20 Most Ethical High-Tech Companies
https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1333281
Good ethics are simply good business. In light of that reality, more and more organizations are putting time and energy into perfecting their compliance and ethics practices and procedures.
Especially in the electronics and high-technology sectors, there are some excellent examples of organizations that have built stellar reputations and have built their business as a result.
“Over the last 12 years, we have repeatedly seen that those companies who focus on transparency and authenticity are rewarded with the trust of employees, customers, and investors. While negative headlines might grab attention, the companies who support the rule of law and operate with decency and fair play around the globe will always succeed in the long term,” Timothy Erblich, CEO of the Ethisphere Institute said in a written statement.
For a dozen years now, the Ethisphere Institute has annually recognized those companies that have made their mark on global society by paying attention to corporate governance, risk, sustainability, compliance, and ethics. The 2018 World’s Most Ethical Companies report identified 135 companies spanning 23 countries and 57 industries.
“In 2017, we saw a profound change in the discourse around the world, but as part of that disruption we also saw global companies emerge as society’s leading voice to advance the human condition,” Ethisphere reported.
Organizations in the high-tech sector, including defense, distribution, manufacturing, logistics, automotive, and more, were well represented on the list. The awards were based on the following criteria:
Ethics and compliance program (35%)
Corporate citizenship and responsibility (20%)
Culture of ethics (20%)
Governance (15%)
Leadership, innovation and reputation (10%).

The future city of Africa. Sustainable City Development
http://fcafrica.org/
UNHabitat .predicts that 700 million people will be added to the cities of Africa in the next 35 years. That means an entire New York city needs to be built – every six months!
…
That is a great challenge, but also a unique opportunity to rethink the African city of the future, leapfrogging over the outdated infrastructure and mindsets of the 20th century and create a 21st century city based on African needs, African culture and African environment. Africa has already taken the lead when it comes to mobile banking and mobile health with new solutions are being developed and implemented in Africa faster than anywhere else.
…
The rapid development of the cities in Africa open up the same opportunities for redesigning the city, based on the latest mobile and sensor technologies and the internet of things. African cities are not stuck in infrastructure in the same way as European and Amerian cities which gives them a big advantage in implementing the smart city of the future.
…
That is why we are setting up “The Future City of Africa” conference and expo in Nairobi, June 9th-11th. There we will bring together the brightest minds of Africa. Up and coming thought leaders that are already starting to shape the future. Visionary architects, brave entrepreneurs, mad innovators and critical authors. Mayors that care about the future of their city and the prosperity of their people. Investors from Silicon Valley, Europe and Africa and business people that are ready to think out of the box and build the businesses of tomorrow.
…
The conference is set up by Phønix, the international place branding panel, in partnership with one of the leading cities in Africa – Nairobi, a ground breaking university when it comes to urban planning and sustainable development, and leading companies in smart cities and infrastructure development. We will be bringing in over 40 top speakers from all over Africa and beyond. The host of the conference is Dr. Evans Kidero, governor of Nairobi. See the already announced speakers and click AGENDA here to see more about the four main themes of the conference.
The media will be monitoring the conference closely and all the major media will be covering the event. This includes CNBC Africa which will send a TV crew to the conference to create a one hour long documentary about the ideas presented, the speakers on the stage and the doers that attend. See you in Nairobi in June!
Construyendo un Índice de Movilidad Sustentable
http://llactalab.ucuenca.edu.ec/construyendo-un-indice-de-movilidad-sustentable/
Introducción
La movilidad se ha convertido en uno de los asuntos prioritarios a atender y resolver en la ciudad, las estrategias que se han llevado a cabo hasta el momento, en la mayoría de los casos, no han logrado crear las condiciones óptimas para la población en las áreas urbanas. Cuenca, en términos de movilidad, se define por dos rasgos contrastantes, por un lado la importancia del transporte público, dado que el 43% de la población lo utiliza, y por el otro, el creciente aumento de la motorización y la congestión vehicular, modalidad en la que se invierte un alto porcentaje de los recursos públicos. Para entender mejor el estado actual de la movilidad urbana en Cuenca, LlactaLAB en colaboración con el Plan de Movilidad y Espacios Públicos (PMEP) del GAD Municipal de Cuenca realizó una encuesta de percepción sobre movilidad en toda la ciudad. Esta encuesta proporciona valiosos datos de percepciones y actitudes de los cuencanos sobre la movilidad en la ciudad que pueden guiar futuras intervenciones.
Como parte de este estudio se realizaron algunas preguntas sobre modalidades de transporte y su frecuencia, a partir de estos datos se pudo construir un índice que llamamos índice de movilidad sustentable. El índice mide la movilidad motorizada y no motorizada en las distintas zonas. A diferencia del índice de motorización, que mide la cantidad de autos privados por el número de habitantes, el índice propuesto mide la cantidad de usuarios que utilizan los distintos medios de transporte, su frecuencia y les da un peso de acuerdo al nivel de motorización de cada modalidad y su intensidad de uso. Este índice está compuesto por valores de 1 a 10, valores bajos corresponden a zonas en las que sus habitantes usan principalmente el auto y valores altos a zonas en las sus habitantes principalmente caminan.
Cálculo del índice:
Variables:
Formula:
Resultados:
En el tema de movilidad, la ciudad de Cuenca comparte (aunque en menor grado) los mismos síntomas de una movilidad deficiente que otras ciudades latinoamericanas, estas deficiencias se traducen en: congestión vehicular producto de la dispersión y de la alta inversión en infraestructura para el automóvil; poca accesibilidad dentro de la ciudad para peatones y ciclistas; contaminación del aire dentro del medio ambiente urbano, entre otros. Sin embargo, como se puede ver en la figura, gran parte de la ciudad tiene un índice de movilidad sustentable medio, esto principalmente por el alto uso del transporte público (que compone el 43% del reparto modal). El Centro Histórico es la zona con el mejor índice de toda la ciudad, puesto que la mayoría de los habitantes señalan que caminan como principal medio de transporte. Existe una agrupación de índices bajos, en la zona del Ejido, Yanuncay, y Monay, en las cuales la modalidad de transporte es principalmente el auto privado. En relación a los datos presentados es necesario hacer nuevas preguntas que den luz a las distintas condicionantes que han dado como resultado la movilidad actual en la ciudad. Esto permitirá entender mejor las causas y permitirán orientar mejor las estrategias e intervenciones urbanas dentro de Cuenca.
