empresas de comércio eletrônico podem ser responsabilizados administrativamente em casos de comercialização de produtos de telecomunicações não homologados pela agência (produtos piratas) ou em condições diversas das estabelecidas nos requisitos técnicos. A Salesforce (CRM), líder global no segmento de softwares para CRMs, anunciou nesta quarta-feira (26) seus resultados do segundo trimestre do ano fiscal de 2022. Os números vieram bons em todas as linhas, com especial destaque para o lucro por ação e para a revisão do guidance para os próximos trimestres.

Lafarge was providing the unique, 2:43you know, concrete cement mixes for their 3d printers, which they're printing, you know, winter and blade, foundations and towers and all that stuff, actually. So I've watched a pretty cool video, they built the first Habitat for Humanity home down Arizona this past week. So a lot of good stuff coming out of the forest wholesome, but they're teaming up with GE to potentially recycle wind turbine blades. And my big question for you here is, 3:06as you know, an expert in composites. What does this mean for the strength of cement? I mean, it seems like this is probably a really good type of aggregate to mix into ce...

Il s'en est passé des choses hier. Il a été question de fiscalité et de politique environnementale aux États-Unis, de stratégie monétaire en Europe et d'avalanche de publications d'entreprises un peu partout sur la planète. Les marchés financiers ont terminé en ordre dispersé, pendant que les cryptomonnaies piquaient du nez. La dernière séance de la semaine s'ouvre sur de nouvelles annonces de résultats, des puces d'Intel au ciment de LafargeHolcim en passant par les véhicules de Daimler.
U.S. equities tumble with the Dow leading losses on the news that President Biden is set to hike capital gains tax to more than 40 per cent. Biden also held a virtual world leaders’ climate summit where he pledged the U.S. would slash its carbon emissions in half within a decade, reasserting the nation’s commitment to tackling climate change. Meanwhile, the pandemic rages on in India, which saw a record 300,000 new Covid infections for a second straight day. The country’s second wave is reportedly pushing the healthcare system to the brink of collapse, as it is already suffering regional oxygen shortages. In Europe, CNBC learns the EU is eyeing imminent legal proceedings against AstraZeneca’s shortfalls in vaccine deliveries to the bloc. And in earnings news, LafargeHolcim reports a record Q1 on rising sales. The world’s largest cement maker says it expects to reach its 2022 targets a year in advance.

Henrik Lund-Nielsen, founder and General Manager of COBOD International joined us to talk about their company's 3D printing construction technology, and specifically how it might be used in the future to help wind turbines grow taller. GE is in partnership with COBOD, developing the project knowledge to print their own concrete wind turbine bases that can help extend their on-shore turbines. Watch the YouTube version of this podcast here. COBOD has partnered with Peri, a company specializing in construction and formwork, and LafargeHolcim, a leader in cement and materials, helping it rapidly improving its technology and print bigger structures, faster. In this talk we discuss the implications of 3D printed concrete in on-shore applications, off-shore applications, how it can help worker conditions, reduce tariffs and import barriers, as well as get younger generations of construction workers interested in the field. Check out COBOD's YouTube channel for more videos on their 3D printing. This episode is sponsored by Weather Guard Lightning tech.

I'm your cohost, Dan Blewett on today's show. We have a great guest. Henrik Lund-Nielsen is here. He is the founder and general manager of COBOD International. So let's first talk about, uh, the company a little bit. So COBOD is a really interesting, uh, it's a, it's a disruptive 3d construction printing company. So they're creating the technology, the 3d printers themselves to do concrete, 3d printing, which is currently being used for, uh, interest in the general construction sector, building, uh, houses. They built a two story apartment building. Um, so they're capable of building all sorts of structures. There also, this is one of the big things we'll talk about today, uh, in the wind industry building a wind turbine basis so they can build a wider base, uh, onsite that is going to allow wind turbines to get significantly taller because they have that wider base. So that's currently a bottleneck in the construction process of on shore wind. So. It's a really interesting solution COBOD as partnering with GE on the, uh, the winter and base project. Uh, they're also partners with, uh, Lefarge for, which is the largest concrete manufacturer in the world, uh, for their different, um, types of concrete, because it has to be a flowable, um, you know, high strength, like. There's a lot of really interesting things that we'll, we'll talk about today in the show. Um, a lot of interesting aspects to the concrete material itself. You can't just take something off the shelf, uh, from your local hardware store and expect that to work. Um, so there's a lot of high-tech stuff, not just the 3d printer technology itself, but also the materials, like I said, the concrete and the additives to them. And then, uh, you know, just what different types of projects can, can they complete and the architecture of all those really, really fascinating. All right. So a little bit more about our guest today. Henrik Lund-Nielsen.

«Wir wollen der Spitzenreiter sein im nachhaltigen Bauen», so Lafarge-Holcim-Chef, Jan Jenisch. Zwar verzeichnet der Zementkonzern 2020 ein rückläufiges Geschäft, doch 2021 soll anders werden: Lafarge-Holcim geht in diesem Jahr von einem grossen Bauvorhaben und einer guten Nachfrage aus. SMI -1.3%
Equities sell off strongly across Asia with tech stocks being dumped hardest. On Wall Street, the Nasdaq suffers a fall of 3.5 percent - its worst session since October - as the 10-year bond yield rally gathers pace. EU leaders meet virtually to discuss the disorderly rollout of vaccines across the bloc. EC President Ursula Von Der Leyen remains bullish that targets will be met by summer however European Council leader Charles Michel criticises vaccine makers transparency and shaky supply chains. And Swiss construction giant LafargeHolcim says it expects a second-half rebound in demand as global stimulus programmes begin to kick in.
As Schneider Electric and LafargeHolcim issue their first sustainability‐linked bonds, we ask how to tell apart a marketing exercise from a genuine effort to improve. And for Amazon, the transition of founder and CEO, Jeff Bezos into the role of executive chair may have kicked up more questions than answers.

Häuser, Brücken, Tunnels – beim Bau kommt meist Beton zum Einsatz. Der Baustoff hat viele Vorteile, aber auch einen gewichtigen Nachteil: Bei der Produktion entstehen grosse Mengen CO2. Das müsste aber nicht sein. Die Treibhausgas-Emissionen aus dem Bau-Sektor sind in den letzten Jahren stetig gestiegen – vor allem wegen des Einsatzes von Beton. Doch in der Branche macht sich ein Umdenken bemerkbar. Baustoff-Hersteller wie LafargeHolcim geben sich ehrgeizige Klima-Ziele. Patrick Eberhard, ein innovativer Unternehmer im züricherischen Oberglatt, entwickelt sogar Beton, der CO2 aufnimmt. Das begeistert auch Martina Otto von UNO-Umweltprogramm UNEP. «Trend» hat sich das angeschaut und gefragt, ob sich das der neuartige Beton namens Zirkulit auch finanziell rechnet.
Today's podcast episode discusses how innovation in companies do not always lead to the best investments, and we decided to feature none other than the prestigious Annalisa Gigante. Annalisa Gigante has been an award winning innovator for 30 years, with a track record of commercial success, launching and building multi-billion dollar new businesses across different industries from life sciences and chemicals to services and digital technologies. She served as CTO of LafargeHolcim, and was an Executive Committee member at Adecco Group as Chief Business Development and Marketing Officer, both as global leaders in their respective industries. Her career includes international roles in innovation, business management, strategy, and marketing. Her key focus areas are sustainability, digital technologies including AI and IoT, new business models, and building high performing teams. She has been the subject of two Masters’ theses on women top executives, and a recent monograph on Innomniacs. Innovation in companies can come in many different forms, including organizational, technological, or process innovation. But do innovative companies always make great investments? Before you buy shares in a company, it is essential to thoroughly analyze that company’s mission, management, goals, outlook, fundamentals, and so on. Great investors would never buy 100% of a company without thorough research for due diligence, and, likewise, you shouldn’t buy a small percentage of a company without the same.

The idea to pursue vertical farming originated from the book "The Vertical Farm: How to feed the world in the 21st century" by Dr. Dickson Despommier, which Mark read during his exchange semester in Mexico City in 2016. He subsequently wrote his thesis at ETH Zurich on the following topic: "How to integrate Vertical Farming within the Swiss landscape?". The building material manufacturer, LafargeHolcim supported an initial feasibility study of the hypothesis brought forward in the thesis and allowed YASAI to grow. In October 2020, YASAI secured a collaboration with fenaco for a industrial-scale vertical farming pilot project in Zurich through a joint investment of CHF 1.5 m. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/swisspreneur/message

Le Covid-19 va-t-il chambouler nos habitudes de recyclage en Europe ? La pandémie, la crise économique et la chute du prix du pétrole qu'elle a engendrées ont aussi eu pour conséquence la baisse du cours du plastique. En clair, recycler le plastique est, depuis quelques mois, économiquement moins intéressant. Qu'à cela ne tienne, la Slovénie, ce petit pays d'Europe centrale, n'a pas l'intention de perdre son statut d'exemple en la matière. En 2016, le pays a vu sa capitale élue ville verte, car Ljubljana est un modèle en Europe dans le traitement et le recyclage des ordures. 95% de ses déchets triés sont valorisés. La petite taille du pays 2 millions d'habitants facilite les choses, mais n'explique pas tout, comme a pu le constater Frédérique Lebel. À l'opposé de LJubljana, il y a Istanbul, la capitale de la Turquie. Ici aussi, on recycle, mais avec les moyens du bord. L'essentiel du tri repose sur des hommes pour la plupart : les chiffonniers. Ils sont près d'un demi-million dans la capitale turque à trier et récupérer ce qui peut être revendu, le tout sans statut et dans des conditions pénibles. Les explications d'Anne Andlauer. Le plastique, c'est le grand problème. Les plastiques à usage unique surtout. Ils font leur grand retour depuis le début de la pandémie. Que faire de ces déchets souvent impossibles à recycler ? L'Angleterre a peut-être trouvé un début de solution. Cet été, le pays a inauguré sa première route en plastique. En partie en tout cas, puisque ce plastique est mélangé à de l'asphalte. La première voie du genre se trouve dans le nord du pays, mais une autre est en construction dans l’ouest du pays. Un reportage de Marie Billon. Autre source de déchets, les chantiers. Le Grand Paris, l’un des plus grands chantiers d'Europe actuellement avec la construction ou l'extension de cinq lignes de métro autour de la capitale est un bon exemple. 45 millions de tonnes de déblais vont être sortis de terre pour construire les tunnels et les nouvelles gares. La société du Grand Paris promet d'en valoriser au moins 70%. Mais concrètement les régions voisines de l'Île-de-France craignent surtout de devenir la poubelle de ce gigantesque projet. Dans les boucles de la Seine, par exemple, près de Freneuse et de Moisson, la société Lafarge Holcim prévoit de remblayer des carrières avec 750 000m2 de terres en provenance du chantier. Les habitants s'inquiètent. Reportage de Juliette Rengeval. Et comme on a encore un peu la tête en vacances, Alice Debatis de la RTBF nous emmène pour un grand tour à bicyclette : 5 000 km de pistes cyclables sur l'une des pistes du réseau européen Eurovélo. La balade démarre en Norvège pour se terminer à Saint-Jacques de Compostelle en Espagne. En tout, sept pays à traverser avec entre autres les paysages bucoliques de la Belgique.
La fonction achats peut-elle être vertueuse, au-delà des frontières d'une seule entreprise ? Peut-elle contribuer à une création de valeur partagée à l'échelle de tout un écosystème industriel ? Dans cet épisode, Angéline Bizet (Valéo, Air Liquide, LafargeHolcim) dessine une vision constructive d'une fonction souvent réduite à son aspect "cost-killing".

American health authorities confirm a first potential ‘community-spread’ case in northern California and the number of fresh Coronavirus cases reported outside China tops those reported in the country for the first time. President Trump plays down fears of a global pandemic and puts Vice-President Mike Pence in charge of his administration’s response.

The board of Lafarge Africa has reacted to media reports that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating the firm over allegations of poor corporate practices and abuses. In a statement published on the website of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and signed by the Company Secretary, Adewunmi Alode, Lafarge denied ever receiving a letter from SEC that implies the firm is being investigated for any allegation. The Nation in a report disclosed that it obtained evidence of several allegations of infractions and poor practices by Lafarge addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the shareholders of the company in a petition. The petition called for a forensic audit of Lafarge Africa to determine the propriety of the acquisition of Lafarge South Africa, a subsidiary of LafargeHolcim by Lafarge Africa Plc. It also called for the subsequent sale of same Lafarge South Africa to LafargeHolcim after many years of losses that negatively impacted Lafarge Africa, amongst other issues. The petition was reportedly written by the shareholders in a bid to verify the accuracy of the transactions in order to ensure that minority shareholders were not shortchanged. This is due to the fact that such a magnitude of corporate acquisition ought to have involved comprehensive due diligence to forestall the subsequent round-tripping of assets. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support Learn more about your ad choices.
