The Guardian and AAA back Oikocredit impact investment fund

Leave a comment

A fund offering investors 2 per cent returns on ethical, socially responsible investment projects has won backing from The Guardian and AAA.

Boston, MA, USA, March 06, 2012 — A fund offering investors 2 per cent returns on ethical, socially responsible investment projects has won backing from The Guardian and Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

The newspaper and the alternative investment advocacy group are both supporting the Oikocredit investment fund, which is based in the Netherlands and provides small loans to help people living in developing countries. A recent article in the broadsheet explained that Oikocredit was first launched as a faith-based fund back in 1975, but that its roots do not affect the investment decisions it makes.

The fund started off facilitating churches’ loans to marginalised people in developing countries. It now offers “life changing” loans to projects and people in countries including Uganda and the Ivory Coast. One of the projects it has helped is the Cocovico women’s market, which was set up in 2008 by a group of village women in order to help them sell their produce without paying the fees charged by other markets.

Investors can expect a modest annual return a well as the knowledge that their cash is helping to change lives of vulnerable people all over the world. AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson said, “We fully support these kinds of small-scale loan projects in the developing world as the model has worked so well for so many people.”

“Many entrepreneurs and small businesses owners in less economically and politically sound countries have no access to finance at all, and therefore, their ideas and business often fall at the first hurdle. Impact investing project such as these truly create a win-win situation.”

AAA is an advocacy and research organisation that promotes ethical and alternative investments of many kinds. Not least investment in forestry as both a profitable and ethically sound option. An example is the sustainable plantation projects run by Greenwood Management in Brazil.

Ecotech’s “Women in Renewable Energy” Club Mirrors Dept of Labor Push to Get Women into Green Jobs

Leave a comment

“Why Green Is Your Color: A Woman’s Guide to a Sustainable Career” Offers Insights for Exploring a Green Career Path

Denver, CO, March 06, 2012 – Historically men have dominated green jobs, yet a new report is trying to shift the tides. The report recently released by the Department of Labor, “Why Green Is Your Color: A Woman’s Guide to a Sustainable Career,” highlights the fact that green jobs tend to be dominated by men, yet opportunities abound for women as well. It has been noticed as well by Ecotech Institute, the first and only college entirely focused on preparing America’s workforce for careers in renewable energy and sustainability. In fact, the school held its first “Women in Renewable Energy” (WIRE) meeting on February 16 to bring together women at the campus to share ideas, help each other with classwork and empower one another as they embark on a green career.

Ecotech is seeing increasingly more women interested in the green revolution and it is a trend the Labor Department wants to see continue. The Labor Department states that according to The National Center for O*NET Development, several green occupations are “Bright Outlook” occupations, meaning they are expected to grow rapidly from 2008 – 2018, with a combined increase of 100,000 or more job openings. Some jobs designated as “Bright Outlook” are wind turbine service technicians, solar photovoltaic installers and recycling coordinators.

The impetus for the report was in support of Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis’s vision of “Good Jobs for Everyone.” The downloadable green jobs guide is designed to help women learn about the opportunities available in the renewable energy space, which they may not have previously considered. According to the report synopsis, “The guide was created to help women at all stages of their careers — whether they are newly entering the workforce, transitioning to new careers, or returning to the workforce — identify and take advantage of opportunities in the clean energy economy.”

“We are focused on making Ecotech a welcoming environment for women because we know they have a lot to offer in current and emerging green careers,” said Susan Pawlak, Ecotech’s Director of Career Services. “Our Women in Renewable Energy Club is just one way that Ecotech encourages women to make a mark in wind, solar, renewable energy and other industries alongside their male colleagues.”

The club held elections on February 23 and the new leaders are tasked with growing the club’s membership and educating more women about careers in sustainability. Tiffany Burton, an Electrical Engineering Technology instructor, is the academic advisor; Suzanne Colton, Senior Recruiter for NextEra Energy Resources is the industry advisor; and Susan Pawlak, Ecotech’s Director of Career Services, is a general advisor.

Ecotech’s curriculum is built to address both job-specific technical training and soft skills (e.g. communication, work ethic and teamwork), which employers demand, through comprehensive coursework and state-of-the-art labs. The Labor Department report parallels Ecotech’s vision for job training and is chock-full of applicable information that defines what a green career really is, explains why there is a growing need for trained professionals, and outlines what training is necessary.

“We have dynamic, driven women in both leadership and student roles at Ecotech and they send an important message of encouragement that females have a promising future in renewable careers,” said Mike Seifert, president of Ecotech Institute.

Tough economic times call for a fresh sales approach that gets prospects to see the value of your offer and return your calls. In this webinar, Jill will present some fresh ideas to help you close new business, including:

– How to amplify your prospecting platform.
– How to create new sales opportunities where none existed before.
– How to shrink the time it takes to get a sale.
– How to craft sales prospecting campaigns that cannot be ignored.
– How to get sales first, before the competition steps in.
– How to optimize your personal effectiveness.

BusinessVibes explains How Events can Help grow your Business

Leave a comment

Here are the top 10 reasons why attending offline events or conferences are good for business.

London, UK, March 06, 2012 — With the booming trend of digital-marketing or e-commerce, it is no doubt that online business has become more and more important and efficient than any other forms of business. However, many experts and professionals also point out the irreplaceable characteristics for some offline business, especially the offline events and conferences. Here are the top 10 reasons why attending offline events or conferences are good for business:

10. Getting out of the office is always good for knowing your business environment. During the events or the conferences, you can actually build the direct connection with the people, products, new trend and the whole business environment. You can actually see and feel what is really happening in your business, and that is something you can never get from sitting in the office and staring at your computer screen.

9. Being more focused on business. Attending the event or conference, talking with other attendees or presenter is in fact the least distractive way to deal with your business, because being in the event or conference is almost impossible to multi-task, which is good for the consistent thinking and productivity. It is totally different situation from a webinar where attendees can still handle email, instant message, phone calls and so on.

8. Face to face communication is always better then online encounters. It is the truth that talking to people face to face is always much easier and more efficient than contacting them via email or even the phone.

7. Attending the event or conference allows you to meet the key personnel in the business. Directly meeting up with the leaders or the crucial personnel is definitely desirable for your business, and offline event or conference is definitely providing you the best opportunity to meet up with them.

6. Events and conferences always make you learn. Attending the event is actually a good test for your products or business strategies that you can always learn and improve during the event. Moreover, events also allow you to learn from your partners and competitors in the same time.

5. Being around with people in the same business could be inspirational. Event and conference are good opportunities to gather the like-minded people in the same business, which means more inspirational interacts and communications.

4. Attending events can give you a wider connections and contacts. That is the initial aim of organising the events – build the wider network of connections and contacts within the business.

3. Attending the events can help you build your own database of potential partners or competitors. Apparently, you can get a clear idea about what others doing during the event, whether they can your partners or competitors in future.

2. Event is the best place for looking for the partnerships. It is the common situation that attendees of the events always leave with several partnerships and joint venture opportunities, which will bring your business a dramatic impact.

1. Attending the events is best method to increase your products-exposure and brand-awareness. Showing your products and your brands in the events is also a good marketing strategy that makes all the attendees and presenters to get to know your products and brands.
