SBTi approves Capgemini’s carbon reduction targets

By
The CSR Journal
-
Capgemini announced today that its new carbon reduction targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as being in line with the level of reduction needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C. This is an important milestone towards the Group’s ambition of becoming a net zero business by 2030.
Validation of its new targets by the SBTi puts Capgemini on its path to accelerate its carbon reduction program across the biggest operational impact areas which are business travel, employee commuting, energy consumption and purchased goods and services. Earlier this year in January 2020, and before the COVID-19 lockdowns, Capgemini met its previous headline 2°C science-based target to reduce 30% emissions per employee by 2030, a decade ahead of schedule.
Building on this strong progress, Capgemini is now fast-tracking efforts to become a net zero business within the next decade, firming up strategies for electric fleet transition, switching to 100% renewable energy by 2025, and leveraging the possibilities of remote delivery through its digital workplace plan. In addition, plans also include building low carbon travel alternatives into policy, creating a new commuting action plan, and focusing on supply chain emissions reduction. The net zero initiative at Capgemini is a cross-organizational effort with collaboration across technology, facilities, business and infrastructure functions.

Capgemini’s new science-based targets include:

– Reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 80% by 2030 from a 2015 base year;
– Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 50% by 2030 from a 2015 base year;
– Reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel and employee commuting 50% per employee by 2030 from a 2015 base year; and
– Increasing proportion of renewable electricity to 100% by 2025.
Speaking on the SBTi validation and what it will mean in terms of reimagining the way Capgemini will travel, work, and deliver projects, Shobha Meera, Capgemini’s Group CSR Officer and member of the Group Executive Committee, said: “This milestone is a validation of our commitment and plan to be a net zero business by 2030. We view our journey to a sustainable future as good for the planet, good for our people, and fundamental to our role as a leader in technology and business transformation.”
A responsible and multicultural company of 265,000 people in nearly 50 countries, Capgemini’s purpose is to unleash human energy through technology for an inclusive and sustainable future.

Day 7 of Navratri: Honouring the Ferociousness of Goddess Kalaratri in Women #WomenCan

By
Hency Thacker
-
Day 7 of Navratri is dedicated to the worship of Kalaratri. Kalaratri is considered to be the most ferocious form of Goddess Durga. It is believed that Parvati removed her fair skin to kill the demons Sumbha and Nisumbha. This form of the Mother Goddess is mounted on a donkey. Since she blesses all those who are humble and humane, she is also known as Shubhankari, meaning the one who does good. Indians have been fortunate to have witnessed and experienced the affections of such ferocious yet caring women in the past, who have not only gained popularity but also love and fondness among the citizens.

Rani Abbakka Chowta of Ullal

Rani Abbakka Chowta of Ullal was the first female freedom fighter that India has seen. She was the first Tuluva Queen of Ullal (present-day Mangalore) and was crowned queen of Ullal by her uncle Tirumala Raya in 1525, as the Chowta’s followed a matrilineal system.
From a young age, Rani Abbakka Chowta was trained to be a good ruler. She was taught how to wield a sword and how to fight with one, military strategies, archery, diplomacy and other subjects on what was needed to make a kingdom run.
When her small kingdom, situated in the western coastal region of India, caught the attention of the Portuguese, they made an attempt to capture it for its strategic importance and fertility of the land. However, the first attempt made by the foreign power with superior navy underestimated the leadership of queen and returned unsuccessfully. After that, it became a recurring event where they kept on attacking Ullal but were never able to defeat the Rani and her army. Rani Abbakka is known to be the only woman in history to confront, fight and repeatedly defeat the Portuguese.
The Portuguese were finally able to defeat her only through deceit, as they corrupted her husband against her, who in turn, betrayed her. After the defeat, she was captured and immediately imprisoned. Despite this, she managed to head a single-handed revolt within bars and was eventually killed in the revolt itself. Her legacy now lives on through memory in Dakshin Karnataka in the form of folk songs, stories and performances of Yakshagana – a form of local theatre

Velu Nachiyar of Sivaganga

Velu Nachiyar, the queen of Sivaganga in Tamil Nadu, was the first Indian ruler to fight and triumph against the British. Queen Velu Nachiyar was popularly known as ‘veeramangai’ which means brave woman.
In 1780, Velu Nachiyar bravely defeated the British to reclaim her territory that they had captured after killing her husband. She managed to do this through a brilliantly formulated coup. She found out the location at which the British had stored their ammunition. In order to defeat them, she devised a suicide attack with her commander in chief Kuyili and destroy all the ammunition.
To carry out the attack, Kuyili doused herself in ghee and set herself on fire and jumped into the ammunition store, destroying everything. This is believed to be the first recorded suicide bomb in the history of the world.

Rani Tarabai of Marathas

Rani Tarabai was the wife of Rajaram, Shivaji’s son from his second wife Soyrabai. After the political instability caused after the passing of Shivaji and his sons, Tarabai took over the reins of Maratha kingdom in the name of her four-year-old son – Shivaji 2. Under her leadership, the Marathas were able to recapture lost territories and also raided southern and western regions in Malwa and Gujarat.
Tarabai was a brave, ambitious and level-headed ruler, who put her kingdom above everything else. She concentrated on fighting the Mughals and was an earnest politician who never went against her own family to attain power. Even after her leadership was snatched away, she continued working in the government. Had it not been for her, the Maratha Empire would have disintegrated long before it did.

UN Day 2020: The United Nations turns 75

By
Kasmin Fernandes
-
Tomorrow is the 75th UN Day – the historic day on which the United Nations officially came into being after the ratification of the Charter by the world’s biggest countries. The UN Charter is the founding document of this great non-partisan institution that has been working towards global peace and equality.
India commemorates this special day every year by raising the United Nations flag along with the tricolour atop all the significant buildings barring the Raj Bhawan and courts. It was US President Franklin D. Roosevelt who came up with the name “United Nations”. No other global institution today commands the respect and impact that the United Nations does. It represents collaboration, communication and dialogue at the inter-governmental level.

UN Day 2020 – what is the theme?

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought everyone face-to-face with the reality of how interdependent and interconnected we really are. It is only when governments and people across borders come together to work in solidarity that we can defeat this crisis.
Secretary General Antonio Guterres opened up a global conversation at the beginning of 2020 to ask people about their hopes and fears for the future. World leaders read the answers from these surveys and dialogues. The result of this massive activity was an official “political declaration” at a high-level event. The theme that resulted from this event: The future we want, the United Nations we need: reaffirming our collective commitment to multilateralism.

75th anniversary of UN Day

October 24th is observed as United Nations Day since the year 1948. It was established in 1945. Therefore, this year marks the 75th anniversary of UN Day. To commemorate this milestone, Member States held a special event on September 21st where they reaffirmed their commitment to multilateralism. In this context, multilateralism means an alliance of many countries pursuing a common goal.
To celebrate UN Day 2020 in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a virtual concert by La Scala Theatre in Milan was screened in the UN General Assembly Hall in New York and live-streamed on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. The concert was sponsored by the Mission of Italy under the theme ‘Reimagine, Rebalance, Restart: recovering together for our shared humanity’. It featured musician Roberto Bolle as well as the Orchestra of Teatro alla Scala, besides classical and modern dances, curated specifically for the gig.

Turning Europe UN Blue

The UNRIC (UN Regional Information Centre for Western Europe) has launched the pan-European campaign ‘Turn Europe UN Blue’ for the 75th anniversary. Many of the United Nation’s founding states are from Europe, so the gesture will definitely be grand. For a continent known for its architecture and iconic classical structures, it’s not surprising that on UN Day over 180 landmarks and museums there will be lit up in deep blue, the official colour of the global body.
This is a symbolic effort to speak the language of international cooperation, peaceful dialogue and sustainable development, everything that the United Nations stands for.

A Bus Service that changed the destiny of children in a village of Maharashtra

By
The CSR Journal
-
The social sector in India has long been challenged by the fact that critical issues that need addressing – girls’ empowerment, healthcare, employability, education, sanitation – are so widespread and deep-rooted that creating social change is a formidable task. And its’ not just in mega cities that lie many solutions to such challenges. In fact, in many small towns, villages and even hamlets, their citizens could teach us life’s most invaluable lessons.
Here is one such story of how the determination to keep children connected to education, changed the destiny of an entire village in Maharashtra:
Natala is a village in Wardha district, Maharashtra that had no transport connectivity. Education beyond class 8 had been a challenge for several years as children had no access to school. The nearest secondary school was 5 kms away with no transport from the village. Instead children would have to walk a narrow, jungle and stone laden path to access transport to the city, a risk none of the parents were willing to take.
When Magic Bus began its intervention in Natala village through Project Disha, many children were dropping out of school as there was no transport connectivity. Project Disha mobilised the Sarpanch, parents, students and local stake holders and advocated for a road and a bus service that connected the village to the city. 10 months of mobilising, rigorous follow ups and sustained efforts finally led to the start of a bus service for Natala village.
Seeing the bus service start, Mayuri, a girl residing in Natala, was the happiest, as she too, like others had decided to drop out of school. Mayuri is a differently abled girl who found it impossible to walk the distance. Her mother who is an ex Sarpanch and her community members took it upon them to make sure that no child drops out.
The bus service is not merely a move to address the crisis. Rather, it provides an opportunity for the people of Natala: It is connecting residents of Natala to livelihood opportunities. It is giving them access to healthcare. It is ensuring that all their children now have access to school and can aspire to a future that is poverty free. More importantly it now offers an array of opportunities to the young girls and boys of Natala.
Mayuri was then able to continue her education in a school that was located 6 kms away from her village. She has worked very hard and received support from her teachers and headmaster, including her mentor, Vaishali who is a young leader at Magic Bus. In July 2020, her exam results were declared and Mayuri was the first child in the whole gram panchayat to score 84%. She has also ranked 2nd in her school.  Her parent’s joy knew no bounds and she made every person in her village and school very happy and proud.
Mayuri’s hard work and determination has encouraged more than 30 students to continue to complete their education. Since 2017, Magic Bus India Foundation has been implementing Project Disha in 31 schools and 30 villages spread across 8 districts in Maharashtra. Project Disha is supported by HDFC Bank Parivartan. The efforts and mobilisation of the community have ensured that no child drops out of main stream education.

CSR of Vodafone Idea and NASSCOM Foundation Launch App-based Solution for Women’s Safety in India

By
The CSR Journal
-
Vodafone Idea Foundation, the CSR arm of Vodafone Idea Limited, in partnership with NASSCOM Foundation, Sayfty Trust, and UN Women today announced the launch of ‘MyAmbar’ (meaning My Sky): An app-based solution designed and developed especially for safety and empowerment of women in India.
Developed under the ‘Connecting for Good program’, MyAmbar App aims to help women understand and stand against violence.
MyAmbar app is available in both English and Hindi. It not only provides women with an easy access to important helpline numbers and service providers across the country but also helps them through a step-by-step risk assessment tool guiding them through various ways of dealing with their current status. Its extensive service directory also helps them reach out to legal and counselling services at a click of a button.
The MyAmbar App brings ready help and education for all women on gender-based violence to understand the issue and avail support services. It also helps create a safe haven for the survivors and high-risk victims to log in their complaints and seek help without bias or judgment.
The solution was launched through a virtual event by Mrs. Rajashree Birla, Chairperson, The Aditya Birla Centre for Community initiative and Rural Development, Mr. P. Balaji, Chief Regulatory and Corporate Affairs Officer, Vodafone Idea Limited, Ms. Nishtha Satyam, Deputy Country Representative, UN Women, Ms. Rashmi Singh, Director, Department of Women and child Development, Govt. of NCT of Delhi,  Dr. Shruti Kapoor, Founder and President, Sayfty Trust along with Mr. Ashok Pamidi, CEO  and Mr. Santosh Abraham, Vice President from NASSCOM Foundation, who shared their thoughts and insights on Prevention, Safety & Empowerment for women through MyAmbar.
Extending an invitation for women across India to take control of their own safety with MyAmbar,
Balaji, Chief Regulatory & Corporate Affairs Officer, Vodafone Idea Limited said, “Vodafone Idea is committed to leveraging our technology strengths to create social impact through sustainable solutions. We strongly believe that when you educate, empower or support a woman in any ecosystem, you impact her entire family, her immediate ecosystem in the community, which in turn brings in a strong multiplier effect on the overall social and economic development of the entire country. Continuing our efforts in this direction, we are happy to introduce the MyAmbar App that is devised to assist women in distress by facilitating information and access to related support, over a single platform. Our association with NASSCOM Foundation and other stakeholders will help lend spread and scale to this endeavour to educate women, help them understand and recognise the constituents of abuse around them and gain access to verified information on medical, legal and mental health services located close by.”
NASSCOM Foundation has designed and developed the App with content from Sayfty Trust and is working with UN Women to get most women across India to download and start using the app.
Ashok Pamidi, CEO, NASSCOM Foundation, on the launch said. “One in three women worldwide experience physical or sexual violence. More than 4 lakh cases on crime against women were registered in 2019 according to India National Crime’s Record Bureau (NCRB). These are just official numbers and we all know that a lot of domestic violence against women goes unreported. Both prevention from such assaults and support in recovery of the victims are of prime importance. NASSCOM Foundation has always been an advocate of an inclusive society when working towards women education, empowerment, and upliftment.
Today, with MyAmbar, we have taken a vital step to leverage technology to work towards women’s safety and empowerment. I urge everyone to use MyAmbar and support us in bringing this solution to every woman across India’s remotest corners.
Vodafone Idea has been one of our most bankable partners in our quest towards using technology for social good, and we thank them for their continuous and unwavering support. We hope that this partnership grows further and we bring more such innovative and scalable technology solutions to help make real change happen.”
The App provides many useful features like:

– Comprehensive information on various aspects of Gender-based violence presented in easy to understand form.
– Self-risk assessment for users to understand their physical and emotional state along with recommendations for further course of action.,

More languages will be added on to the platform going forward. The content is also available in an audio-based format for the ease of understanding.

As part of its CSR initiative, Allcargo Logistics adopted three villages and constructed 17 houses for underprivileged communities of the Panvel block in Raigad district.
Out of these, 14 houses were handed over in Dhamani (Choti Dhamni, Mothi Dhamni and Aushyachiwadi), and nearby villages like Sangtoli, and Shivansai. On the occasion of the birthday of Vaishnav Shetty, Executive Director, ECU Worldwide, these constructed houses were handed over to 13 female beneficiaries from women-headed households and four male beneficiaries inclusive of a person with disability (PwD) and senior citizens.

This Housing Project where we have been able to help deserving families with a roof over their heads has been a truly fulfilling initiative. Being among the privileged, it is our duty to help those in need and contribute to the welfare of the society and community in every way we can. We look ahead to carrying out many more such activities and making a real difference in many more lives, in the days to come,” stated Arathi Shetty, Head – CSR, Avashya Foundation, CSR arm of Allcargo Logistics.
Additionally, with the focus on education, environment, housing, sports and healthcare facilities for the villagers, the Foundation is also actively training the youth and imparting the skills related to logistics, and tailoring, respectively.
