A Promise of Security

MD. Moniruzzaman Khan
Green Delta Insurance Co. Ltd.

Although CSR has become a part of operations for a growing number of firms in Bangladesh, Green Delta Insurance Company has taken it a step further through its innovative approach. What started with the launch of the Ami Achi (“I’m here”) campaign on December 16, 2016, is now being developed into a full-scale philanthropic movement. Aligning with the Principles of the United Nations Global Compact as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Ami Achi aims to better the lives of people living below the poverty line while especially focusing on underprivileged children. Sadly, more often than not, these people are ignored, when in reality they need the most attention and care. This groundbreaking innovation of Green Delta plans to change that by working for unfortunate people and providing them with the help and guidance they deserve as human beings. more[...] login_required

Copeinca

To promote the integration of key thematic areas of environmental education in the country, a project idea was born: the EcoBusiness School Program. Created by the Institute for Promotion of Sustainable Development and supported by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Environment in Peru, the initiative began in 2010. The design of this enterprising program for environmental education was aimed at young people attending the last cycle of secondary education (15- and 16-year-olds). The main objective is to strengthen the capacities of young people in identifying the realities concerning the environment; understanding market development; understanding the procedures and challenges of building, managing, and administering an economic enterprise that has a positive impact on the environment; and developing leadership and management skills. more[...] login_required
