SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN

We help businesses build environmentally responsible and ethical practices into their supply chains, from sourcing materials to delivering products. This can save money, improve your reputation, and reduce your impact on the planet.

There are several reasons why companies are increasingly focused on sustainable supply chains:

  • Customer demand: Many consumers (B2C) / customers (B2B) are willing to pay more for products that are made sustainably.
  • Regulations: There are growing regulations around environmental protection and labor practices, and a sustainable supply chain can help companies comply with these regulations.
  • Risk management: A sustainable supply chain can help companies avoid risks associated with environmental damage, labor disputes, and disruptions in the supply chain.

As a consultant, we help companies develop and implement strategies to make their supply chains more sustainable. This could involve things like:

  • Supplier audits to assess their environmental and social practices.
  • Developing sourcing strategies that prioritize sustainable suppliers.
  • Collaboration with suppliers to help them to become sustainable suppliers.
  • Helping companies design products that are easier to recycle or reuse.
  • Reducing the environmental and social impacts of the supply chain
  • Optimizing logistics to reduce transportation costs and emissions.

2 workshops will be conducted by DownunderED during the Fair:

  • Climate Fresk (Causes and consequences of the climate change on sustainability of your business model)
  • 2 tons Workshop (The 2tonnes workshops are designed to raise awareness and encourage action on climate change, specifically targeting a reduction in individual carbon footprint to 2 tons per year by 2050. This aligns with the goals of the Paris Agreement to achieve carbon neutrality)

The PALO IT Impact Tracker, powered by generative AI, focuses on sustainability assessment and reporting, with a key emphasis on carbon emissions and energy consumption, SDG maturity, environmental impact awareness, and business KPIs.

PALO IT’s Impact Tracker is customizable ESG data repository & orchestration platform to help pilot a sustainable transformation.

What does it do?

Our Impact Tracker is an easy to deploy, modular tool to monitor carbon emissions, energy consumption, costs, SDG maturity, environmental impact awareness, and key sustainability and compliance metrics. We’ve built the Impact Tracker so it’s simple for our clients to use existing modules—or create new ones—to meet their specific needs.

Why did we create it?

As organizations seek to improve their sustainability maturity, ESG reporting is often the first step. However, we’ve found that businesses exhaust themselves trying to accomplish this, given their low data maturity, the complexity of sourcing ESG data, and the lack of proper tools to help track progress over time.

To accelerate the delivery of ESG data projects, we’ve built an open-source, AI-powered data repository that centralizes ESG data for reporting purposes – either through a SaaS vendor or an in-house analytics tool – and help oversee sustainable transformation.

How does it work?

●         Step 1 – Collect data from disparate sources: Data collection, internal or external, is possible through automated methods including direct integration, APIs, transfer by SFTP, CSV/PDF uploads, questionnaires, or manual entry.

●         Step 2 – Clean and prepare data: AI and ML models help clean up and categorize vast amounts of data and centralize into data repository which enables integration with any reporting tool.

●         Step 3 – Present data for decision making: Dashboards and reporting are vastly improved through conversational AI and data visualization tools.

LUMIERE PROJECT

LUMIERE PROJECT

#Fintech #EntFi #AI #Web3 #blockchain media

about us :

Lumiere is transforming the mass-media entertainment industry by merging Web3 technologies with crowdfunding, traceable financing and audience engagement. This brings a fresh approach to financing and content production methods.
 
Rooted in the HKSTP ideation programme in Hong Kong in 2020, with the support of Animoca and Rolling Stone, Lumiere is currently scaling and expanding to the USA, Africa, Middle-East, and Europe, especially France.
 
The company positions itself as a pioneer in the mass-media entertainment industry thanks to its innovative platform, the Lumiverse, and its traceability prototype, Elemis.

Problem addressed: Web2 Pain Points

Investment Risks: 80% of Web2 entertainment investors lose money on their investments.

Financing Challenges: 90% of Web2 content producers find it challenging to finance their work, in particular independent producers.

Lack of Transparency: Projects employing millions of industry professionals worldwide lack solutions to ensure financial accountability.

————————————-

Key competitive advantages / differentiation:

Global Film and TV market size including merchandising options is over US$400 bn: Lumiere aims to resolve traceability issues in the film industry, saving as much as 10% on every film budget that it services. Lumière is first to market.

In parallel, Lumiere engages audiences with Web3 tools and raises finance to produce content and promote it. Carried by a horde of ambassadors, the financial model is turned upside down and the film starts being financed before VC capital injection. It builds the Lumiverse — a secured, transparent, and reliable metamarket.

The Company has established solid partnerships with great numbers of industry players from all around the globe, including Animoca, Sandbox, and Decentraland metaverses, as well as international film and animation festivals, which form a strong network of partners.

Lumiere raised US$300K from Animoca Brands at a valuation of US$5M with a 2% stake from media giant RollingStone (PMC).

————————————-

Financial:

Lumiere is looking to raise US$2.6M in 3 milestones over the next 36 months. To do so, it launches a movie fan membership token in Q2 2024 and is raising US$450K to close Animoca seed round by June 2024. To do so, Lumiere is in talks with blockchain foundations and VCs and it plans to be able to integrate Elemis fully into its platform with Ridley Scott’s movie about Ethereum “The Infinite Machine”.

Human resources:

Driven by a team of experts and a Ph.D. in the field of Web3 from CityU Hong Kong and UCLA, Lumiere is committed to transparency and security; allowing professionals and audiences an unprecedented co-creation. This commitment will be showcased during the launch of Lumiere’s fan club token in June 2024 and its plans to scale up.

By collaborating with visionary companies such as Animoca, RollingStone, Decentraland, The Sandbox and Gaumont, Lumiere aims to push the boundaries of entertainment and maximise the profitability of each initiative.

————————————-

  • Elemis is Lumière blockchain-powered traceability application that was prototyped with HKSTP in 2020.
  • Lumiere has also developed a marketplace and a metamarket with Decentraland and is creating another one with The Sandbox that allows users to purchase digital merchandise virtually in an immersive set-up from the comfort of their home.
