(And if you want a bit more Bloomberg, why not do Bloomberg Certification here at Middlesex? The course is free and supported by Sarah, our Economics Librarian. One MDX student did so well on the course they got a job offer!)
Moving to the news round up, this piece from the Guardian is on the environmental hazard posed by microbeads in facial scrubs and the search for eco-friendly alternatives, perhaps I a good opportunity for green entrepreneurship. Thinking about ethical matters, Sheryl Sandberg has become the second female billionaire to pledge to give away half her fortune to ethical causes. Other billionaires to do the same include Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Sara Blakely. This article from the Harvard Business Review also offers suggestions on how social entrepreneurship can have the biggest impact, it talks about how they can best grow their organisation and what challenges face social entrepreneurs.
To finish this ethical roundup, I have another Guardian article, this time arguing that the moral case for the minimum wage is not enough and that businesses must be persuaded of the benefits of paying their staff better rather than seeing this as a burdensome cost.
