The “Association of Olympiad Winners” is a company that aims at helping students in Russian schools to prepare for academic intellectual competitions (“olympiads”) that enable them to secure a free place in the top universities across the country. To achieve high results in olympiads a student needs to have knowledge that is well beyond the school curriculum, so it requires a lot of self-preparation. That is where the AOW begins its mission: the company connects the former participants of the olympiads with the current students by organizing various types of courses ranging from one-week intensive courses to year-long all-rounded olympiad trainings.
The company started in 2015 as a small initiative of several university students who were motivated to raise awareness around the intellectual competitions as they believed that olympiads encourage students to think “out of the box,” seek creative solutions and enhance self-motivation on their academic way.
Now the company has over 500 experienced teachers who help students all round the country to look beyond the school programme and nourish their academic curiosity.

The restaurant has remained firm in keeping its tradition while seeking to innovate in as many ways as possible. The formula for becoming a community landmark has been to keep the menu simple; the Kalguksu noodle recipe has remained unchanged since the restaurant's opening, and the architecture has also stayed the same, helping to create a strong identity for the restaurant.
For this reason, it has sought to employ women who need to support their families, not only to meet household needs but also to contribute to the community. Innovation has never been far from this business. Even though it has kept the same traditional homemade noodle recipe, over the past four decades, it has developed a hygienic packaging model, born when demand for its Kimchi grew so much that it needed to package noodles.
Also, true to its values, the business has been driven by women since day one. The founder hired housewives who needed an income, giving their work real value. Today, the restaurant continues to support women aged 40 to 60. Nowadays, the business seeks to present itself in a more modern way and has also studied the nutritional value of its food. They have scientifically analyzed their homemade Kimchi recipe and discovered that it contains a balanced amount of beneficial bacteria for the digestive system, in greater proportion than those found in large-scale commercial products. This business is a clear example that tradition can be sustainable and create real value in society.

For many years now, young Filipinos have found themselves stuck at a crossroads once they finish college. They are eager to gain experience and learn about this new world; however, due to factors such as limited experience, unequal access to opportunities, and skill mismatch. Too often, the only option seems to be seeking work abroad in order to support their families. The Philippines continues to grapple with unemployment. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the unemployment rate stood at 4.3% as of January 2025, with youth unemployment taking up 6.6%. If we examine those numbers more closely, we will notice that approximately 2.38 million Filipinos were recorded as unemployed in 2024. Of that population, many were undergraduates and recent graduates.
Responding to this growing concern, and strong alignment with SDG 8’s : Decent Work and Economic Growth, the croffle store franchise located in Parkmall has created accessible and meaningful opportunities for the youth. Through targeting this specific growth in the food and beverage sector, the franchise aims to provide young Filipinos with valuable professional experiences, financial stability, and equitable access to career paths. This initiative reflects a recognition that unemployment among the youth isn’t merely an economic issue, but also a matter of social equity and empowerment.

The innovation is about reducing single-use plastics and chemicals as part of the COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) 5-year corporate plan at Gofal Cymru Care, published in 2025, lasting until 2030. This was put in place because the company wanted to not just reduce the use of single-use plastics, but also chemical usage and strive to be more sustainable as a business, by reusing and recycling bottles where possible. Now, the company uses eco-friendly pods that can be used as a cleaning solution when mixed with water. This has meant that single-use plastics has fallen by 45% in consumption across the company and less usage of hazardous chemicals within the organisation’s care services. The reduction of single-use plastics and hazardous chemical usage can be linked to the United Nations sustainability and development goal of Responsible Consumption and Production, which promotes sustainable management of resources and reduction of waste through reuse and recycling (SD 12).
While many companies focus on a single innovation, one could say that Litoplas’ innovation lies in the integration of sustainability into its business model. While sustainability itself is not a new concept, the string of innovations that emerged from this commitment makes it transformative. From the creation of their spin-off, Polyrec, dedicated to transforming post-consumer plastic waste back into raw materials Litoplas contributes directly to the Sustainable Development Goal 12.
Since then, Litoplas decided to further commit to their sustainable production agenda and have taken various steps to do so such as, adopting cutting-edge machinery such as the Bobst Exlam (extrusion lamination) machine, which replaces the use of chemical adhesives in the lamination process with a molten plastic layer, which aligns with SDG #9 as they have optimized production efficiency and reduced harmful emissions. Beyond production, Litoplas has demonstrated strong social commitment through SDG #4 and SDG #8 by providing education for waste pickers about recyclable materials, donation recycling stations to local schools, and collaborating with artisans who create crafts from discarded materials. Together, these initiatives reflect a holistic approach where innovation serves not only the company’s growth but also the well-being of people, communities, and the planet.
