Nora Bussigny, a journalist for the conservative French magazine Le Point, published an expose on Jan 17 on an anti-Israel club providing training to French Wikipedia editors; the co-founder of the group denied any intent to manipulate the encyclopedia There are more than 300 different language Wikipedias, all with their own unique article content and some differences in site policy. But according to Bussigny, offsite coordination on specific edits is prohibited on French Wikipedia, just as it is on English Wikipedia who has been investigating French Wikipedia for nearly two years learned that an announcement was shared on the site’s internal channels to “join the Palestine contributors club” and “apply the ethical principles of Wikipedia and those of the Palestinian resistance for an encyclopedia where justice triumphs.” According to Bussigny’s story the Urgence Palestine (Palestine Emergency) collective; the club’s co-founder has claimed that the club is independent from any political group––including Urgence Palestine––and that Urgence Palestine promoted it at his request Bussigny registered under an alias of an anti-Zionist history student where she observed and recorded a training session that featured a researcher at The French National Centre for Scientific Research and a member of the anti-Israel Boycott who went by the name “Bader,” instructed everyone to create a French Wikipedia account and to hide their identities who identified himself as a “Palestine Emergency activist,” “if all media can be reliable sources.” He reportedly said no and instructed session members to deride the credibility of journalistic sources that went against the Palestinian narrative by claiming that they are unreliable or biased “You can use this argument to blow up information even when it is neutral,” Bader told session attendees Bader’s view of a reliable media outlet is L’Humanite which Bussigny described in her report as being a “communist” publication “that is historically and unfailingly pro-Palestinian.” He also told members of the session to “police your speech” on French Wikipedia in order to follow the site’s rules and declared that “by being neutral we’re on the Palestinian side.” Bader told session attendees that in order to gain credibility as editors they should start with benign topics in order to nail down the basics of editing and to avoid being viewed on the site as an activist “You do a bit of Palestine … you take a little break you make an edit or two … and you come back to Palestine after,” Bader reportedly told session attendees Bader warned that the pro-Israel side is “organized” on French Wikipedia and that the anti-Israel editors on English Wikipedia “are successful” despite being “targeted.” But Bussigny noted in her report that “no organized pro-Israeli group of editors has been denounced for the moment” and that in December editors on English Wikipedia were sanctioned over their reported involvement in a Tech for Palestine (TFP) Discord channel where offsite coordination took place screenshots I have obtained from the TFP channel purportedly show someone named “baderdean” participating in the channel baderdean announces that “we have a French Wikipedia team We’re currently working on UNRWA in French.” Baderdean asks the channel what they have worked with and then says “we use a free tool called WikiAdvisor.io to review changes made by the team by a more senior Wikipedian before publishing them.” Other messages purportedly show baderdean discussing with leaders of the channel the possibility of having a meeting “several commentators underlined the long-standing anti-fascist significance of the red triangle although the symbol had been taken up as a mark of support for Palestinian fighters in the Gaza Strip.” Baderdean also wrote in the channel that “in english [sic] Wikipedia, it would be nice if someone work on promoting this narrative among others: Red triangle as a global anti-fascist anti-colonial pro-resistance symbol.” That narrative does not currently appear in the English Wikipedia article on the red triangle ChottGuebli also made an edit to the French Wikipedia UNRWA page in February Could baderdean be the Bader that Bussigny refers to in her Le Point article Baderdean went on to claim that the purpose of his club is to train “people to contribute to Wikipedia according to the principles of the encyclopedia one of the most important of which is neutrality of point of view which is not the absence of ‘bias of certain contributors’ as the pseudo-investigator writes but the representation of different points of view supported by quality sources.” He added that “an extremist pro-Israeli opinion denying the genocide of the Palestinians based solely on a far-right fascist ‘reinformation’ site that has no place in an encyclopedia… Obviously like L’Humanité (but it could have been a media outlet from another political side) has its place.”  He also denied encouraging “removal of opinions from Wikipedia that were not mine and even less the censorship of those citing Le Point but on the contrary to contribute more to the pages of the Palestine project for which we have quality sources.” Regarding Bussigny’s reporting that he instructed users on how to gain credibility on the site baderdean wrote that he simply “encouraged people to contribute on multiple themes first and foremost because in life as in Wikipedia we all have plural knowledge that it is good to share” and that he encouraged anonymity as a means to protect editors from “trolls Baderdean also claimed that the club is not associated with any organization but he acknowledged being an activist for the organization and that Urgence Palestine “kindly relayed its launch announcement at my request as it relays many initiatives that are external to it.” He went on to claim that “the entire article is based on Nora Bussigny’s ‘infiltration’ during a single meeting … Her ‘method’ is summed up in amalgams and trials of intentions An error revealing her bias.” In her article Bussigny stated that the session members targeted the “Death of Yahya Sinwar” article “Nora Bussigny specializes in infiltrating so-called ‘woke’ citizen movements with the aim of discrediting them: feminists, climate activists,” baderdean wrote she is tackling the movement in support of Palestine I am sharing with you our edifying exchange on the choice of statements reported all with a single intention: to initiate a prosecution against Wikipedia and activists for Palestine.” I discreetly recorded the entire group I infiltrated so he can accuse me of making false statements but the evidence is there,” Bussigny told me I’m still convinced that this pseudonym is his ‘official’ profile but that he must certainly have other Wikipedia accounts the history of which must be very interesting to consult as this account has only been modified a few times which doesn’t fit in with what he said during the course.” Bussigny was not convinced at the claim that Urgence Palestine which she described as a “highly controversial” organization because of their “apology for terrorism and so on,” is not involved in the Wikipedia group “Bader explained to us at the outset of his presentation that he was an activist with this collective and the collective had also relayed the link directly to their social networks so that their subscribers could sign up for Bader’s training,” she told me “It’s hard to believe that a collective would share this invitation to join the course on their social networks without any interest Especially as Bader had specified that [there] were several trainers if I’m not mistaken even if I don’t have the identity or number of his acolytes.” Regarding other claims baderdean made in his post Bussigny told me that Bader “did give us some work on the page for Yahya Sinwar … This is perfectly audible in the recording I’ve kept of our training session neither my colleague nor I work exclusively on pro-Palestinian activism; we work on French societal issues in France there has been a staggering rise in antisemitism since 7 October 2023 and the radical nature of ‘anti-Zionist’ activism has led to some very serious cases of assault but we are neither Middle East specialists nor war reporters.” I sent a series of questions to an email address purportedly belonging to Bader; my requests for comment were not returned by press time “When the Israel-Hamas war comes to Wikipedia contributors.” For example she told me that “the word ‘Hamas’ caused tension among the encyclopedia’s editors because some of them were doing their utmost to remove the reference to the organization as a ‘terrorist,’ despite the fact that it was a recognized fact The same applies to our MEP [Member of the European Parliament] Rima Hassan who belongs to the ultra-left party La France Insoumise Known for her highly controversial stance against Israel journalists at Le Point investigated her and (uncovered a €10,000 grant obtained through the foundation of a Swiss-Tunisian businessman) this was immediately censored by contributors to her Wikipedia page who were fiercely vigilant in ensuring that her page remained ‘smooth.’ There are many examples of this.” “The word ‘Hamas’ caused tension among the encyclopedia’s editors because some of them were doing their utmost to remove the reference to the organization as a ‘terrorist,’ despite the fact that it was a recognized fact.” – Nora Bussigny A separate investigation by her colleague Erwan Seznec details how Le Point’s page on French Wikipedia is tarnished with claims that the publication is “Islamophobic,” on the “extreme right” and that it has published defamatory articles against Le Monde the ultra-progressive tendency,” Seznec wrote “And anyone who dares to critically analyze wokeness – and in particular the excesses of trans activists – or who holds an intransigent line against Islamism or the dogmas of radical ecology will be struck by their wrath radical ecology: this is the winning trio of sensitive subjects that expose one to reprisals on Wikipedia a real conflict divides French contributors in the image of society,” Bussigny told me “The problem is the denial of reality and proven information in favor of a militant bias like the attempts to (edit out any reference to) Hamas as a terrorist organization I was keen to reveal and prove through this immersion that fiercely anti-Zionist organized networks are targeting the online encyclopedia especially among pupils and students who may be unknowingly influenced.” “seems to deny the existence of certain manipulations by contributors with very militant profiles it did not respond to my requests for information for this survey such coordination is not authorized within the French Wikipedia Some political parties have already been denounced for trying to influence Wikipedia pages in an organized way for electoral purposes.” elections in the 39th World Zionist Congress nears conclusion—voting closes May 4—American Zionist Movement (AZM) Executive Director Herbert Block said there were few barriers of entry to voting in what Jewish leaders are describing as a consequential election We are here today because Jewish fathers and mothers wanted more than happiness from their children The bipartisan group includes Los Angeles representatives Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) and Ted Lieu (D-West LA) Speaking ill of someone once most likely leads to a second time 90 full-time jobs will be cut in the editorial department and 200 in the printing plants The printing centers in Bussigny VD and Zurich will be closed The professional associations reacted indignantly and demanded a correction to the corporate strategy CEO Jessica Peppel-Schulz did not yet reveal to the media in Zurich on Tuesday how many jobs will be cut at which editorial offices Tamedia is first waiting for the consultation process This is due to start in the second half of September Tamedia will have 1200 employees in the future Around 120 employees from the advertising market are to join Tamedia from Goldbach because Tamedia wants to organize advertising marketing internally from the beginning of 2025 the fact that marketing is moving closer to the product is understandable and correct: "For Goldbach this means 'back to the roots' in the areas of TV The collaboration with Tamedia and also with 20 Minuten will be continued where it makes sense This sharpens our focus and also makes us more independent," the Goldbach CEO told m&k Chief Revenue Officer and Member of the Management Board at Tamedia talks about the company's strategic decision to take the sale of advertising back into its own hands and found Tamedia Advertising While Tamedia plans to close the printing plants in Bussigny and Zurich in 2025 and 2026 respectively External titles will also be printed there All Tamedia titles will also continue to be published as printed newspapers The printing plants are currently operating at between 30 and over 50 percent capacity Tamedia will focus on the four "strongest brands" online It remains to be seen how exactly Confederation and Tribune de Genève will continue The other titles such as Country Messenger Zurichsee-Zeitung or Thuner Tagblatt will no longer have their own online presence There were strong reactions to the redundancy plans from French-speaking Switzerland on Tuesday The editorial offices sent a message in the afternoon describing the plans as "intolerable" The editorial team of Tribune de Genève even accuses Tamedia in a separate press release of wanting to kill the newspaper The reactions of the cantonal governments of Zurich and Vaud differ the Zurich Department of Economic Affairs only stated that it regretted any job cuts in the canton wants to seek talks with those responsible in view of the print shop closure The State Council views the recurring rounds of cost-cutting at Tamedia in recent years with great concern the Intergovernmental Conference of Western Switzerland is also concerned about the "further weakening of the media landscape" For the Impressum professional association the redundancy plans are "self-destructive" the Syndicom trade union spoke of a downsizing policy with no consideration for employees Both organizations were particularly bothered by the fact that the listed parent company TX Group paid out dividends despite various waves of redundancies The media union SSM is deeply concerned and considers the cuts in the printing sector to be particularly serious Western Switzerland is also likely to be disproportionately affected due to the large loss of advertising Tamedia is being asked to "take social and regional obligations seriously" The Swiss Media Publishers Association responded to the plans for cuts by calling for an increase in indirect press subsidies It is calling on the National Council to increase existing press subsidies to CHF 45 million in the fall session The TX Group published its half-year figures this morning compared to CHF 13.7 million in the same period of the previous year Advertising revenues at Tamedia and 20 Minuten and the printing business were down The online marketplaces combined in the Swiss Marketplace Group (SMG) were extremely profitable and increased their margins once again Goldbach managed to return to a positive adjusted operating result 06/06/2018 By Nestlé announced plans to cut its Swiss workforce by 580 The plans involve restructuring its IT department with a focus on extending its technology hub in Spain this re-organization could lead to a reduction of up to 500 IT positions in Switzerland A source close to Nestlé told Le News that around two thirds of the cuts will occur in Vevey and the remaining third in Lausanne and at the company’s data centre in Bussigny around 1,000 IT contractors and onsite IT vendor staff will be affected Nespresso is also part of the shake up as the company plans to establish dedicated operational centers in Spain and Portugal to improve e-commerce and supply chain These roles will be offered to the 80 staff currently holding them in Switzerland Group Head of Human Resources and Member of the Nestlé Executive Board said: “Nestlé

Swiss-based Nestlé staff rose from around 6,700 in 2003 to over 10,100 in 2017 the company invested CHF 289 million in Switzerland and aims to invest CHF 300 million during 2018 At the same time Nestlé’s strategy aims to make structural cost savings in manufacturing, procurement and administrative services, according to its latest annual report procurement and general administration are

are from accommodation Large hotels are particularly energy-hungry they also consume huge amounts of food and water resources chief executive of Australian green consultancy EarthCheck notes that if hotels are not legally required to reduce energy and resource use they may not proactively invest the time and money to operate in a more resource-efficient way it has been difficult to fiscally quantify the benefits (of sustainability efforts) over any time period” But the good news is that there is a growing body of evidence that proves the business case for implementing sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices For example, a recent study released in September by Susanne Becken sustainable development professor at Australia’s Griffith University finds that tourism businesses which measure resource conservation and participate in EarthCheck’s sustainability certification scheme save tens of thousands of dollars a year But the pay-offs from investing in sustainability and CSR measures can go far beyond simple savings due to resource conservation As French hoteliers AccorHotels have found such efforts also help clinch new contracts from corporate clients tells Eco-Business that the company recently commissioned two studies to “validate the common idea” that CSR is not just the responsible way to operate The findings of both surveys were released in May this year One survey, carried out by Accor and verified by management consultancy EY, examined the links between CSR and business performance It polled 45 of Accor’s business-to-business (B2B) clients using an online questionnaire to understand how important it was for them that their suppliers had good CSR practices The second study was done by market research experts Accenture Strategy, and looked at how CSR affects customer satisfaction This survey was based on data drawn from 3,518 Accor hotels from 2011 to 2013 These hotels are part of various brands owned by Accor The results of both these surveys are a resounding affirmation of the belief that sustainability is worth the effort for Accor which says it has been committed to sustainable development for over two decades One key finding was that Accor’s CSR credentials helped it to win more business from a client base that is increasingly conscious about corporate responsibility Almost all the firms polled by Accor said that CSR is important to them and about three-quarters of them have a responsible purchasing policy Half the companies said that CSR would be a deciding factor between two otherwise competitive options while one-third would terminate a supplier if they were not happy with their CSR performance These B2B clients contributed some 80.6 million euros of revenue for Accor out of about 224 million euros generated from total B2B clients An additional 11 per cent of clients said that they retain Accor as a “Preferred Partner” due to their good reputation for corporate responsibility Accor’s leadership in sustainability and CSR also results in happier A key element of the chain’s green efforts is ensuring that the environmental management systems in its hotels comply with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)’s stringent certification This standard lays out requirements for the systems that organisations use to manage and monitor sustainability performance Criteria that companies must fulfil include having an environmental policy which is supported by company leaders and measuring metrics such as resource use and waste generation 40 per cent of all non-budget hotels in the Accor group are ISO 14001 certified Accenture Strategy found that this ISO 14001 label is not only an internationally recognised stamp of approval Survey data found that ISO certification had a stronger correlation to customer happiness than how recently the hotel was renovated implying that it could be more worthwhile for hotels to improve their environmental management systems in order to boost guest comfort than to refurbish their buildings Analysis also revealed that when hotels have good environmental management systems they perform better in Accor’s own sustainability ranking programme This system recommends 65 actions that hotels can take to reduce their environmental footprint and be socially responsible Staff have the feeling of doing the right thing and there is a greater sense of pride and motivation This positive spirit spread to their daily routine and employees are more committed to their tasks and warmer to guests Suggestions include using water-efficient laundry services Charter 21 is part of Accor’s main sustainability programme This initiative outlines measurable targets in areas like carbon emissions and health that must be achieved by the end of this year Accor also undertakes CSR initiatives such as ‘Soap for Hope’ where used soap from hotels is recycled and distributed to low income communities; and ‘Plant for the Planet’ where the chain funds tree-planting activities worldwide Money for this comes from the savings achieved on laundry bills when guests reuse their towels for more than one night None of the hotels surveyed was able to achieve the Charter 21’s top Platinum rank without the ISO 14001-approved systems in place The impact on ISO 14001 on Charter 21 level This is noteworthy because Charter 21 ranking in turn improves customer satisfaction Accenture Strategy found that the correlation between the number of sustainability recommendations adopted and happy campers was even stronger than that for a hotel’s renovation date and room price Herrmann explains that this could be because a commitment to CSR shines through in how employees engage with guests Staff “have the feeling of doing the right thing and there is a greater sense of pride and motivation” “This positive spirit spread to their daily routine and employees are more committed to their tasks and warmer to guests.” While these findings show with unexpected definitiveness the value of investing in sustainability and CSR the most surprising finding is the strong link between the hotel’s profitability and its performance in Accor’s Charter 21 system The survey shows that hotels which have not yet achieved a Charter 21 rating or are still at the basic Bronze level are less profitable than average and Platinum-ranked hotels have higher earnings than the rest The link between Charter 21 level and profitability This proves that sustainability performance The findings prove to hotel owners and investors that “by investing in CSR programs they are not only doing good for the planet and for their people but ultimately are having a positive impact on the performance of their hotels and the satisfaction of their guests” These surveys have affirmed Accor’s belief that CSR and sustainability are good for business and will guide Accor even after its Planet 21 action plan expires at the end of this year it has inspired the company to integrate even more CSR into the new five-year strategy with targets for 2020” Your support helps to strengthen independent
