    As we continue to face environmental challenges, we need to focus on adopting sustainable practices that preserve  our natural resources. This includes 30% of global electricity generation by renewable energy sources, and over 90% of large corporations have adopted sustainable goal or initaitves. The goal of achieving 30% of global electricity generation from renewable energy sources is necessary for addressing climate change and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Investing in renewable energy infrastructure and technologies is needed to achieve a more sustainable energy future. As countries strive to reduce their carbon footprint and battle the effects of climate change, there is a growing emphasis on increasing the share of renewable energy in the global electricity generation mix. This transition to a more sustainable energy system requires substantial investments in renewable technologies, policy support, and international cooperation. #SDBbank #sustainability #sustainability2024 #srilanka #world #sustainablebusiness #eco #sustainabledevelopment #sustainablefinance

    Elon Musk is a renowned entrepreneur, he has shared six rules that he follows to maintain high levels of productivity: Large meetings tend to become overcrowded, making it difficult for everyone to actively participate and share their ideas. This can lead to a waste of time and resources, as important viewpoints and insights may go unheard or overlooked. When individuals are constantly pulled away from their tasks to attend meetings, it becomes challenging for them to fully immerse themselves in their work and maintain a state of deep concentration. This interruption can lead to a loss of focus and hinder the ability to produce high-quality work. It is important to focus on tasks that match your skills and expertise. By performing tasks that you are passionate about and have a deep understanding of, you can maximize your potential to make a major difference. Prioritize tasks that have a direct impact on the goals and objectives of your organization or team. Employees should feel free to communicate directly with anyone in the organization to solve problems efficiently. This approach is designed to streamline processes and ensure that issues are addressed promptly without waiting for approval from multiple levels of management. When information is conveyed clearly and concisely, there is less room for interpretation or misinterpretation. When using precise language and actively listening, individuals can make sure that their message is understood accurately. This is especially important when discussing complex or sensitive matters, as misunderstandings can lead to confusion, conflict, and even costly mistakes. Common sense allows us to approach problems in a practical and straightforward manner, leading to effective solutions. When relying on our own intuition and logical thinking, we can cut through the noise and find simple answers to complex problems. #SDBbank #ElonMuskRules #worklife #worklifebalance #Srilanka #productivity #work #workplace #jobs
