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)

about us :

Today, Short Édition employs 15 people, in Grenoble, Paris and Philadelphia, all sharing the same ambition to promote reading and writing and all convinced that technology can serve culture. Thanks to a little creativity and a lot of R&D, the Short Story DispenserTM was born. It was launched in Grenoble in October 2015 and was the topic of a huge media storm and reached the ears of a famous film producter and short story publisher, Francis Ford Coppola. He immediately decided to get one for his literary Café Zoetrope in San Francisco, and later for his wineries in Napa Valley for international visitors. Today we have over 600 Short Story Dispensers installed across 5 continents and over 15,000 contemporary short stories to share from authors worldwide in various public spaces: public libraries, universities, hospitals, schools, airports/rail stations, shopping centers, museums, cafés and restaurants…. to reach readers on each corner of the globe – from Paris to Hong Kong to San Francisco.

Short Édition innovates to promote reading for pleasure by offering short literature bursts via Short Story DispensersTM. The concept rekindles storytelling with stories, poetry, and comics in English or Chinese, printed on an eco-friendly scroll to enhance transit experiences.

The Short Story Cube™, an Edtech solution, sparks curiosity in classrooms to foster reading for pleasure while teaching essential writing skills on eco-friendly paper. The Cube engages students in offline moments with a symphony of stories, boosting literacy and cultural engagement.
