Creating Shared Value: A How-to Guide for the New Corporate (R)evolution

Creating Shared Value (CSV) requires comprehensive and sustained efforts across a corporation. Drawing heavily on real-life examples, this report identifies ten key building blocks that together form a blueprint for translating CSV into action, and explores how companies can get started on that process

Competing by Saving Lives: How Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Companies Create Shared Value in Global Health

This report looks at how pharmaceutical and medical device companies can create shared value in global health by addressing unmet health needs in low- and middle-income countries. Companies have already begun to reap business value and are securing competitive advantages in the markets of tomorrow

Multiplying Impact Through Philanthropic Collaboration

This paper was commissioned by the Network Building Committee of EFC in order to better understand the critical factors relating to effective collaboration between foundations and across sectors, to identify mechanisms and services that can trigger and nurture them, and to test which of these (if any) EFC would be well placed to provide or facilitate. In addition to this goal, we hope to spark a wider conversation within the sector about how to catalyse more collaboration between donors --particularly across national borders. The study drew on input from 20 key stakeholders, an in-depth study of five benchmarks and eight examples of successful collaboration

Private Enterprise for Public Health: Opportunities for Business to Improve Women's and Children's Health

This guide, developed by FSG and published by the Innovation Working Group in support of the global Every Woman, Every Child effort, explores how companies can create shared value in women's and children's health. The document sets out opportunities for multiple different industries to develop new product and services, improve delivery systems and strengthen health systems that can support global efforts to save 16 million women's and children's lives between now and 2015. It particularly notes that companies need not wait for health services to "catch up" with their economic model, but rather they can work proactively to help accelerate change, by partnering with other industries, civil society and the public sector to create collective impact in a specific location. The aim of the guide is to catalyze these transformative partnerships

Creating SHARED VALUE: A How-to Guide for the New Corporate (R)evolution // Creando valor compartido: Una guía práctica para la nueva (R)evolución corporativa

Impulsar el éxito económico y, al mismo tiempo, crear valor social no solo es una responsabilidad, sino también una oportunidad para repensar la forma en que se hacen los negocios y se impulsa el crecimiento económico sostenible.

Los estudios de casos de HP, Cisco, GE y otros ilustran la aplicación de estas ideas en empresas y sectores, concluyendo que la creación de valor compartido implica un rol más centrado internamente en la RSE, la sostenibilidad y el personal de filantropía con un fuerte énfasis en la facilitación y la gestión del cambio

The mutational burden of acral melanoma revealed by whole-genome sequencing and comparative analysis.

Acral melanoma is a subtype of melanoma with distinct epidemiological, clinical and mutational profiles. To define the genomic alterations in acral melanoma, we conducted whole-genome sequencing and SNP array analysis of five metastatic tumours and their matched normal genomes. We identified the somatic mutations, copy number alterations and structural variants in these tumours and combined our data with published studies to identify recurrently mutated genes likely to be the drivers of acral melanomagenesis. We compared and contrasted the genomic landscapes of acral, mucosal, uveal and common cutaneous melanoma to reveal the distinctive mutational characteristics of each subtype

The Language Hotel

Eleven artists of diverse cultural backgrounds explore their relationship with language in visually and textually symbolic installations within a monastery turned artists' residency. They comment on their permanent, bedroom installations and describe their working methods in interviews with curator S. Butler.
