    2. Sinds 2018 gebruikt Lidl Ecovadis als onderdeel van het verduurzamen van het aankoopproces. Ecovadis is een tool op maat van verschillende sectoren om de duurzaamheidsinspanningen van leveranciers te meten en te verbeteren. De leverancier krijgt eerst een vragenlijst rond vier thema’s: milieu, sociaal, ethiek en duurzaam aankopen. Op basis van de antwoorden krijgt de leverancier concrete verbetermogelijkheden en actieplannen. Eind 2018 waren twintig nationale leveranciers gescreend en hun doelstellingen gedefinieerd. Geen van hen bevindt zich in de rode Hoog-risico zone volgens Ecovadis. Ons doel is om tegen eind 2020 de leveranciers te screenen die samen 25% van ons aankoopvolume vertegenwoordigen en/of duurzaamheidsrisico’s hebben, met focus op nationale leveranciers.Lidl is de eerste Belgische retailer die zich bij dit sys­teem aansluit. Ook Lidl zelf is gescreend en kreeg een Silver badge: daarmee zitten we bij de 21% best scorende Ecovadis-screenings.

      Lidl geeft aan zakenpartners te controleren, registreren en evalueren in zake (o.a.) mensenrechten middels het platform EcoVadis.

    3. Lidl heeft een eigen Code of Conduct opgesteld, gebaseerd op het internationale model van de Business Social Compliance Initiative. Hierin staan sociale en ecologische minimumstandaarden gedefinieerd die door elke leverancier moeten worden nageleefd. Onder andere de volgende onderwerpen worden opgenomen in de Code of Conduct:verbod op kinderarbeid,naleving van wettelijke voorschriften,goede en menswaardige arbeidsomstandigheden,milieubescherming.100% van onze leveranciers verbindt zich ertoe om onze Code of Conduct na te leven.

      The supermarket supports suppliers in implementing labour standards and human rights as described in a Supplier Code of Conduct.

      training & material support worden in de CoC niet benoemd

      claim - post modernism alone is no match for the dynamics of hierarchical Destructive Global Capitalism (DGC) - unity of required amongst the fragmented postmodern movements

    1. if governments deliver in full on their national energy and climate pledges, then oil and gas demand would be 45% below today's level by 2050 and the temperature rise could be limited to 1.7 °C. If governments successfully pursue a 1.5 °C trajectory, and emissions from the global energy sector reach net zero by mid-century, oil and gas use would fall by 75% to 2050.

    1. Eukaryotic single-celled organisms appear in the fossil record perhaps by 1.6 BYA (Knoll et al., 2006). Yet for a “boring billion” years of evolutionary history, they remain minor components in bacterial-dominated ecosystems before explosively radiating as large, multicellular species in an Ediacaran and Cambrian MST. Eukaryotes are obviously essential for this MST, as all animals, plants and fungi are eukaryotes. However, the initial appearance of eukaryotic cells seems insufficient for a MST.

    1. The black line in Fig. 5 shows that redistribution is not enough; if everyone’s emissions are equalized at escape from poverty levels, then we would still overshoot the climate boundaries

    1. they claim they have solved the  problem of multinational taxation but it's it's   a bit ridiculous how little they have done the  minimum tax rate of 15 percent is ridiculously   small and also it's only sort of sharing sort of  rich countries are sharing between themselves you   00:33:10 know the tax base that is currently in tax haven  but countries in the south in the global south   basically don't get anything and i think that's an  that's an issue that's something an area in which   the pressure of the chinese counter model in  the future maybe will contribute to induce   rich countries to to to to to to to have a bit  more you know inclusive attitude towards the   00:33:37 the south also well if they don't do  it i mean you know if they don't do it   in effect china will finance the investment and  the infrastructure investment that is needed in   africa and in south asia and and that's that's  you know this is at some point you know fully uh   western countries will realize that they have to  change something otherwise they will just lose any   any influence and any capacity to influence the  world

      !- Thomas Piketty : Chinese counter model pressures western elites to change

      !- Western multinationals : comment - The elites will continue unabated until externally pressured by the Chinese counter model and others that erode the Global South's trust in the Global North elites - Colonialism has morphed into its new variant, post colonial, globalized capitalism - which is available to all elites, both in Global North or South to exploit and privatize in the same extractive, colonialist logic of the past
