ESG-Centriq

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) became increasingly important in the business world as companies recognize the need to address sustainability, social responsibility and ethical practices. Many new trends in management align with ESG principles:​

➡Sustainable Operations: companies are adopting environmentally friendly practices such as reducing carbon emissions, minimizing waste, and conserving resources. This trend involves incorporating renewable energy sources, implementing circular economy principles, and promoting responsible supply chain management.​
➡Stakeholder Engagement: reconsidering the needs of various stakeholders, including employees, customers, communities, and investors. Effective stakeholder engagement involves transparent communication, active listening, and addressing social concerns. ​

Sustainable bricks made of coffee are an innovative and eco-friendly alternative to traditional clay bricks. These bricks are created by incorporating coffee grounds into the manufacturing process, offering several benefits:​
👉waste utilization: coffee grounds are a byproduct of the coffee industry and are typically discarded as waste. This waste material is repurposed, reducing the environmental impact associated with its disposal.​
👉energy conservation: coffee bricks often require lower firing temperatures compared to traditional clay bricks. This saves energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.​
👉insulating properties: coffee bricks tend to have improved thermal insulation properties compared to conventional bricks. They act as natural insulators, regulate temperature and reduce energy consumption for heating or cooling in buildings.​

We move to Stage 4 in our maturity assessment: and we give you our super-star who has focused on long-term sustainability and socio-environmental issues long ago – before it became mandatory.
He has integrated eco-innovation at all levels of the organization. He is appreciated for his recognition and empowerment mechanisms developed to motivate employees and stimulate innovation and environmental awareness.
He is known for stimulating the communities of practice, entrepreneurship and organizational learning through technology and shared RD&I.
