  • What changes in 2025?

    As we step into 2025, the landscape of sustainability is set to evolve dramatically, reflecting the urgent need for innovative solutions to our planet's challenges. Throughout the past year, we have diligently explored groundbreaking advancements and strategies that prioritize environmental and social sustainability. Here are the key insights and trends that have captured our attention for 2025. Textile waste : new regulation and their impact on social entreprises. Model in a Waste recycling plant. Viktor Drachev/TASS Starting January 1, 2025, a new European directive will require the selective collection of textiles, meaning you can no longer toss old clothes, rags, or linens into regular trash bags (white bags in Belgium). In Belgium, we already have a strong textile collection system with over 8,500 drop-off points run by organizations like Oxfam and Les Petits Riens. However, this new rule is causing concern among these social enterprises. Their goal is to gather high-quality clothing for resale in second-hand shops, which helps fund their social projects. Unfortunately, the rise of fast fashion has led to a flood of low-quality items that are difficult to recycle or reuse. Right now, about 20% of what’s collected ends up incinerated at a hefty cost of €300 per ton . If this continues, it could seriously threaten the financial health of these organizations that are already struggling to cope with the sheer volume of discarded textiles. Find out more Ban on disposable E-cigarettes to protect youth and the environment. e-cigarette From 1 January, it will be forbidden to sell single-use vapes in Belgium. Belgium is leading the way with its ban on disposable e-cigarettes, a significant step forward in addressing youth vaping. This measure is crucial, as these colorful, flavored devices have become incredibly popular among young people. The problem is that these products are marketed as disposable, but they actually contain toxic and flammable components that must be returned for recycling . Moreover, young users often consume them without realizing the risks, leading to increased frequency and quantity of nicotine intake. Find out more   New regulation on packaging waste. So called "sustainable packaging" Attention, entrepreneurs! Starting in 2025, new EU regulations will significantly impact how you manage packaging. With ambitious targets to  reduce packaging waste—5% by 2030 and 10% by 2035 —you'll need to rethink your strategies to minimize materials and comply with these standards. Certain single-use plastics will be banned by 2030, creating an opportunity for you to innovate with sustainable alternatives that attract eco-conscious consumers. Additionally, all packaging must be recyclable, and you'll need to incorporate recycled content into your products. By embracing these changes, you can position your business as a leader in sustainability while meeting the growing demand for environmentally friendly practices. Now is the time to adapt and thrive! Find out more New simplified framework for sustainability reporting Collection of data for repoorting In February 2025, the EU is set to unveil a new Simplification Package that will streamline sustainability reporting regulations, including the EU Taxonomy, Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). This initiative aims to reduce the regulatory burden on businesses while ensuring that sustainability remains a priority. This simplification could help alleviate some of the complexities and costs associated with compliance. However, it’s crucial to stay vigilant, as there are concerns that easing these regulations might dilute essential climate action goals. Embrace this opportunity to enhance your sustainability practices. You should focus your resources on implementing environmental and social sustainable practices rather than allocating excessive funds to reporting. Find out more DEI will remain a core competency to drive innovation & sustainability in business. Meeting room In 2025, while DEI faces significant pushback with major companies like Walmart and Boeing rolling back their initiatives, data continues to demonstrate its crucial business value. Companies that prioritize inherent and acquired DEI are unlocking significant financial benefits. Research shows that organizations with higher diversity levels generate 45% of their revenue  from innovative initiatives, compared to just 26%  for those with below-average diversity. This innovation is vital for achieving sustainability goals, as diverse teams are better equipped to develop creative solutions for reducing CO2 emissions.  In fact, the National Grid reports that 62% of respondents believe DEI can help overcome innovation challenges  essential for reaching net-zero targets. To navigate this complex landscape, companies will increasingly focus on quantifiable metrics to demonstrate DEI's impact, leveraging AI tools for unbiased assessments, and fostering practitioner collaborations.

  • Embracing intersectionality in science - Alma Levant Hayden's legacy in chemistry and drug safety (Chapter 16)

    Alma Levant Hayden was a trailblazing chemist who left an indelible mark on drug safety and public health in the United States. Her story exemplifies the power of intersectionality in science and its crucial role in driving innovation and sustainability. Alma Hayden, 1952 (Photo Credit: Office of NIH History) A childhood of curiosity and determination Born in 1927, growing up in the segregated South, Hayden refused to let barriers stop her scientific curiosity. Despite facing significant obstacles as a young African American girl, she was driven by an intense passion for understanding the world around her. Her determination to learn and explore would become the cornerstone of her future scientific achievements. Embracing science as a career Hayden's journey into science began at South Carolina State College, where she graduated with honors in 1947. She initially wanted to become a nurse but discovered a passion for chemistry that she "just didn't want to part from". [1] This passion led her to pursue a master's degree in chemistry at Howard University, where she studied under renowned chemist Dr Lloyd Noel Ferguson, one of the founders of the professional organization for the professional advancement of black chemists and chemical engineer. Dr Lloyd Noel Ferguson Despite facing significant barriers as both a woman and an African American in the scientific community, Hayden persevered. Her determination and intellect allowed her to overcome the prejudices of the time, which often saw women and minorities excluded from scientific careers. She studied at the University of Howard, in Washington D.C., one of the most distinguished Universities of the USA, not sectarian but open to all sexes and races,[2] and obtained her master’s in chemistry. She specialised in infrared spectroscopy.[3] Infrared light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The human eye cannot see it, but humans can detect it as heat. Electromagnetic spectrum Infrared Spectroscopy is the analysis of infrared light interacting with a molecule. What is infrared spectroscopy? Imagine infrared spectroscopy as a detective tool that helps scientists "read" the identity and structure of molecules. Think of it like a molecular fingerprint scanner. Here's how it works: Every molecule is made up of atoms that are constantly vibrating and moving, kind of like tiny springs connected to each other. When infrared light (which is heat energy we can't see) passes through a sample, these molecular "springs" absorb specific amounts of that light based on their unique structure. It's similar to how each musical instrument has a unique sound, even when playing the same note. Just as you can identify a trumpet or a violin by its distinctive timbre, scientists can identify molecules by the specific way they absorb infrared light. Practical applications are everywhere: Chemists use it to identify unknown substances Forensic scientists analyze crime evidence Environmental researchers detect pollutants Pharmaceutical companies check drug purity Food scientists examine the composition of ingredients For example, if you wanted to know exactly what's in a mysterious powder or liquid, infrared spectroscopy could help you break down its molecular components without destroying the sample. It's like having a super-powerful microscope that can see the invisible "dance" of molecules, revealing their secrets through the way they interact with light. Alma Levant Hayden: an accoumplished scientist In the mid-1950s, Hayden joined the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services responsible for safeguarding public health through the regulation of food, drugs, and medical devices. Her appointment was a significant achievement, particularly given the FDA's reluctance to hire African American scientists at the time. This hesitancy came from concerns that their testimony in court cases might be disregarded or prejudice proceedings due to racial bias, especially in certain parts of the country. Despite these institutional barriers, Hayden's expertise and qualifications secured her position, marking a pivotal moment in the agency's history.[4] More, Hayden became Chief of the Spectrophotometer Research Branch in the Division of Pharmaceutical Chemistry in 1963.[5] She worked with her colleagues on chromatographic techniques to characterise adrenocortical steroids in urine.[6] The main role of adrenal steroids is to regulate electrolyte and water levels in the kidneys. She also worked on characterising barbiturates and sulfonamides from paper chromatograms. Barbiturates are sedative drug used to relax the body and help people sleep, they were popular at the XIXth century at sleeping pills or recreative drugs. Sulfamides are an antibacterial agents. She has published 17 articles in renowned journals. Changing the World: The Krebiozen investigation Before talking about the Krebozien investifation, you should know about the thalidomide scandal and the Kefauver-Harris Amendment. The thalidomide scandal and the Kefauver-Harris Amendment In the late 1950s, thalidomide, a non-barbiturate sedative was advertised as safe for everyone, including pregnant women. Future mothers used to take the pill to prevent morning sickness. It was an over-the-counter drug sold in 46 countries, in the early sixties, as popular as aspirin.[7] Thalidomid tablets This medication caused thousands of mothers to give birth to disabled babies. Miscarriages happened, limbs failed to develop properly, in some cases also eyes, ears and internal organs. The effect of thalidomide by Reddit No-one knows how many miscarriages the drug caused or how many worldwide victims of the drug there have been, but it's estimated that, in the late 1950s and early 1960s, a range from 10,000 to 20,000 children in 46 countries were born with deformities.[8] This tragedy led to a revolution at the FDA regulatory authority: the requirement that all new drug applications should make a proof of efficiency for the targeted market application and should prove their safety for the consumer. This change called the Kefauver-Harris Amendment is the start of the FDA approval in its modern form and is the reason why bringing new drugs to the market is such a long and difficult process. [9] We will talk about the women who saved America from a generation of "thalidomide babies" in a future article. The Krebiozen investigation 1951 newspaper Quack Medicine KREBIOZEN is presented as "The miracle cancer cure drug" Following this tragedy, in 1963, Alma Hayden, then  Chief of the Spectrophotometer Research Branch in the Division of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, had to deal with major medical controversy. In 1940s, Dr Andrew Invy and Dr Stephan Durovic claimed that to have discovered a new drug derived from distilled blood serum of horses, called Krebiozen, able to cure cancer. In 1963, Hayden and her colleagues were assigned the task to determine what the drug was and whether it had any therapeutic benefits in treating the disease. Using infrared spectroscopy, and comparing images of over 20,000 known substances, Alma Hayden and her team analyzed Krebiozen and discovered that it was nothing more than creatine, a common amino acid derivative already found in the human body. [10] Spectrographic tracings of creatine and Krebiozen sample (FDA History Office) This revelation exposed the fraudulent claims surrounding the drug and protected countless cancer patients from exploitation. The history of the phony cancer drug Krebiozen by Sharita Forrest, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign “By the fall of 1963, FDA had reached its scientific conclusions. The Krebiozen powder, the agency announced, had been identified by several chemical tests as creatine . The contents of Krebiozen ampules were identified as mineral oil, with minute amounts of two other substances, amyl alcohol and 1-methylhydantoin, found in ampules shipped in 1963. FDA’s chemical analysis was soon supported by the findings of the National Cancer Institute that Krebiozen ‘does not possess any anticancer activity in man.'” [11] Ivy and Durovic were brought to trial in 1964.[10] 1965 Press Photo Dr. Steven Durovic, Marko, Andrew Ivy, in U.S. District Court. Despite her irrefutable evidence, Hayden encountered resistance from Krebiozen's passionate supporters and manufacturers. The drug's defenders claimed there was a conspiracy to keep it off the market, and newspapers demanded "Real Hope To Cure Cancer". Kennedy pushed for Krebiozen When the case went to trial in 1965, Hayden was one of 179 witnesses who testified, presenting her findings amidst a highly controversial and emotionally charged atmosphere. he defense exploited the jury's lack of scientific expertise, sowing doubt about the precision of her methods. Ultimately, despite Hayden's clear evidence and testimony, the jury shockingly acquitted the defendants, demonstrating the uphill battle she faced in convincing the public of the truth behind this medical scam. Recognition and legacy While Hayden's groundbreaking work did not receive widespread recognition during her lifetime, her contributions to regulatory science and public health protection were significant. She testified at the criminal trial of Krebiozen's promoters, demonstrating the crucial role of scientific evidence in law enforcement. Today, Hayden is remembered as a pioneer who paved the way for future generations of women and minorities in science. Alma Levant Hayden died at 40 years old of liver cancer. Alma Levant Hayden (1927 - 1967) Intersectionality: the key to innovation Hayden's success can be attributed, in part, to her unique intersectional perspective. As an African American woman in a field dominated by white men, she brought a multifaceted approach to her work. Her experiences likely heightened her awareness of the importance of rigorous scientific standards and ethical considerations in protecting public health. This intersectionality allowed Hayden to challenge conventional thinking and apply a more holistic approach to drug safety. Her background as a member of marginalized communities may have contributed to her dedication to exposing fraudulent treatments that often preyed on vulnerable populations. Parallels with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Hayden's story offers valuable lessons for modern Corporate Social Responsibility practices: Ethical decision-making : Her commitment to exposing the truth about Krebiozen, despite potential backlash, exemplifies the ethical backbone necessary in CSR. Scientific rigor : Hayden's insistence on thorough testing mirrors the need for companies to base decisions on solid evidence and research. Protection of vulnerable populations : Her work in exposing fraudulent cancer treatments aligns with CSR's focus on protecting consumers and ensuring product safety. Diverse perspectives : Hayden's unique background contributed to her innovative approach, highlighting the value of diversity and inclusion in corporate decision-making. Conclusion Alma Levant Hayden's life and work underscore the critical role of intersectionality in scientific innovation and its parallel importance in corporate social responsibility. Her legacy continues to inspire scientists and business leaders to embrace diverse perspectives, maintain ethical standards, and prioritize public health and safety in their pursuits of progress and sustainability.

  • Embracing intersectionality in science: Mary Jackson, breaking the mold - The aerospace engineer who redefined possibilities (Chapter 15)

    In the realm of aerospace engineering, few stories resonate as powerfully as that of Mary Jackson, whose journey is emblematic of the struggle for equality and representation in science. The 2016 film Hidden Figures brought her remarkable story to a global audience, highlighting not only her groundbreaking achievements but also those of her fellow African American women mathematicians at NASA. Mary Jackson played a pivotal role in the success of the United States space program during a time when racial and gender biases were deeply intertwined in American society.[1] Early life and education Born in Hampton, Virginia, in 1921, Mary Jackson showed an early aptitude for mathematics and science. Jackson's early life was marked by academic excellence. She attended Hampton's all-Black schools, including the George P. Phenix Training School, where she graduated with high honors in 1937. This achievement, despite the challenges of racial segregation, demonstrates her exceptional abilities and determination from a young age.[2] After high school, Jackson went on to attend Hampton Institute (now Hampton University), a historically black college. She graduated with high honors in 1942, earning dual bachelor's degrees in mathematics and physical science. Obtaining a dual degree was a significant accomplishment, especially for a black woman in the segregated United States of the 1940s. It's important to note that while racial segregation presented significant barriers, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) like Hampton Institute played a crucial role in providing higher education opportunities for African Americans during this period. These institutions allowed talented students like Jackson to pursue advanced studies in fields that might have been otherwise inaccessible due to racial discrimination. Mary Jackson's early career Mary Jackson's career path before joining NASA reflects the complex challenges faced by African American women in the 1940s and early 1950s. Despite her impressive educational background, with dual bachelor's degrees in mathematics and physical science, Jackson navigated a series of diverse positions shaped by the societal norms and limitations of her time: Jackson began her professional journey as a mathematics teacher at an African American school in Calvert County, Maryland, for a year after graduation. Returning to Hampton in 1943, she took on a role as a bookkeeper at the National Catholic Community Center. Her career then led her to a position as a receptionist and clerk at Hampton Institute's Health Department. Following societal expectations for women of that era, Jackson took time away from her career to focus on family responsibilities after the birth of her son. She later worked as an Army secretary at Fort Monroe. In 1951, just before joining NASA, Jackson held a clerk position at the Office of the Chief Army Field Forces at Fort Monroe.[3] This varied career trajectory illustrates the limited opportunities available to African American women in STEM fields during this period. Jackson's experiences were shaped by racial and gender discrimination, economic necessities, and societal expectations regarding women's roles. Despite these challenges, she consistently sought positions that would allow her to utilize her strong background in mathematics and physical science, demonstrating her determination to pursue a career aligned with her education and skills. Mary Jackson' contributions to aerospace engineering Finally, in 1951, Jackson was recruited by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later became NASA. This marked a pivotal moment in her professional journey, as she began her career as a research mathematician in the West Area Computing Section at Langley Research Center, where she could finally apply her scientific knowledge and skills in a meaningful way. Mary Jackson's career at NASA represents a remarkable journey of perseverance, innovation, and advocacy in the field of aerospace engineering. As the first African American female engineer at NASA, Jackson broke through significant barriers in a male-dominated and racially segregated environment, making substantial contributions that advanced the field of aerodynamics and aircraft design. The Supersonic Pressure Tunnel One of her most notable achievements was her groundbreaking research in the Supersonic Pressure Tunnel, where she studied the effects of airflow on aircraft traveling at nearly twice the speed of sound. This facility was crucial for understanding how aircraft behave under extreme conditions, and Jackson's work focused specifically on the complex dynamics of boundary layer effects on aerospace vehicle configurations at supersonic speeds. By analyzing data from wind tunnel experiments and real-world flight tests, she gained insights into air flow, thrust, and drag forces that were essential for improving the performance of U.S. aircraft. To explain this in simpler terms: Imagine a paper airplane flying through the air. The way the air moves around the nose (front) of the plane affects how well it flies. Mary Jackson studied how the shape of the nose and the speed of the plane change the way air flows over it when the plane is flying incredibly fast - faster than the speed of sound. She found that by adjusting the angle of the nose and the speed of the aircraft, engineers could control where the smooth air flow around the plane becomes turbulent. This discovery was crucial because it helped designers create better, more efficient supersonic aircraft by reducing drag and improving overall performance This research was published in her first co-authored report in 1958, titled "Effects of nose angle and mach number on transition on cones at supersonic speeds".[4] Her work contributed to the development of faster, more aerodynamic planes, which was vital for both military and civilian aviation advancements during the space race era. Throughout her career, Jackson authored or co-authored twelve technical papers for NACA (the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) and NASA, contributing valuable knowledge to the aerospace community. Advocating for women and minorities in the aerospace Mary Jackson's legacy extends far beyond her groundbreaking technical achievements in aerospace engineering. Throughout her career and especially in her later years, she became a powerful advocate for diversity and inclusion in STEM fields, working tirelessly to create opportunities for women and minorities in science and engineering. After 34 years of distinguished service at NASA, Jackson made a bold and selfless decision. Despite having reached the highest engineering title available to her, she recognized that to effect real change, she needed to shift her focus. In a move that exemplified her commitment to others, she accepted a demotion to become the manager of both the Federal Women's Program and the Affirmative Action Program within NASA's Office of Equal Opportunity Programs.[5] In these roles, Jackson's impact was profound and multifaceted. She mentored countless young students, particularly women and minorities, providing personalized guidance and unwavering support. Her famous quote, We have to do the best we can with what we have, became a rallying cry for those facing obstacles in their STEM careers. Jackson worked diligently to improve hiring and promotion practices at NASA, challenging discriminatory policies and advocating for systemic changes. She was instrumental in establishing programs that provided resources and opportunities for underrepresented groups in STEM, laying the groundwork for initiatives like STEM Goes Red, [6] which continues to inspire middle school girls to pursue science and technology careers. As a public speaker and role model, Jackson used her platform to raise awareness about the importance of diversity in STEM fields. Her own career served as a powerful example, demonstrating that women and people of color could not only succeed in engineering but make significant contributions to scientific advancements. Jackson's advocacy work has had a lasting impact on the scientific community. Her efforts have inspired numerous programs and initiatives that continue to support diversity in STEM fields today. By working to ensure that future generations would have better opportunities than she faced, Mary Jackson played a crucial role in shaping a more inclusive and diverse scientific landscape. Through her technical brilliance, unwavering determination, and commitment to others, Mary Jackson not only broke barriers for herself but dedicated her life to dismantling them for those who would follow. Her legacy continues to inspire and guide efforts to create a more equitable and diverse STEM community. Intersectionality in science: Mary Jackson's impact Mary Jackson's life and career powerfully illustrate the importance of embracing intersectionality in science. As an African American woman in aerospace engineering during the mid-20th century, Jackson navigated multiple intersecting layers of discrimination and barriers. However, her unique perspective and experiences allowed her to: Bring diverse viewpoints to problem-solving in aerospace engineering Inspire and mentor other underrepresented individuals in STEM Challenge and change institutional practices that hindered diversity and inclusion Awards and recognition Mary Jackson's contributions to science and society have received significant recognition, particularly in recent years: The book and film "Hidden Figures" brought Jackson's remarkable story to a global audience, highlighting her groundbreaking work as NASA's first Black female engineer. Portrayed by Janelle Monáe in the 2016 film adaptation, Jackson's character embodies resilience and determination, inspiring a new generation to challenge societal norms in STEM fields. In a momentous tribute to her legacy, NASA renamed its headquarters in Washington, D.C., the Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters in 2019. This honor acknowledges her pivotal role in advancing both aerospace technology and equality within the organization. Jackson was also posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2019, one of the highest civilian honors in the United States. This prestigious recognition further cements her place in history as a trailblazer who overcame significant barriers to make lasting contributions to science and society. These accolades serve to preserve Mary Jackson's legacy, ensuring that her pioneering spirit and dedication to advancing both scientific knowledge and social progress continue to inspire future generations of scientists and engineers. Conclusion Mary Jackson's legacy serves as a powerful reminder of the untapped potential that exists when we embrace diversity and intersectionality in science. Her story inspires us to continue breaking down barriers and creating inclusive environments where all individuals, regardless of their background, can contribute to scientific advancement and sustainable innovation.
