After returning from serving as a Red Cross volunteer in World War One, Walt Disney decided that he wanted to make cartoon motion pictures. With a lot of determination, at the age of 19, he started his own company which was not a big success. He went bankrupt several times and still decided to move to Hollywood to keep perusing his dreams. He set up a studio in a converted garage and in 1928 was able to achieve little success with short animation of ‘Alice in Cartoonland’ and ‘Oswald the Rabbit’. However, the cartoonists left Walt’s studio and took Oswald the Rabbit with them. With one last attempt of succeeding, he created his first sketch of Mickey Mouse and, suddenly, his whole world changed!

In its focus on water shortage, Nestlé Pakistan provides water and sanitation to over 60,000 Pakistanis every day.
Further, the company and its subsidiaries work on developing new sustainably sourced and created products--focusing on healthier, natural, and more authentic foods.

A day after President Biden's executive order on climate change, General Motors (GM) moved to sell only zero-emission cars and trucks by 2035. GM has committed $27B to introduce 30 electric models by 2025, and is building a plant in Ohio to make batteries for those models. With climate change as a primary concern for multinational corporations, having one of the largest players in the auto industry move towards this direction is groundbreaking!

Coffee And Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) Practices is an initiative that Starbucks developed to assure that all the coffee that the company purchases was sustainably grown and processed. The company requires suppliers to present evidence of payments through the coffee supply chain in order to assure that farmers are also being paid a fair amount. By these means, Starbucks assures an ethical sourcing of coffee as well as a delicious taste!

The Estée Lauder Companies has unveiled its 2020 Breast Cancer Campaign, themed “It’s more than a ribbon, it unites us”, a reinforcing of the company’s commitment to creating a breast cancer-free world.
The US beauty house noted that those suffering from the disease now face increased risk and vulnerability due to the COVID-19 crisis.
In light of this, The Estée Lauder Companies has expanded its campaign to go beyond the Pink Ribbon — the globally recognised symbol for breast cancer.
The group aims to transform the iconic Pink Ribbon symbol into a call to arms against breast cancer, representing unity and global community and honouring those who have been affected by disease.

In today's we are going to talk about a great environmentalist, Wangari Muta Maathai. An environmentalist, feminist and political activist, Kenyan-born Dr. Maathai was the founder of the Green Belt Movement, an indigenous, grassroots, non-governmental organization focused on integrating sustainable development with women’s rights. The Green Belt Movement has planted over 45 million trees🌲 across Kenya to combat deforestation, stop soil erosion, and generate income for women and their families. Wangari Muta Maathai was awarded the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize "for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace", making her the first African woman to receive a Nobel Award. If you want to learn more about her life and accomplishments, as the Green Belt Movement is only one of many, you should watch "Taking Root: the Vision of Wangari Maathai"!🍃

LEGO’s: Developing Young Minds Through Play.

LEGO’s CSR initiatives aimed at developing a better world and learning environment for children. By recognizing that LEGO’s can provide a fun playing opportunity and serve as a vital tool for learning too, LEGO has trained thousands of their employees to become “Play Agents” whose job is to help children engage in play that specifically encourages learning and growth. Other programs, such as “Build the Change”, further encourage the combination of play with valuable change by giving kids the resources to solve real-world sustainability and architectural planning challenges.

Brunello Cucinelli S.p.A is a leading manufacturer of luxury fashion apparel and its founder has striven to create a company that follows the principals of “humanistic capitalism”. This means that workers are paid higher salaries, have shorter working hours and longer lunch breaks, which allows for a more productive work environment. To contribute to the humanistic capitalism approach, Brunello Cucinelli S.p.A also implements a fair and sustainable profit and the idea of giving back to society.
