Businesses rely on managing data, and for 40 years, one company has been at the forefront of helping them to do just that: Oracle is a global business leader that impacts companies around the world, helping them use data for people, not just about people. But how does Oracle help companies—specifically their HR teams—thrive in a world defined by agility and disruption? Juergen Lindner, SVP of Global Marketing, Oracle Cloud Applications, says that from the beginning, the company has never taken the easy way out: “We started from scratch. We rebuilt, rethought, reimagined everything, from the applications layer to the infrastructure layer, and that allows us to be unique in our ability to partner with our clients.” For every line of business, Oracle has packaged business capabilities where you can start anywhere and seamlessly extend it on the same platform.

A collaboration between a renewable oil producer and a UK-based plastic recycling specialist is seeking to “revolutionise the way that plastic waste is treated around the globe”. In mid-August Teesside-based ReNew ELP and Finnish refinery giant Neste signed a Memorandum of Understanding that will see both companies work together to capitalise on the value of waste plastic as a raw material feedstock for the production of liquid hydrocarbons, chemicals and new plastics. In Europe, around 27 million tonnes of post-consumer plastic waste is generated each year. Approximately a third is currently collected for recycling, with the remainder either landfilled, incinerated or dumped, polluting vulnerable ecosystems.
